The widespread fraud causes Great Recession.


Obama gets elected and appoints a lawyer from the firm representing the Wall Street companies that defrauded the American public as Attorney General.


In six year in office, AG Holder fails to bring up any serious charges against the Wall Street.


Now he's back to that law firm, where apparently "they held a corner office for him for the entire six years"




Why Eric Holder’s new job is an insult to the American public - Salon.com

Of course Bush let the Great Recession happen on his watch, so it's not like just one party is corrupt.

And, of course, Americans are too uninformed, passive and dumb and will just let it slide.

Why are you even worried about something like this? There are bigger things to worry about. Didn't you see the news? Paula Deen's son wore blackface!

Washington the District of Corruption is loaded with crooked politicians, always has been always will be. We saw it with Bush to an extent and now even more so with Obama. Obama did promise us the most transparent administration ever and I say he delivered it even with the media handling him with kid gloves we have still been witness to scandal after scandal which in the private sector would have the culprit axed and shown the door. In DC a scandal equals opportunity.

Maybe the country does need Trump. He could turn the oval office into a reality show and if a person screws up he could use his catch phrase "you're Fired"


No matter how much they tell us it is not DC is still the old boys club.

Maybe first some should realize what is and how is the government structured to work, then look at your congressmen and congresswomen, Obama has not been the problem, the problem has been the 'mentality of Republican opposition, and their first aim was to try and limit him to one term, then their next has been to try to do anything to tarnish democratic leadership, in their aims to try and regain credibility after years of grid-locking which was followed by their programmed lead into wars followed by the crash of the economy.
the separatist mentality of Republican Agenda has been on the march since the days of Nixon, the attacks on the general public during the Reagan Administration, to the New World Order of GW Bush, then cap that off with GW II and the lead into wars and destabilizing of the middle east while ramp-ing up the borrowing from China and sending 30 billion A MONTH to China in Trade Imbalances.
But, fact is when has Republicans ever faced the truth without trying to bury it and follow some script of confablous madness.

John ******** went on to be on the board of what used to be Blackwater after he left the attorney general's office.
Alberto Gonzales was so incompetent he couldn't even get a job after his tenure as AG.
What do you expect a high ranking political figure to do after they are out of office? Paint pictures of their puppy dogs?

edit: LOL that Ash Croft is a censored word on C-D

Holder's choice is nothing compared Ash*roft's.

Ash*roft also went on to form a lobbying firm and play on the terrorism fears. The entire system is corrupt, but people pick and choose who they go after based on personal feelings. It is ridiculous to point to Holder as anything more than a product of a political system that has worked this way for decades.

"In 2005 year-end filings, Ash*roft's firm reported collecting $269,000, including $220,000 from Oracle Corporation, which won Department of Justice approval of a multibillion-dollar acquisition less than a month after hiring Ash*roft...According to government filings, Oracle is one of the Ash*roft Group’s five clients that seek his help in selling data or software with security applications. Another client, Israel Aircraft Industries International, is competing with Seattle's Boeing Company to sell the government of South Korea a billion-dollar airborne radar system."

Wonder if Hillary and her supporters will do the same........they are already saying sanctuary cities are not the issue. San Francisco was never known as being a Holy place!

Biblical definition: the most sacred part of a religious building (as the part of a Christian church in which the altar is placed) (2) : the room in which general worship services are held (3) : a place (as a church or a temple) for worship


Is this how sanctuary cities and this administration see illegals that continue to break our laws.
