The ClosestA Liberal Comes to Patriotism These Days

While his boss is cheerleading our current financial crisis,
Biden calls paying higher taxes a patriotic act...
Is pulling the plug on a comatose quad on life-support patriotic as well?  Because that is what it would be like to our economy were they to raise taxes!
typical.  Since Dod and Barney Frank stalwarted Bush's attempts at financial reform, I'm not surprised they would run away.  

As a presidential candidate, Obama took second most amount of money from Freddie Mac/Fannie May and now has former heads of organization which got this disaster started on his election team.  This looks a trifle dodgy and smacks of corporate welfairism. Wasn't Obama meant to be whiter than white on campaign contributions? Some questions need to be asked. What were the two mortgage giants hoping for in return? Why did they switch from financing Republicans to Democrats as soon as the Republicans lost its majority in Congress? Why have they given money to the 4 most important Democrats for their business (Dodd chairs the Senate Banking committee)? What were they expecting in return?
