Quote from CaptainObvious:
"The president is going to explain why he thinks the American people are angry," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday morning.
Let me help you Mr. President. The reason the American people are so angry is that those that orchastrated and/or facilitated this global economic disaster continue to walk free. One could easily argue that had a group of terrorists done this much damage, we would be bombing the hell out of whatever country they were hiding in.
Millions have lost their jobs. Tens of millions are under employed and millions more losing everything they ever had. Hundreds of millions around the globe are suffering and yet those at the heart of this meltdown go on as if nothing has happened. These people need to be held accountable. At a minimum should be resigning their positions, and where justice requires should be imprisoned. Some of those on the list for prison would be:
Angelo Mozilo
Chuck Prince
Lewis Ranieri
Joseph Cassano
Dick Fuld
Kathleen Corbet
Stan O'Neal
Jimmy Cayne
Frank Raines
Herb Sandler and his wife
Phil Gramm
Chris Cox
Hank Paulson
To name a few.
Senate resignations should include Frank, Dodd and other usual suspects.
Presidents Clinton and G.W. Bush should be formally castigated at congressional hearings.
Until these things are done, there will be no peace, no credit given to you for anything otherwise accomplished. This is job #1.
