Spare Us the Lecture, Mr. President

by Jason Bradley

For a man who once said “typical white person” during a radio interview to describe his grandmother’s actions toward a black man who kept bugging her at a bus stop, his words of advice to Perry seem comical. Or his overt disdain for middle-America and their archaic tendencies to “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”

“I certainly think threatening the Fed chairman is not a good idea,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

“When you are president or running for president, you have to think about your words,” Carney said in Iowa, where Obama was on a campaign-style bus tour.

I also distinctly remember President Obama telling his buddies to bring a gun if they (the opposition) bring a knife to the fight, and to go out and “get in people’s faces.” What about when he told a crowd of Mexican and Latino voters that they should work with him so that they both could “punish their enemies” (again the opposition).

However one views Perry’s comments toward the Fed Chairman is their concern. In fact, a fellow Texan, and GOP colleague, disagreed with his “treasonous” comment. Karl Rove said Perry made a mistake and his remark was not presidential. I’m sure you will hear many more comments like that. I suspect he has already received several phone calls from concerned supporters telling him to be more selective with his language.

As Yerushalmi says in the interview, “So here’s what we find out in the midst of discovery when we depose the Treasury Department’s deponent and the Fed and get documents, here’s what we’ve learned: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time that it structured the debt that it was going to give AIG insisted that not only did it get the debt, not only would it get principal and interest payments and collateral for that, it wanted 80% of AIG, precisely 77.9% of the shares and the voting rights.  But the Federal Reserve Bank and Geithner knew that it was illegal for the Fed system whether there’s a Fed or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to own that, so what did they do….”
