The same banks and other interests that buy off Republicans also buy off Democrats. Until informed voters come out in mass, little will change.
That's more or less the point of the thread. We understand that to their eternal frustration it's still one man one vote; that there are 99% of us and 1% of them; that it's in their best interests to keep us divided and squabbling over meaningless stuff (and they spend billions to keep that division good and deep).

So now what?

Did Michael Moore actually pin the Federal Reserve as the real cause and orchestrator of all our country's financial problems, or would that just fly over the heads of 99% of his audience. It easier to blame Citigroup rather than Ben Bernanke or Tim Geithner, since the latter two are approved for either a nomination or re-appointment by his hero.

Go see it and find out, or read some discussions of its content. What do you mean, "his hero"?

I dont understand what you mean, "it's easier to blame Citigroup".

The Federal Reserve and the banking system itself is at the core of our problems...

I believe Moore supported Obama....the guy who is kowtowing to the banksters.

It's working fine, for you and for everyone else. We're in recovery, though you're told not to believe that and you're warned away from daring to go learn about it on your own. You're kept in your pen by whatever means necessary.

In his movie Michael Moore doesnt at all glorify Obama and he does point out that the banks got away with murder.

The valuable thing about Obama isnt Obama himself, it *is* the "Hope and Change" that you all -- cruelly -- have been trained to snicker at and discount. But you all felt it and showed you felt it (for your own weirdo reasons, but) here. The left laughs at that scene, calls it real Messiah worship. But cheap laughs at each other's expense are divisive and wrong.

Fun, but divisive and wrong.

What does Palin have to do with this conversation? She wasn't even a presidential candidate and the election is almost one year ago.

Pls explain what you mean about the Federal Reserve.

The banking system needs regulation, glad you admit that.

Obama's not kowtowing to banksters more than he's had to on a practical level. Did you happen to notice the plunge in the market when he was elected? Why do you think that was?
