corporatists, bank lackeys, or toads like Holder, who goes out of his way to protect Wall?

When Baby Bush fucked over our nation by ignoring warnings, putting in his own village idiots (Condi Rice) in responsible positions of power, and failing to safeguard this country, what did he do after 9/11 One massive cover-up, two inane wars, and the destruction of the middle east as a potentially peaceful area. He refused to find out who failed at their jobs, who was to blame domestically for our unpreparedness, and to root out those responsible.

When Holder was in charge of the DOJ, and banksters ripped off Americans and America, what did he do? One massive cover-up, inane bail-outs with unbelievable generous terms, and the destruction of the financial security for millions of Americans. He refused to find out who failed at their jobs, who was to blame domestically for our unpreparedness, and to root out those responsible.

And people want to brag about this Wall Street hack's endorsement of another Wall Street hack?
