That said, it is also totally wrong to say that the Reps would have done nothing. Look what they did under Bush — they threw even more money at the financial industry than the Obama administration did. They are all appeasers for the incompetent and corrupt financial industry.

That last sentence is impactful given the source… (I mean that in a good way–Rich displays a keen understanding of his own industry and isn’t afraid to call the bad participants out for what they are–crooks.)
Both sides of the aisle have given a pass to Wall Street and that shit needs to stop.
Coming to terms with the political reality of Obama’s administration has been painful for me–I really did want to drink the Kool Aid–but he’s really not done much in his two years. I am willing to give him a bit more time, but I am disappointed. And, no, Hell would have frozen over before I would have voted for McCain/Palin. Not because of their party affiliations, but because they would have been sooooo destructive for the country.
