This ringing endorsement of him kinda disgusts me, actually. Its everyones fault but the governments! I understand that WS fed off of it and there was a lot of irresponsibility going around, but who mandated and enabled all of this? Well, surely not our congress! No point in even investigating that! The man is a hack, plain and simple. Phil doesn't seem too concerned about the role that Freddie and Fannie played in all of this. This ringing endorsement of him kinda disgusts me, actually.

Individuals are responsible and have to be brought to some form of justice. Too many people are suffering in the USA and elsewhere around the world for this crisis to be ignored.

How blatantly egotistical and "unpatriotic". Well, let's just consider the state of the United States of America as a result of the selfish actions of these individuals and groups...teetering on finanical collapse? Wouldn't actions detrimental to the country's security be considered, in some quarters, as "treasonous"? Now, I realize some smart lawyers would be able to argue no such thing has ocurred, well since we are now practically owned by China and thus are at their "whim" what else would you call it?
