Problems With BOA!
It seems that House lawmakers are getting a little sick and tired of deals being made by the federal government. And the main deal that their sick over is the deal that was forced onto Bank of America Corp. Bank of America was forced to sick to the deal to purchase Merrill Lynch, even though Merrill was losing billions. And on top of BOA being forced to buying Merrill, it cost us, taxpayers almost $20 billions to offset the lose that BOA took on.
Now Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis has testified that the U.S federal government threatened to remove management if the deal failed. The House lawmakers are looking into why former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke forced Lewis. My guess to why they forced him was to save their own money. Lets not forget that Paulson was CEO of Goldman Sachs, which was in just as much trouble as Merrill was. So you can see that he knew a lot of people on Wall Street. I truly hope if there was something fishy going on that they all get caught and spend a little time in jail. The U.S government has played with our money long enough.
Guantanamo Bay!
The U.S. are bringing in the Guantanamo Bay detainee’s one by one. I say this because the Justice Department just flow in Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Ghailani to face trial. This is the guy that took part in the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. He also took part in the murdering of 224 people resulting from the bombings. This is a bad move by the Justice Department. This is all part of President Obama’s plan in getting the Guantanamo Bay camp shut down. He’s testing us, Obama is. He want’s to see what happens to his rating for allow this transfer. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio said it best. He stated “the first step in the Democrats’ plan to import terrorists into America,” which he is 100 percent right. I sure hope the American people put their feet down and call for President Obama to stop this. We fight to keep our land safe, now we’re bringing these really bad people to our land on our dime, what’s wrong with this?
Justice Department!
The U.S Justice Department has ruined another persons life. That life this time is former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. Do you all remember when the Justice Department had convicted him on seven felony counts of lying on Senate financial disclosure forms to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts, I do. At the time this story was all over the internet. Now the Justice Department wants to have the case and conviction tossed out. The Justice Department had come across notes by the prosecutors who where handling the case. To their surprise they found a lot of misconduct and with holding of information. They found notes that suggested that the star witness for the prosecution was even lying. This is a case of clear injustice, and should be made right ASAP. Stevens career is over, they can’t change that, unless he runs again. Getting re-elected good happen because even when he was found guilty he still almost won for another term. He has severed the state of Alaska since 1968, which he was the longest serving Republican senator. I sure hope things are made right very soon for this man. And great job for the Justice Department for coming out with this information, they could have covered it up like they do everything else. I also hope those prosecutors never practice law again.
Dropping New Name!
The owners of the “Freedom Tower” are going to market the building by it’s old name “One World Trade Center.” They have chosen to do this because their having trouble getting the building rented out. The biggest reason why the building isn’t getting rented out is because businesses are afraid of another attack. I was reading that even The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have admitted that their own workers do not want to return to the location. The reality of this building coming under attack again is very possible. But will it happen is anyone’s guess. The thing that makes this name change so sad is that this is what the terrorist wanted, us to be afraid. We need to not be afraid anymore and stand up to this fear. At this point they don’t even need to attack us again. As long as they know we’re afraid they win. So let’s stop being so afraid of these terrorist and keep the name “Freedom Tower” intact. The family members of the almost 3,000 people killed that day deserve it. Who cares about getting the building rented so fast, it will get rented. So I say do the right thing and leave the name set at “Freedom Tower.”
