Just finished Harry Markopolos's book 'No One Would Listen', he's the Maddoff whistleblower if you don't recall the name. He was on to the Madoff Ponzi scheme going back to the late 1990's. He approached the SEC (several times) with his well presented & documented case pointing out the numerous red flag warnings that were popping up time & time again when it came to Madoff. The SEC barely gave him the time of day, they weren't really interested. Even the Wall Street Journal, although expressing interest, never ran with the story. Markopolos told the WSJ writer he was dealing with ... what I'm handing you could get you a Pulitzer. Eventually Madoff's Ponzi scheme collapsed on itself and he was outed. Thousands of investors lost billions of dollars.
What I see with Obama is much the same situation Markopolos experienced with trying to out Madoff early on, before he did so much damage; no one wants to go there ... people refuse to see the red flags ... they have their head stuck in the sand. Obama is the political version of Madoff.

Credit white guilt,a DBM liberal press and Americans’ lust for “fair play”(no blacks ever elected—it was his time) to the election of zero as well as other factors. and of course its all backfired.
