Waters issued a defiant statement in response to the committee's decision, vowing to take the matter to a public trial. Congresswoman Waters' recorded comments on other representatives' previous errors should prove remarkably tasty fare for those with an appreciation for the ironic and the darkly just. "Sauce for the goose" indeed...

How many black banks are in her district?
How many black banks are there to invest in her district.
How many black banks are there to invest in the USA.
HENRY PAULSON served as CEO of what BANK, and he is in charge
of the Whole bailout system which saved what bank, to the tune
of how much.
So 12 million may be attributed to Maxine Water's pet bank.
And ?? billion may be attributed to Henry Paulson's former bank.
At least Demorcrats are trying to clean up Washington and are not afraid to go after their own. Bottom line right is right and wrong is wrong. At least Demorcrats are trying to bring moral, ethical, integrity, and high standards back. Unlike Republicans who stand behind any crookedness in your party, ignore any coruption the their people do, claiming to be the Christian conservative Right (In the Name of Jesus) and have people like (Mark Stanford) and so many more scandels that have rocked this nation. But have the BLATENT NERVE to think that people want you to be the party of the future. WoW, I love Hyprocrits! Democrats on the hill, congradulations and keep on standing for whats right because, in the end that will surely win and America will begin to be the country that the rest of the world loves and God smiles on again. Good for those who will not put up with unethical behavior even though some of it is from your own party. ITS CALLED TAKING RESPONSIBILITY!
My organization is watching all who take the front row and begin to do whats right in America. Democrats you may have more support in the fall then you think. Especially from this organization the houses members over 65,000. We need ethical people to stand up. We will be watching.
God Bless!
They suddenly get religion on their death bed LOL. they didn't risk a vote when they needed their majority now they make a fig leaf to hide behind by taking out Rangel and Waters. why does it take 18 months to investigate the allegations?
The answer......political expediency.
Another example of the "liberal press" spattering innuendo all across the land in regards to democrats. Think about the year long reporting of clintons misearable affair and the slight blip of Larry the Bathroom guy or tom delays absolutely evil support of South Pacific Sweat Shops and enron ties. Didn't hear about that? That's the liberal press in action. If it crosses the republican party it gets pulled after an hour. You have to be really fast.

Plus Franklin Raines was doing an out standing job. Once the failure started and all the infomation was known Franklin Raines had received millions of dollar and Water's husband was CEO/President of the one of the bank that collapse due to the failure of the housing market. She just as much of a crook as Dodd and Franks.

They've been pressuring banks behind the scenes to make loans to poor and minority types who don't pay back the money, then bail out the banks with Fanny and Freddy (government) money. (Janet Reno stepped up the process in 1998 under Clinton.) Then Obama has the "audacity of hope" to tell voters the problem was "too little regulation and too much wall street greed". Unfortunately for liberals, the record shows it was too many regulations forcing charity by banks (at the expense of taxpayers) that led to the housing crises, and the recent bank regulation bill does NOTHING to alter Fanny Mae or Freddy Mac. That's change we can NOT believe in.
August 02 2010 at 9:55 PM Report abuse Permalink +93 rate up rate down ReplyDo yourself a favor and dig deeper into the numbers here.
Paulson & Geithner's banks got how much money.
AIG got how much money.
"Charity" by banks.
You compare Millions to Billions.
A million is 1/1000 of a billion, do the math.
De-regulation hit the banking sector in 1986. Prior to that
they had specifics they could not do, since, it has gone to
crap. The partisanshp is NOT helping the USA. Unless we
figure out how to restore the world market's faith in the
dollar, we have issues heading our way trumping anything we
have seen.
She is as guilty as any of the Criminals {opps, politician or is that prostitute!!} in Washington!!! The punishment for her crime will unfortunately most likely not be much and that is a disusting abuse of power!!!! Hey Pelosi, how about playing the pied piper and lead all the rats out of the swamp along with yourself!!!!
