Promised Us a Rose Garden
(posted here one yaer ago today)

Our media has put up a new wall around Wall Street by not doing its number #1 job:
following the money, finding out whose getting what, detailing the conflicts of interest
and the latest theft that seems to be going on under the cover of a bailout
that puts billions into the coffers of the very people who should be investigated.

Obama has a momentous opportunity to do what he repeatedly
promised over the course of his campaign:bring actual change.

Rabin’s inner convictions continued to evolve after Oslo.
Between him and Arafat, mutual respect grew. Perhaps he would have arrived,
in his slow and cautious way, at the necessary mental change.
The assassin and his handlers must have been afraid of this . . .

Financial Crisis Due to “Crony Capitalism”
by
Mark Weisbrot
(posted here one year ago today0

Robert Rubin and his protégé Lawrence Summers, both Clinton-era treasury secretaries,
deserve a great deal of the blame for the radical deregulation of the financial industry
that has derailed the world economy. They and former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan
should perform rites of contrition and be kept away from the leadership of our nation.
