The American Spectator : Who Owns Whom?

The American Spectator : Who Owns Whom?

Bestselling investigative reporter Charles Gasparino's latest tome Bought and Paid For: The Unholy Alliance Between Barack Obama and Wall Street commences not with a scene from the much-ballyhooed first one hundred days of the new Administration, but at a hush-hush 2007 pow-wow at Johnny's Half Shell in Washington, D.C. between then-Senator Barack Obama and executives from Wall Street's top firms -- Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns -- which went so swimmingly the only warm fuzzy it lacked was the ghost of Humphrey Bogart intoning, "Barry, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

TAS: What compelled you to write Bought and Paid For?

Charles Gasparino: The notion of Big Government and Big Wall Street colluding to do bad things is something I've covered for a long time. I've always been interested in the conflicts between public policy and finance. What I've seen over the years is this seemingly bizarre anomaly of how Wall Street, which is allegedly the epicenter of capitalism, in reality thrived on something that is very anti-capitalist, which is Big Government. Crony capitalism. And these guys aren't doing it just to make money on fees selling government bonds to finance the deficit or government programs. The people at the top have political beliefs that are strongly aligned with progressivism.

TAS: Reading your book I was surprised to learn how kindred a spirit the big players of Big Finance saw in Barack Obama, particularly at first. They weren't supporting him simply as a pragmatic, strategic move. David Axelrod joked about Obama having a "man crush" on JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and you write financial executives saw the future president as "a guy who could have easily worked at a big Wall Street law firm if he hadn't gone into community organizing first."

Gasparino: I think a lot of the country was projecting something onto Obama they wanted to see but maybe wasn't there. Here was one of the most far left politicians I have ever seen -- based on his record, based on his associations, everything. People forget Reverend Wright, aside from his racially charged language, taught liberation theology, which basically says the Bible is infused with Marxism. That's his spiritual mentor. And all these Wall Street guys were lining up to support him.

Election Law Center: An SOS roundup

Election Law Center: An SOS roundup

There is a lot of good news here, but a lot of the corrupt states remain corrupt.
It didn't matter in California, Dunn was, and is, a Democrat anyway. Just ask Florida.

The Republicans don't vet their candidates for character, they ask can they win the moderate vote, or loose entirely.
This is an eye opener election year. Will the "moderates" open their eyes, or just continue to blame someone else, either Bush, or Rino's posing as "Republicans."

We'll get em next time, thanks to the corrupt leadership of Resident Obama, Harry Reid, and clueless Nancy Pelosi.
The corrupt Three will education America, but it might take another 2 years to convince the blind.
Just pray they don't destroy the U.S. before the next election.

What compromise do you see? Dumb question.
We don't need compromise, we need leaders with real character, who love the real America, not hate it, as the corrupt Three characters above do.

Are you awake yet? Can you see yet?

Jefferson was right and so was Henry.

Our Justice Branch presents the greatest threat to individual freedom and liberty in America. Without strict adherence to the Constitution and principles of free-will within, there can be no personal or economic freedom and liberty.

But a nation, in which the judiciary rests all decisions upon the brilliant works of our founders, can be forever free and prosperous.

What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

What God has made free, let no man enslave.

It is not the Constitution that should be judged by the courts, but rather the courts that must be judged by the Constitution. In this country, the American people are the only rightful jury.

Here lies the big threat to the American People.

Editorial: DING-DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD - Galganov.com
The results of yesterday’s mid-term election are just about as satisfying as it gets, because FINALLY, the people have spoken.

But, it’s not all roses, because not all of the BAD POLITICAL ACTORS lost. And I still can’t understand why so many people still don’t get it and still vote for politicians who think they know better than the people who elect them.

I CAN understand how people who don’t work because they don’t want to work, or public service workers who are amongst the MOST privileged wage earners in the country will do anything to keep Liberal Democrats and BIG-SPENDER Republicans in office.

But, for the life of me, I can’t understand how people who do work, and people who WANT to work could ever vote for a Democrat or a BIG-SPENDER Republican, especially given how the Democrats under Obama, Reid and Pelosi have so wrecked America’s economy and the dreams America was built upon.

Does NO ONE who voted for a Democrat understand what the real economic consequences have been, and will continue to be with folks who spend other people’s money as if they won it in a lottery?

Telling a Democrat, or a BIG-SPENDER Republican to stop spending money like a drunken sailor on shore-leave, is like telling a lifelong JUNKIE to stop taking drugs when the drugs are his or hers simply for the taking.
Galganov doesn't pull any punches, he just calls a spade a spade.

The American Spectator : The Winner: Rush Limbaugh

The American Spectator : The Winner: Rush Limbaugh
This just about sums it up!

"I hope he fails."

With those famous four words, uttered January 16, 2009 -- only days before Barack Obama was to be inaugurated -- Rush Limbaugh drew a line in the sand....

Characteristically, Limbaugh was fearless in saying so -- plainly. Asked to submit a 400-word essay for the Wall Street Journal on his hopes for the new administration, he responded on the air:

Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things… See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, "Oh, you can't do that." Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it?

So I can answer it, four words, "I hope he fails." And that would be the most outrageous thing anybody in this climate could say. Shows you just how far gone we are. Well, I know, I know. I am the last man standing.
