The big conservatives have a blind eye to these crooks, so boxed in by ideology that law breaking being so obvious is ignored. That gives the Dems leeway to play both sides, populist rants about wealth, millions in contributions from shady people such as Jim Cramer and other GS alum.
I have to say that there is something good about the Obama administration that at least Chris "see-no-evil" Cox is no longer with the SEC and maybe some heads will be cracked.
