By Pam Martens: April 11, 2013
If President Obama is trying to make it clear that he reports to the 1 percent, not the average Americans who elected him, hes earning an A+ on his report card.
At 6:46 p.m. last evening, the White House sent out the Presidents schedule for today. One item on the agenda reads as follows: Later in the morning, the President will meet with members of the Financial Services Forum as part of the organizations daylong Spring Meeting. This meeting in the Roosevelt Room is closed press. There is no mention in this press announcement that the President will be meeting with the CEOs of the too-big-to-fail banks certainly a detail worthy of the publics attention.
Early this morning, the Wall Street Journals link on the front page of its web site to its story on the Presidents meet-up with members of the Financial Services Forum tells us the following: PAGE UNAVAILABLE The document you requested either no longer exists or is not currently available. Fortunately, Google has cached the article and from it we learn that Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase (whose firm is under an FBI investigation for losing $6.2 billion of depositors money in a derivatives trading scheme) is expected to meet with the President at the White House today as part of the Financial Services Forum. Also expected to attend is Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America.
At the same moment the President is meeting with the CEOs of these firms, an investigative hearing will be playing out in the U.S. Senates Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection, part of the Senate Banking Committee, on whether these same banks and others corrupted the process of a regulatory mandate to review their foreclosure files for evidence of fraud and abuse by directly paying and interacting with the consultants hired to do the work.

Orwellian:

I do wonder who tried to kill the story, I don't think it was just the WSJ.. even the white house said very little if you look at my story.
