This is important news, but it needs to be tied directly to ACORN. The Democratic Socialists spin doctors are working overtime with this one. Obama will take a hit for this one but it will be far from crippling. Don’t get me wrong I am not a fan of forced acceptance of Hegel’s philosophical dialectic, but the Obama media will never air this story. If they do air the story it will have David Axelrod’s major spin on it.
What is needed it substantial evidence which ties Obama to the SI, PES, and Chicago DSA. There are direct ties there to Howard Dean, John Podesta, Bernie Sanders and a host of others who were planning with SI and the PES and were later working with Obama. If anyone could get copies of the documents from the meetings with the PES in 2007, and 2008, there is most likely plenty of meat there to prove a solid conspiracy against the US. The events that took place including the fuel prices and the market fall, are all to nicely tied together to be coincidental. The timing of the events is to precise not to have been planned.
This article proves He is not concerned about the financial well being of Americas. What attorney in his right mind would sue knowing the clients that were represented would eventually experience financial failure?

“It could put the checking account on par with the prepaid card. It’s going to be more about competition from a marketing standpoint and a pricing standpoint: the two products will be more closely aligned in terms of how the pricing works,” said Gwenn Bezard, a research director at Aite Group LLC.

Put in an application for an Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme loan along with a comprehensive business plan and a detailed financial plan drawn up by one of the leading small business consultants in London SIX MONTHS ago. Natwest appeared very supportive and after a month said it was surprisingly rejected and agreed to raise this a higher level.
