I posted about the dangers of NOT doing that, and not prosecuting the crimes of Wall St. and the Bush Admin. NOW it's a little late to be starting - NOW that the shit is hitting the fan. The danger, as I tried to explain it way back when, is that these festering boils of criminality just gather their strength for a comeback if they are left unlanced. It doesn't matter if they're down. It doesn't matter if they're discredited. It doesn't matter if you think "well, they must have learned their lesson." They never give up. NEVER. Meanwhile you have all these colossal problems created by the conversion of the economy to a giant fraud scheme, and from the conversion of the republic into a military empire. You have to deal with those effects. Unless you call a halt to these crimes, which are the causes of those diseased effects, from Day One of your new Administration, you will become part of the coverup. You will become part of their comeback - even though that comeback may involve or envision removing you from power. You have a window of opportunity to tell the people HOW WE GOT HERE, and to begin prosecuting the culpable parties. But if you don't jump through that window IMMEDIATELY it will soon be too late. The guilty who've escaped jail or criticism begin to swiftly reassert their rank within society. They will set their plans in motion for their counterrevolution even though you have not brought any revolution. And if you then decide you must oppose these rich criminals, and you criticize them and begin legal and political campaign against their power and influence, the people will just wonder why you think you can reverse yourself. They will wonder why you are NOW telling them there's a fox in the henhouse, now that YOU are the one in trouble politically. They will silently ask themselves, if this is so, how come you didn't get right on it from the start and tell us about the great crimes that have been committed and the huge clean up that must be undertaken to make the government work for the people again? Yesterday you were talking about how these folks were the job creators, not the government, etc...
Obama missed his window, and he deliberately shut it down in the interests of "bipartisanship" and "looking ahead" and "working together" - and all the other puke-worthy excuses for political cowardice and for restoring the Reagan Regime that fucked this country up for thirty years. It was the biggest wasted opportunity I've ever witnessed. Now he has to live with the consequences of that, as we all will.
