Its public knowledge--we've been hearing the 2/3 alibi for nigh on 22 months now. And of course the save-the-monied interest started much earlier--with the Dumbos headed by Obama lining up behind the Bush- Paulson bailout and the FISB "mark to whatever you want" swindle that has kept the insolvent banks afloat on their sea of fraudulent (aka "toxic") assets.

One must be (or pretend to be) incredibly credulous to believe that any President's *stated* policies have any correspondence to his real ones. "Honest" Abe Lincoln stated that his policy was *not* to end slavery. In November 1860 did anyone in the (incipiently) Confederate South believe him? By 1862 did anybody in the world?
