As Evidence Mounts, DC Insiders Worry About Holder's Inaction On Wall Street Crime

37. I understand your frustration, Bandit. Of course, no one on DU believes that Romney

would clean house or do anything to prosecute the Wall Street criminals if he were elected. And it's not as if anyone who criticizes Obama wants to vote for Romney. That's too simple by far.

To your statement that Democrats seem as deeply ingrained in the corruption as Republicans, I would offer what Chris Hedges has repeatedly said - that ALL the levers of power have been corrupted. Thus, DU has put itself between a rock and a hard place.

I constantly have to self-censor what I write here, because of the "rock and a hard place" concept, if that makes any sense.

My training is in clinical social work, and I'm independently licensed in my state. My professional opinion is that there's a kind of codependent relationship between some DUers and President Obama, i.e., where, in the interest of stability in a family (and DU is a type of family) one member is protected from the consequences of his/her actions by others who take responsibility, make explanations and smooth out embarrassing situations. This is dysfunctional and tends to make for a lot of cognitive dissonance.

On the other hand, since this board is known as Democratic Underground, well ......, rock, etcetera.
