    True, appropriate and easy to blame, yet difficult to prosecute apparently. Especially when they all have their hands deep in every President and Congressman's pockets.

    "Zero Accountability": Glenn Greenwald on Obama's Refusal to Prosecute Wall Street Crimes


    Four years after the 2008 economic crisis, not a single top Wall Street executive has gone to jail. "These executives knew that they could take these huge risks and even break laws and pay no real price, and that’s what happened," says Glenn Greenwald, author of "With Liberty and Justice For Some: How the Law is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful," and a blogger for Salon. "It’s not just a travesty of justice that we haven’t punished them for past transgressions. The real danger is that we’re continuing to send the signal to the world’s most powerful financial actors that they don’t have any fear of criminal accountability when they commit these obvious crimes."

    I do love the "Obama didn't prosecute them", blah blah statements. I'm no Obama lover, but it isn't like Romney would/will do any different. If anything his billionaire bank account is even more in bed with these guys.

    I agree that neither side would do anything, their pockets are too laden with bankers' interests to bite the hand that feeds them.

    I just think that more people expect(ed) Obama to do something given his Democrat "for the People" image.

    Yep. Both sides are bought and sold, and neither gives a shit about the citizenry...
