Formulating the great tee up via Bush Admin for Barak to give trillions of dollars away, is the Council on Foreign Relations. The initial bailout was never commented on by Cheney. In fact it was the Cheney/Bush presidency that created the notion of being against capitalism for its survival in order to give billions to those corporations that have the honor of being called "too big to fail." These were novel ideas at the time. The danger of this initial bail out was never commented on by what Rush Limbaugh calls "America loving Cheney." Further, in hindsight what would have been less costly in lives, dollars, and national security on all fronts than sending troops to abroad - enforcing immigration laws, including visa overstays, and background checks. This "American loving man" has never commented on the border and immigration laws and dangerously high deficits from the never ending printing of money to campaign contributors encroaching on the liberties of the law abiding citizen. Instead Cheney chooses to come out of the shadows just as Barak Obama's polling dips to its lowest point. Cheney knows he is a polarizing figure and more than a reminder of the failings of the Bush admin. What would be the point of coming out and criticizing Barak?! It is not for the conservatives to be convinced. They are too numb from being played by the Bush admin and leaders of the Republican party like McCain seemingly intentionally handing over power to the Democrats. So it seems, he has come out for those who supported Barak that are questioning his policies to react reflexively to the "Darth Vader" of politics and run back to Barak. Cheney a director of the Council on Foreign Relations, as is Soros and Yzaguirre (la Raza former c.e.o) is teeing it up for Obama's agenda once again.
I don't think the Council on Foreign Relations has a specific agenda other than aggrandizing wealth and power to those who join. It seems to offer a great meeting ground for politicians and corporations, other nations, and/or a powerful individual to "work on policies" that mutually benefit these parties. Campaign contributions going one way along with future promises of great jobs in exchange for policies that benefit the non-elected members. Remember Cheney as a senator with no real corporate experience did become c.e.o. of Halliburton once retired and only after trimming the military on Bush 1's cabinet. It is kind of like a matchmaker of sorts, the cfr. It seems that commissions could be made for these matches, or facilitators get appointments and other lucrative scraps, or perhaps it operates more like a whore house. The CFR provides its members the benefit of the elite media that are all to willing to write or pontificate on behalf of the success of these matches. Is this why the "Beltway Boys" confusingly championed amnesty on Fox News? It seems unlikely that a man of Cheney's experience would be a one issue man when it comes to the love of his nation. With this love wouldn't he have commented on other issues other than the reflexive issue of "torture"? Especially when these other issues have as much to do with the survival of our nation as the topic of "torture." Once again Cheney is teeing it up for the policies of fellow Council on Foreign Relations members who have much invested in Obama.
Geithners arrangements with the executive branch Bush/Bama seems to have been solidified at the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR calls this union a "task force," fancy/shmancy, stimulus/shmimulus, tarp/shmarp, ...
