FED OFFICIAL: Big banks are 'government-sponsored entities'
This is why Wall Street was bailed out instead of Main Street! They stole from the poor and gave to the rich!
Big banks are government-backed: Fed's Hoenig
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Big banks like Bank of America Corp and Citigroup Inc should be reclassified as government-sponsored entities and have their activities restricted, a senior Fed official said on Tuesday.
The 2008 bank bailouts at the height of the financial crisis and other implicit guarantees effectively make the largest U.S. banks government-guaranteed enterprises, like mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, said Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig.
"That's what they are," Hoenig said at the National Association of Attorneys General 2011 conference.
He said these lenders should be restricted to commercial banking activities, advocating a policy that existed for decades barring banks from engaging in investment banking activities.
"You're a public utility, for crying out loud," he said.

I could not stand by while this was happening to my kid or grandkid!
What’s wrong with Americans for allowing this to happen? How much are we willing to sacrifice to the DHS gods? What can’t a government do that is allowed to do this to us..what won’t a government do?

Trump doubles down on assault on Obama. Questions his birthplace, blames him for high oil prices, questions his religion…this is great!
Media and republicans have been mute on the issues. They are either in on the fraud, owned by those who masterminded the fraud, blackmailed by those who masterminded the fraud, backboneless, or incompetent.
Someone asked, why Trump didn’t speak up sooner…he wasn’t in a position of authority to do anything about it like congressmen are. He’s a real estate mogul.
Trump: Obama Is to Blame For High Oil Prices...
'I'm His Worst Nightmare'...
'I believe in God. I am Christian'...
Arizona governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner
The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposes AZ's new immigration laws.
Arizona 's Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected.
Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"

This raises more questions as to why republicans weren’t on this issue many moons ago!
The public is obviously interested, why didn’t they raise it before the election when it would have been much easier to resolve? He’s the sitting president now…who, in authority, is going to call him on it.
Trump can’t do anything about it but talk, they could have kept him from even being on the ballot!!!
Trump rides issue of Obama’s birth certificate
GOP poll puts him at No. 2
“Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? The fact is, if he wasn’t born in this country, he shouldn’t be the president of the United States,” Donald Trump, the billionaire developer, said in a CNN interview that aired Sunday. The Constitution requires that the president be a “natural-born citizen.” (Associated Press) Would-be 2012 Republican nominee Donald Trump is riding doubts about President Obama’s birth certificate to the front of the party’s presidential contender field, the latest sign that the long-standing fringe controversy is going mainstream.
The New York real estate magnate and reality show star, fresh off a Wall Street Journal poll that shows him tied for second among Republican voters as their choice for the presidential nominee, jumped back into the “birther” controversy Sunday.
“Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? The fact is, if he wasn’t born in this country, he shouldn’t be the president of the United States,” the billionaire developer said in a CNN interview that aired Sunday. The Constitution requires that the president be a “natural-born citizen.”
“It’s a very sad thing, because the people - the birthers - they got labeled and they got labeled so negatively and even the word ‘birther’ is a negative word. If you come out and … even question, the press goes wild. They get angry at the question,” he said.
Far from backing away, Mr. Trump seems to be embracing the birther controversy and relishing the confrontations with reporters. He has responded in print to critics and blitzed talk radio, morning shows and news programs to talk about birth certificates. Mr. Trump also has said he had sent private detectives to Hawaii to investigate the president’s birth.
Since Mr. Trump embraced the issue of Mr. Obama’s birth - or alternatively why he hasn’t released the state of Hawaii’s “long-form” birth certificate - he has gone from nowhere to the top tier of possible 2012 Republican candidates.
In the Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released last week, Mr. Trump and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are tied for second with 17 percent each among Republican primary voters behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 22 percent.
Pushing the birth issue may have helped Mr. Trump break out of the crowded field of potential 2012 standard-bearers, but it’s not something the White House is taking too seriously.
David Plouffe, Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign manager and a top adviser, called the spate of Trump comments and appearances a “sideshow.”
“There’s zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people,” he said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” taking a jab at Mr. Trump’s signature phrase on his reality show “The Apprentice.”
Who the hell is he?
The Questions Remain Unanswered
HOW HAS OBAMA BEEN ABLE TO HIDE SO MANY THINGS?
by David LaRocque, CDR, USNR (Ret.)
Are we about to find out where Obama was born, who his parents were, and what his original birth certificate looks like, among other things?
(Apr. 8, 2011) — The questions about the eligibility of the man who occupies the White House, and the strange way in which virtually all of the previously-accepted facts of this man’s life have dissolved into controversy, contradiction, confusion, dissembling, lies, misrepresentation, unanswered questions, missing documents, sealed documents, unaccounted time periods, irreconcilable financial discrepancies, forged documents, fraudulent Social Security numbers, unexplained financial support, false Selective Service registration, false statements on official documents, faked photographs, and serial broken campaign promises serve to highlight the astonishing fact that the American people know virtually nothing about the life history of Barack Hussein Obama.
Now the scars clearly visible on Obama’s head have raised a new and troubling question.
Has Barack Obama had brain surgery? And if he has, what was the reason for such surgery and how does it affect his suitability for high office?
If no American press outlet harbors any curiosity about this strange scar, about which there is no mention in any public information about Barack Hussein Obama, the foreign press has taken notice and is asking questions.
The following is quoted from an article published on April 8, 2011 in the U.K Mail On-Line titled “Mystery scars on Obama’s head prompt another question from conspiracy theorists – has the President had brain surgery?”
He has been plagued with questions and doubts concerning his background throughout his first term as President.
Questions like – is Barack Obama actually American? Is he a Muslim? Is he actually an alien from another planet? – have frequently been asked.
The next question circulating on the internet – has President Obama had brain surgery?
Internet blog sites, conspiracy theorists and forums are awash with rumours as to what those mystery scars on the president’s head are from.
In pictures, Obama appears to have a long scar which goes up the side of his head and over his crown. Some conspiracy theorists claim they are scars that you would see on someone who has had brain surgery. But without medical records (along with his school records and birth certificate) no one seems to be able to provide an answer as to the cause of the mystery scars.
Unfortunately, the absence of verifiable information about Barack’s Obama’s life history makes it impossible to answer these questions.
We do not know, with any degree of certainty, Barack Obama’s true nativity and country of origin, parentage, current citizenship status, legal name, medical history, academic/educational history, travel history, residence history, professional client history as a licensed attorney, the history behind actions taken by the Illinois State Bar resulting in the surrender of his license to practice law, legislative history as an Illinois state senator, and the true history of his self-admitted drug use.
We are not even certain that a strangely untimely yet extraordinarily well-written autobiography, of which he has claimed authorship and which many observers believe was responsible for his ability to become a credible presidential candidate in 2008, was actually written by Barack Obama.
In fact, a new book by well-known author Jack Cashill seems to have proven that Barack Obama is not the author of this book. Rather, it appears that the book was written by a self-professed violent Communist revolutionary and terrorist bomber named William Ayers. Yet Barack Obama denies that Bill Ayers is anything more to him than “just a guy in the neighborhood.”
What is unknown about this man Barack Hussein Obama is truly incredible. No American citizen could qualify for entrance into military service or for recruitment into any responsible position in business or in the professions without providing the information that is unknown about Barack Hussein Obama.
Yet the United States Congress has allowed this man, who waltzed through a presidential election marked by massive and unprecedented election fraud, and with no known and verifiable personal history, to be sworn in to the office of president without complying with its Constitutional duty to verify the qualifications of the individual presented to it by the Electoral College;
To move into the hallowed halls of the landmark house provided by the American people to its highest elected leader;
To take over as commander-in-chief of the world’s greatest and most powerful military force;
To commit these military forces to yet a third foreign conflict without Constitutional authority;
To have access to a fleet of luxurious aircraft to fly him and his favored friends and family anywhere in the world at his whim;
To assume the power to appoint unvetted and questionable individuals to positions of high authority and influence in government without Constitutional authority;
and to direct the affairs of government in such a way that the nation has incurred vast new fiscal deficits on a scale previously unimaginable.
The American people want to know when this national nightmare will end.
The courts have denied the American people the right to ask these questions, much less receive the answers they are demanding.
If the remedy is not in the law, then surely it must be in the Congress.
Where is that member of Congress who takes seriously his or her oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic”?
Where is that member of Congress whose conscience will no longer allow him or her to standby mute and ineffective while we watch our nation being destroyed in front of our eyes?
Where is that member of Congress with the simple courage, and the devotion to duty and country, of those honored heroes of Yorktown, Gettysburg, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, the Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh or Fallujah?
Why is our Congress, to a man, silent on this great and unprecedented Constitutional crisis which has engulfed the American nation?
I submit that Pastor James David Manning of New York City was speaking for the American people when he uttered these words in a recently posted video address:
We are asking a Constitutional question…there is nothing more important in America now than the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is a criminal, he is ineligible, we don’t have a president, we’ve had a usurper and a thief for the last two years and it must come to an end.
America …you must cast out this criminal, this Barack Hussein Obama, and all of those that have supported him must be put on trial before the American people…that we can turn the winds of justice and truth back upon the breezes of America, that sunshine might bless this nation again.
