Obama didn't prosecute wells fargo for the recent mass account fraud scandal. Obama stopped prosecution of any major financial or real estate institutions for mass fraud that caused the 2008 economic crisis. Obama didn't prosecute anyone for the robo fraud foreclosure scandal following the crisis. Obama gifted the major financial institutions with almost a trillion in unaccountable TARP bailouts and 4.5 trillion in quantitative easing. Obama carried water for these institutions after they gave themselves huge bonuses after getting bailed out. Obama did not nationalize the fraudulent failing banks and hedge funds that were bailed out (this had been done before in previous crisis). Obama ensured that protections for homeowners in the original tarp bill was removed. Obama made sure that the banks could foreclose on over 5 million american families. Obama made sure to implement austerity, a policy favored by banks. Obama in effect enacted policies that allowed fraudulent irresponsible lenders to be made whole on their bad loans and they also got the collateral on top of it. Obama's terrible policies were a large part of trump's win.

Thanks Obama.

George Herbert Walker Bush was harsher on bankers in the S&L crisis than obama was in the Great Recession.

I really have never understood how bragging about how weak and ineffectual you are is a good thing.

A lot of people would much rather believe that the guys they keep putting in power are well-meaning but frustrated by basic obstacles than that they're just plain evil, cause in the latter case they'd have to question their own motivations in backing them

Why was this a surprise to anyone?

Obama was a politician from Chicago. You know, machine politics central?

The only way it would be more blatant that nothing would actually get done is if they put up a politician from Detroit or, God forbid, New Jersey.

THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

I was just listening to the audio from a Canadian University where three faculty members held an inquisition of a TA because she showed her students a debate with some guy who is a bigot, I don't know, and it was really loving creepy. One of the worst things is how they wouldn't even tell her how many people had accused or reported her.

I'm a progressive person and general vote Dem ticket because I have a hard time trusting Republicans to handle anything, but holy poo poo this party is in so much trouble. Infighting and gender politics bullshit have completely crippled our ability to provide a message to people who are actually hurting. I'm pretty indifferent to gender politics and wish people could just move on past them. Let the trans people get called what they want and use the bathrooms. I don't give a gently caress it makes no difference to me.

Here in Seattle it's gonna cost me $293 to register my car, as well as another $300-400 repair for my wheel bearing and I'm living on welfare. But there's no real Dem support to actually get people like me into better training programs or networking connections so we can find well paying jobs suited to our skills. The simple fact is that Donald Trump, for all his idiocy, looked at a bunch of people who were suffering and said "I'm gonna make things better" while Clinton looked at people who were suffering and said "You're a bad person for not liking transexuals."
