Sure, the GOP must have been in a panic that Obama would undo all the damage their ideas did to the nation... and the GOP has NEVER taken any responsibility for imploding the economy. As True Believers... they seem to believe that their ideas are just too perfect to fail... and therefore they had to double down on their ideological purity even if everyone else saw them driving their crazy train off the cliff.

But refusing to prosecute any of the Wall Street thieves and sociopaths was a deliberate decision... in large part based on Holder's own views... and if you've never read the Holder memo...

But ultimately Obama's was president... and he's a smart guy. He should have known better than to let Wall Street reforms and prosecutions to drag out... and as far as I know we still don't know why he didn't go the FDR route... except that he's obviously a corporate Dem.
