Obama's Next Move in This Crisis Should Be...

…to announce that he will ask Ralph Nader to be his Secretary of Treasury and make Nader czar of the vast purge of Wall Street schemers we need.

Nader is the only prominent public figure who’s been predicting this disaster for years. He has no allegiance to the Wall Street greedheads who may well have destroyed the American economy. (And Obama should fire any advisor on his team with any ties to Wall Street, investment banks, other “culture of greed” people and institutions).

Not only does Nader know where the bodies are buried in this ruinous scandal, calliing on Nader may be the only way to prevent voters from the Democratic party from voting for Nader for President (thus costing Obama the election) out of revulsion over the way what was once the party of the working people has–like the GOP– been corrupted by its ties to big money.

Indeed it might be even better to appoint Nader Attorney General so he can find a way to throw the book at the bankers who brought us this disaster. Class action suits to seize their assets and sell them to pay off the mortgages of the foreclosed working class might be a start. Let them know what its like to trade their big houses for The Big House.
