This reminds me of The Tea Party that arose after the bank bailouts. Somehow the Republicans were able to twist that fury to their advantage and hang banks !BANKS! around the necks of Democrats. Banks have been the mainstay of the Republican Party since the beginning of time but we got painted as the party that saved their bacon.

As much as I liked Obama, he and Holder screwed up big time by not bringing charges against the banksters. Letting them all walk for the sake of campaign contributions was a colossal failure. We need to learn from that and pin this on the crooks and charlatans that own it.
