Not 100%. Or rather, for the many ways that investment banking is 100% subsidized, how many ways is it not? This is a lame way of putting it, but what are the chances that trillion dollar bailouts for private banks round 2 is successful?

I have a whole bunch of good things to say about Obama, but he is a failure because he refuses to rally the people and take on the banks, take on corporate takeover of Washington, and take on unjust law like torture and drugs. For somebody who refuses to do what he should, Obama is pretty great. For somebody who believes in our system, Obama is great. But dressing your Camaro up to look like a Ferrari will never make it a Ferrari
He really does fail in those things that we want him to be fight for and succeed in those things that we expected him to.

Also, I am a fool for actually thinking good things about Obama. His policy propagates some of the most evil things in the world, and one call to his DoJ would fix a whole lot of injustice in my life. Even though I'm anti-corporatism and Ron Paul is a complete nutjob who would give the keys to the rich, I could actually vote for him because he might pick up the phone and tell them to stop prosecuting people for things like drugs or gambling. That's a pipedream though. Paul would be influenced to not do it one way or another. Tony Soprano had nothing on big business' racketeering of the government

:/ too true.
