Well Done, Mr. President! Now About That Foreclosure Fraud Settlement ...

Obama's been owned by the banks since day one. The settlement­s with Goldman Sachs, as documented in detail by Matt Taibi and others, were EXACTLY the sort that Obama's Justice Dept. and SEC have drawn up for the Foreclosur­e Fraud. Fines so microscopi­c that they probably only effected someone's stationary supplies budget for a month and no admission of any guilt to anything.

Full protection for the guilty in exchange for a ceremonial slap on the wrist with a bubblewrap­ped ruler.

It would be almost delusional to expect that this deal will go any other way. Even if it meant a temporary approval cratering, Obama's campaign crew is every bit as cynical and arrogant as romney's. They can't imagine that anyone will hold their feet to the fire for anything. Why? Because most attempts made to expose these candidates­' records thus far have been met with howls of "it's a smear" or "unfair!" from incredulou­s true-belie­vers of both parties.

Facts that fail to flatter a blind-fait­her's preferred opinion of their favored politician don't seem to penetrate too many heads. They know this well. Hark back to the rahm emanuel slurs a few years ago. Everyone in the administra­tion is fully aware that they can do anything they want because they know when push comes to shove, the beauty of the 2-party system will force people into voting for Obama once their campaign scare tactics kick into high gear this summer. They don't care about justice.
