Obama and the K Street Set
,----[ Quote ]
| There is something uniquely depressing about the fact
| that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the
| Barack Obama "Hope" poster previously belonged to a pair
| of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington
| was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington, the
| place we learned to despise during the last
| administration.

Lobbyists As The New Celebrities? Cheering On Those Who Abuse The System
,----[ Quote ]
| As Copycense notes, it looks like DC lobbyists may be
| getting the celebrity treatment these days, similar to
| the hedge fund batch a few years ago. It's as if the
| press gleefully looks for those who abuse the system for
| greed to celebrate. What a shame.

Let Freedom Wane: The Fed's Role as Regulator and Obama's Failure to Reform
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. The Fed is in fact not a government institution, but
| owned by private and corporate banking interests. The
| failure of self-regulation and regulators who have been
| 'captured' by the corporations they regulate is one of
| the great lessons of this crisis.

GOLDMAN SACHS may be rolling in the dough these days, but it is dough from government handoutsânot from âfree-marketâ trading.
,----[ Quote ]
| So whatâs wrong with Goldman posting $3.44 billion in
| second-quarter profits, and so far earmarking $11.4
| billion in compensation for its employees? Whatâs wrong
| is that this is not âfree-marketâ earnings but an almost
| pure state subsidy.

Goldman Sachs & J.P. Morgan Quietly Buying Up the Media
,----[ Quote ]
| Every since the Corporations have bought up the media,
| the very idea of 'honest journalism' has been a joke in
| America.
|
| I grew up with the likes of Edward R. Murrow and Walter
| Cronkite - I KNOW what real and honest journalism is all
| about.
|
| The 'propaganda' corporate machine that rules the
| airwaves now, is nothing more than a tool to control the
| message/masses, and at all costs, whatever 'they' do
| 'they' will make certain that stories like the one on
| Sibel Edmonds (on the diary recommended list) never,
| ever see the light of day. God forbid, America should
| hear the 'truth' about America and England planning to
| divide up Iraq months prior to 9/11.
