The LA Times does its best to twist the truth for Obama’s sake. Talk about a truncated quote!

This testimony certainly underscores those accusations about Wall Street “fat cats” and greed. Although in this case rats leaving a sinking ship might be a more appropriate image—if you can picture rats carting off chests filled with booty as they … Continue reading →
