California Councilman emails racist Obama Jokes among his staff. Please up-vote. This guy must face the consequences.

The huge bonuses at Goldman Sachs "show that by rescuing the financial system without reforming it, Washington has done nothing to protect us from a new crisis, and, in fact, has made another crisis more likely."

Obama: "Yes, if you’re African American, the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are higher. ... That’s not a reason to get bad grades. That’s not a reason to cut class. That’s not a reason to give up on your education and drop out of school." [video]

"Less than a year after Wall Street takes $1 trillion in bailouts, Bank of America posts profits of $2.4 billion. Citigroup posts profits of $3 billion. Goldman Sachs posts profits of $3.4 billion and promises bonuses of over $1 million per employee. This is pure theft from the American taxpayer"
