I resent this type of blame game being played by the current President and now our own Governor. Stop whining about the past and/or painting it out to be worse than it was. Stop being partisan. Just lead. By "criminal activities on Wall Street", liberals for the most part are referring in part to salaries and bonuses that are central to a healthy capitalistic economy. Granted, we can all name a handful of cases where "criminal activities" have been committed by Wall Street types (Madoff, etc). But large salaries, multi-million dollar bonuses and the like are not "criminal", or even close to it - rather, they are the result of successful companies in a captialistic system. This is another example of the Left trying to chip away at our free market, capitalistic foundation. (For the record, I'm the head of a 4 person household whose annual income is between $44-$50K/year ... so it's not like I'm one of the rich guys trying to defend my way of life ... but I am an American trying to defend capitalism.) Even at a time when the Governor should have been humble and non-partisan, he has to use Leftist talking points to take jabs at his political opponents.

This guy's gotta go. So, biblical flooding is not worth a special session, but a financial situation of his own making is? This guy’s gotta go.
