Bernie Sanders: Stop Wall Street Loan-Sharking
'There is a huge sense of outrage in our country today at what Wall Street has done through greed, recklessness and, likely, illegal behavior. The “Masters of the Universe” have plunged our nation, and much of the world, into a deep recession which has caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, their homes, their savings and their hope for the future. In order to fully understand the cause of this fiasco, I have introduced legislation calling for a thorough investigation of the financial meltdown and the prosecution of those CEOs who might be guilty of illegal behavior. The culture of greed, fraud and excessive speculation must come to an end.'

3. Bernie's legislation is
the only way to actually stop this bullshit. Thorough investigation and prosecution is a must. Otherwise we are setting us up for more of the same, and we will deserve it.

4. Not only is it setting us up for more of the same but...
It's setting Obama and the democrats up for most of the blame. The truth and the timeline needs to be exposed.

6. No doubt. They are setting up Obama.
I have no doubt about this. It is just more of the vast right wing conspiracy. And it is a real threat.

7. I saw Slimy Shelby on CBS TV this morning trashing Obama
and blaming the AIG bonus payouts on Geitner and Mr. Obama. The propaganda blitz is in full swing.
