Wall Street is Blackmailing US Congress Again!

Timothy Geithner says that Wall Street markets will plummet if Congress does not confirm Ben Bernanke.

I am sick of Wall Street threatening to plummet whenever they want their way. Wall Street needs to go ahead and plummet and the US Congress needs to clean house and confirm a Federal Reserve Chair who is competent and can do the job in the public interest (not the Wall Street Interest).

Ben Bernanke was asleep at the wheel and did NOT see the financial crisis coming. We don't need a Federal Reserve Chair who prefers back room deals to sunlight. Ben Bernanke has failed on all counts and he is leading the cover up to prevent the US Congress and the American people from knowing where our money went.

Why Bernanke is even under consideration for another term raises the question of who remains in our federal government and Senate who is not captive to the Wall Street special interests?

Our Senators--Webb and Warner--need to decide of they are going to represent Virgnians or become Wall Street Waterboys.

Congressional Cover Up

Sen Harry Reid and Sen John Rockefeller are the Dems leading the charge for the Bush Cheney cabal to grant retroactive immunity to cover-up the numerous examples of illegal wireless surveillance that will be exposed if the lawsuits are continued in court.

Unfortunately, Sen Jim Webb blinked and backed down...passing this ball of wax to Rep John Conyers, Rep Silvestre Reyes and Sen Patrick Leahy to do what they can to prevent this Senate version from being approved by the House. The utterly contemptible Sen John Rockefeller an alleged Democrat from West VA has joined forces with the Bush/Cheney faction to continue to get this legislation rammed through Congress. How much is Sen John Rockefeller operating due to receiving LOTS of telecommunications money and how much is this Sen Rockefeller protecting himself from future liability? Has to make one wonder if Sen John Rockefeller and/or Sen Harry Reid were in on the illegal wireless surveillance program long before other congressional Dems even knew it was occurring?

Hopefully the lawsuits will result in valuable information coming out into the public forum.
