Well if you estimate the Jewish population of the USA to be around 3% that means the chances roughly of there being just one Jew among these is around 6 or 7 to one, the chances of 2 around 54 to 1, the chances of 3 around 600 to one, the chances of 4, around 9,882 to one and <strong>the chances of all 5 about 326,128 to one</strong> (mathematical calculations done by myself, please correct if wrong).  Now I know it's totally anti-semitic for me to point this out but doesn't it suggest something is wrong? I wrote "all being equal" but clearly it's not, what we have here are Jews appointing other Jews to important positions, clearly not necessarily the best person for the job.  <strong>Supposing these were 5 Muslims, do you think someone would have noticed by now?</strong>   Things are about to go wrong big time in the USA, money supply is estimated to be increasing by 18% per annum, I wonder who the Americans will blame? The
5 members of theBoard of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States of America:

Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman 
Donald L. Kohn, Vice Chairman 
Kevin M. Warsh
Randall S. Kroszner 
Frederic S. Mishkin 

What a lovely group photograph they make, quite remarkable actually. They all share something else in common besides being the Board of Governors of the Federal reserve bank. They are all Jewish, what a remarkable coincidence. 

Bernanke http://www.nndb.com/people/447/000094165/

Now I know it’s totally anti-semitic for me to point this out but doesn’t it suggest something is wrong? I wrote “all being equal” but clearly it’s not, what we have here are Jews appointing other Jews to important positions, clearly not necessarily the best person for the job. 

Supposing these were 5 Muslims, do you think someone would have noticed by now?

Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Reid have worked very hard to stamp out the Republican Culture of corruption, but they have only had two years to do it and the roots go much deeper. Virtually everything that has gone wrong is the Republican's fault, we know that to be fact. They caused Katrina because the global warming is their fault. They caused the housing crisis because of their greed. Noe they have caused the mortgage and credit crisis because their rich friends in the mortgage business enticed poor folks into taking out mortgages they could not afford! For years the Democratic leaders urged restraint, but the rich Republicans sensed a quick profit and coerced the poor into signing their lives away! So yes Biscuit is right! It is Bush's fault first, then all the Republicans and Halliburtin's fault! Of course it is the fault of Bush, but there is plenty of Republican blame to go around! Speaker Pelosi and Sen.

Considering the GOP ran the congressional table for 12 years straight and had a monopoly on both executive and legislative branches for 6 of those years, it's a ocean sized leap to suggest the blame for the housing crash lies anywhere but at the republican doorstep. Further, state banking/insurance commissioners held their annual conference in DC in years 2003 and 2004, drafted a letter to the Whitehouse expression their deep concern over the wild west financing. Response from Whitehouse? Silence. Good luck pinning the housing scam on anyone but the GOP. You're gonna need it. Oh yea... Did I mention stripping the Glass Steagall Act by none other than Sen. Philbert Gramm? It was called the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Republican sponsored in a republican house and republican senate. Yeah.... good luck. ;) Gee wizz….
