Inside Job

Wonderful to see that Inside Job not only won the Oscar, but afforded the producers a great opportunity to remind us all that not a single Wall Street criminal from the financial crisis has spent a day in jail. As I said on earlier blogs, this is one of the great failures of Obama's administration and I can think of no way to defend it. He has failed to connect the legitimate rage at our economic collapse with the truest causes of it and now we are seeing unions of all things getting blamed and demonized. Maybe if we all see this movie with a few friends it will help change things a little bit.
