Just remember , not one person was jailed under the Obama Administration as a result of the financial calamity that was thrust upon this nation by those who embraced an all reward , no risk scenario. Contrast that with over 800 people ending up in jail under the Reagan Administration during the Savings and Loans crisis. Im sure its just a coincidence that Government Sachs was by far his largest campaign contributor AS WELL.
Was there a comfortable level of fraud in the most recent financial crisis?
In fact here is some data for people. Since 2009 George W bush has given more then 200 speeches, pocketing 100K-175K per appearance. No one on the Democratic side has really cared. Obama gives a speech, and everyone freaks out. Do you see the hypocrisy yet?
I agree with the blue.
I honestly don't understand why these conservatives still are obsessing about Obama.
All ex-presidents get paid to speak. Some more than others. I don't care what people pay them to make a speech. I wish they'd pay me.
On the Obama banking stuff and jail. Honestly that and the drone killings were/are my biggest issues with Obama. I do feel he should have gone after the banks and individuals who caused our financial collaspe along with putting in place protections (that Trump is now chipping away). People go to prison for less chaos than what these people willingly caused and they deserved prison time IMO and I do feel that there was some sort of payola going on to keep them out of prison.
Regardless, you conservatives need to stop paying so much attention to Obama. It is pretty sick and seems like you all cannot function without ragging on him. You have the presidency and both houses and the judicial soon, what the heck are you complaining about!!! Not all Americans hate Obama like you do, nor are we obsessed with him. He's a private citizen now and you shouldn't be paying attention to him like you are. Liberals/Democrats did not pay attention to what GW Bush did after he left office. They were glad he was gone. You should be glad Obama is gone and not care what he is doing.
There is a problem with this, however: Obama cut food stamps and bailed out Wall Street, punishing none of the people he readily admits caused the crisis. In February 2014, Obama signed a bill that would cut food stamps by $8.7 billion over the next 10 years. The legislation was estimated to cause 850,000 households to lose an average of $90 per month, while poverty and hunger are on the rise — even though they are already at disproportionately high levels compared to other OECD countries.
The cut was part of the omnibus 2014 Farm Bill. Just before signing legislation that reduced social services for the poor, MSNBC reported that “President Obama praised it as an example of bipartisan problem-solving that would help create jobs and move the American economy forward.”
So much for the left taking care of the poor people......just pawns in the game of politics. While the left blamed Christians for these cuts!
