I think they're really touching a nerve," Sen. Bernie Sanders said Tuesday of protests on Wall Street that have inspired demonstrations from Burlington, Vt., to Los Angeles. "The nerve is that the average American understands that as a result of the greed and the recklessness and the illegal behavior on Wall Street, these guys plunged us into the horrendous recession that we're in right now." Even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke allowed that there was "excessive risk taking" by Wall Street when Sanders questioned him on Tuesday about the root causes of the recession and the concerns voiced by protesters. "They blame, with some justification, the financial sector with getting us into this mess," Bernanke told another member of the Joint Economic Committee. "I can't blame them," he added.

2. From now on, let's be accurate.

We are in a DEPRESSION. Maybe if we phrase it correctly it will not be glossed over as easily, especially by the MSM.

People do not comprehend a simple truth: REINSTATE THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE or the propagandists will always have their boot on the throat of America. It is not rocket scientist. If "we" allow anything but the TRUTH to determine the content of our "news" programs and do not allow dissent to be told on that same program, we will never hear the truth.

Seriously, He should be enjoying his body in a room somewhere. If a person acted this ineptly in any other job they'd be booted most swiftly.
