The focus of this thread is totally misleading. Why are we putting the spotlight and raising our ire towards bit and almost-innocent characters? Obama, Clinton, Edwards, etc. were not the main architects of this whole Ponzi scheme? They are just highlighting the fact that there exists a HUGE PROBLEM now, and something has to be done about it. So far, there is a lot of dribble, jawboning, and yet, really, nothing is done yet, except the bailout to the enablers once AGAIN. The Democrats have nothing to do with the current bailout, either.
The OP should direct the flashlight to put the glaring focus towards those who were at the helm who steered this whole country into a cluster-fraud.
