Classic comment from someone that just doesn't get it. Of course the big O and his master's have most of America fooled, hence the lack of questioning regarding the Big O's adviser Bobby Rubin who is just another crook.
From NY Times article on Citigroup:
“The bank’s downfall was years in the making and involved many in its hierarchy, particularly Mr. Prince and Robert E. Rubin, an influential director and senior adviser.
Citigroup insiders and analysts say that Mr. Prince and Mr. Rubin played pivotal roles in the bank’s current woes, by drafting and blessing a strategy that involved taking greater trading risks to expand its business and reap higher profits. Mr. Prince and Mr. Rubin both declined to comment for this article.
When he was Treasury secretary during the Clinton administration, Mr. Rubin helped loosen Depression-era banking regulations that made the creation of Citigroup possible by allowing banks to expand far beyond their traditional role as lenders and permitting them to profit from a variety of financial activities. During the same period he helped beat back tighter oversight of exotic financial products, a development he had previously said he was helpless to prevent.
And since joining Citigroup in 1999 as a trusted adviser to the bank’s senior executives, Mr. Rubin, who is an economic adviser on the transition team of President-elect Barack Obama, has sat atop a bank that has been roiled by one financial miscue after another.”
Looks to me like Rubin was one of the ringleaders of the criminal gang at Citigroup. And now his proteges Geitner and Sumners will control the Treasury and likely the Fed before all is said and done. By the way, no one is arguing that something shouldn’t be done about Citigroup. The point is that rewarding Rubin and his cronies with total control over the fiscal and monetary policy of the US does not look like change any thinking person should believe in.
As you can see this is just another pile of chit spewed on, We The People, as some sort of CHANGE WE CAN ALL BELIEVE IN!!! So go ahead and buy right into the scam that is Washington and GG Bernanke's beloved FED Banking system. Tell me again how Timmy boy Geithner is the best choice, unless of course you are saying best choice to Rob your ass blind, then I would have to agree.
Some of the Tools around here just need to get up to speed, here ya go, I particularly enjoyed the 9-27-08 article. http://www.worldreports.org/news
