So now we know --
Sen. Chris Dodd took $1.2 million and Rep. Barney Frank nearly another million in campaign contributions from Madoff, Standford, Thain, Lewis and other corrupt bankers and investors. Now we know that the SEC was emasculated purposely to thwart investigations of corrupt bankers, brokers and hedge fund operators. Thanks, Chris and Barney.
And, thank you, President Obama. He also took campaign money from Allen Standford. Who else, one wonders? His Presidential campaign was supposed to be based on change. Well, now we know what kind of change -- several million dollars of bribes from billionaires operating fraudulent investments and ponzi schemes.
What does the DNC have to say to retirees that are now wiped out, now destitute? "Oops, sorry our wealthy patrons stole your life savings?"
Instead, they find an easy scapegoat in former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He's bad, for sure. But, what Dodd, Frank, and Obama have done to us is even worse. They allowed unscrupulous bankers and financiers steal the future of this great nation. When will they be held accountable?
