Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, who served as Speaker of the House and is now head of the House minority, is once again spending her Christmas at the exotic Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu in Kona on the island of Hawaii. Pelosi reportedly plans to spend her Christmas Eve at midnight mass in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Kailua-Kona. Pelosi spent the last two Christmas holidays in Kona at the same hotel in an elaborate suite that rents for $10,000 a night.

I haven't heard any Occupy morons or their media proponents complaining about the money being spent by Hussein and Pelosi, members of the 1%, when there are so many people out of work.

And you won't either. The organizers of this know full well who's keeping it going (Soros). and the people you mentioned are all bought and paid for directly or indirectly by him.

I've always maintained that no matter how corrupt a corporate CEO may be, I have a choice whether or not to do business with him. Not so with these gubment leeches.

Pelosi’s paying $10,000 a night?

Looks like Pelosi’s got plans——probably sitting on legislation so that she can illegally use her office to cash in.......like she did w/ the lucrative Visa IPO deal.

Notice how the Congress always seems to work in slow motion-—holding hearing after hearing-—and still nothing gets done. They perpetuate the legend that they are a “deliberative body.”

Now we know why.......they are conspiring to collude to get inside info to profit themselves.

Nancy Pelosi’s income soared while she was majority speaker-—she had access to major investment opportunities-—including the coveted Visa IPO-—when she controlled the timing of banking legislation.

I guess the good Lord decided that the church caving in on her was not punishment enough. And I’m guessing that Pelousi is preparing for warmer - MUCH warmer - climates.

LOL...yeah, right. And expose them all? GOP, DNC—there’s no difference. It’s a scam.

Note to Pubbie caucus go-ers in Iowa: Should any of the Occupy types show up at your caucuses to try to raise heck, take copies of this article to shove under their noses. Take some of the ones about Moochelle’s lunatic spending as well. And one more idea: Ask them why the heck they ain’t rhymes-with-witching about Barry’s ties to companies like Government Sachs, GE, and Bertelsmann....

Behind The Real Size of the Bailout; A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street
SOURCE motherjones.com
Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billion—the size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see our chart at web site. Below, a guide to the pieces of the puzzle:

Treasury Department bailout programs
(Remember that Obama's Treasury Dept was controlled by his then-COS Rahm Emanuel---a G/S lobbyist in the WH)

Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].

Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].

TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury has made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.

Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury has bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."

GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---.

Pelosi is being escorted by local police during her last two holiday visits to Hawaii Island at a cost of $34,000 to local taxpayers.

Obama’s trip to the island of Oahu has proved much pricier to state and federal taxpayers.

In a Hawaii Reporter story published last week, the total cost (based on what is known) for a 17-day round trip vacation to Hawaii for the President and his family and staff and security is an estimated $4,113,038.

That includes $3,629,622 for separate travel for the president and his family, $151,200 for housing for security, $72,216 for staff to stay in one of Hawaii’s most luxurious resorts, the Moana Surfrider in Waikiki, and local police protection and ambulance detail for $260,000.

$21 milliom MF collateral was found in JP Morgan bank-——MF could spend some of it, a judge said-—even though it belongs to creditors.
