Somewhere someone or some group with many deep connections and lots of favors to call in is protecting this guy, and is having such success,
It would make sense. That Madoff a vile parasite on Jews would be protected by amoral Rogue Mossad agents who felt milking the "Left wing, peacenick American Jewish community" for a few more billions to support the Right Wing Extremists in Israelis justified "by any means necessary."
He's defrauded thousands of people for billions. He deserves no consideration, no extra comforts.
If you want him to cooperate, put him in a 3 x 6 jail cell with a couple of uptown homeboys to keep him company on these long cold NYC winter jail nights.
What I'd like to know is when is our very lapdog like media is going to take notice of this clear aberration in the carriage of justice.
This sort of coddling the criminal goes far far beyond anything I can recall for any sort of crime committed.
It's obscene.
It's a slap in the face of every fair minded American who thinks we have justice in this nation.
The last place this vile insult to the Jewish People should be is safe and snug as a bug in a rug in his 7million hi rise unit

If Obama ultimately turns out to be a successful president...
say as successful as Bill Clinton, not overwhelming, but solid, then the person most likely to follow him will be Michelle Obama.
This would happen in 2008 of course, again assuming all goes well and he sits for a full 8 years.
There are other types of complications, but I'm talking normalcy.
In the very UNLIKELY future where his presidency crashes and burns (very unlikely) Republicans still will not get the presidency back.
The USA for all our self-congratulations is the ONLY MAJOR power in the world who has NEVER EVER given the "real left" a try. We came the closest during the Depressions of the early 1900s and the 1930s. Both plays for power by socialists were foiled.
We'd finally give the left a try, because the consciousness of the nation (separate from the -people- and not dependent on the views of -individuals- but which is a collective memory all nations have that comes to fore during trying times)will remember this, and enough Americans will shed their fear of the left and vote that way.
It'd be an ugly battle though. Recalling the literally riotous times of the last times the serious left came close to claiming power, almost 100 years ago and longer.
In the worst crisis the extremist become more powerful than ever.
That means someone like Ron Paul on the Right Wing (if he's alive than Ron himself) vs. someone on the left who has yet to appear, but is so overwhelmingly charismatic that this person is able to defeat the Clinton/Obama team that be the ones relinquishing control.

SIT TIGHT - Obama is just giving the F/Right Wing enough rope to HANG themselves.
The smartest combatants know a true victory is one where your opponent defeats himself, minimizing the effort you have to make.
One of the best "tactics" to ensure that happens without YOU LOSING so much you only gain a Pyrrhic victory IS TO DEPRIVE THEM OF A CLEAR FOCUS OF ATTACK!
Obama is a hard core "liberal in regards to government policy"
Those on the left who feel "let down" are the ones who NEVER LISTENED TO WHAT HE SAID, because they were to dazzled by their OWN PROJECTION of what he must be liked based on the forever wrong notion that an African American is ALWAYS super liberal, of course he's NOT part of that tradition.
But we Americans we like to focus solely on color when trying to understand others.
Obama has been steeling himself for this confrontation all his life.
He's watched several times as "his side" went down to humiliating defeats by doing exactly what Glen and his ilk want him to do, storm the ramparts with torches and nooses and punish the clearly evil F/Right Wing as soon as he finishes taking his Oath.
Unlike so many of the "liberal/progressive" ideologues who he shares many beliefs, he knows no matter how wrong the F/Right Wing idiotology is and the horrific effects it had on this nation, such an attack would deliver victory to them just as they are on the precipice of permanent defeat.
To attack like the PROLIBERIVES want him to do would have been about as smart as the Brits. launching a cross channel attack During WWII right after Hitler turned his Attn. to the USSR.
They waited, because they KNEW he had made a grevious mistake, and would pay massively for doing that. In any case, his move to the East only saved them from their own defeat.
It did NOT deliver total victory to their side. They had to wait for him to hang himself with his own very bad decisions.
And that's where Obama is.
WAY TOO MANY AMERICANS were VOTING AGAINST RepubliTHUG idiocy rather than clearly for Obama.
Those voters that delivered victory to Obama could easily switch back IF OBAMA ACTS rashly immediately.
Obama wants to ensure "The MIDDLE THAT WINS ELECTIONS" finally falls clearly and permanently on the Proliberive side of the political fence. To ensure that happens will require time and patience as his "clear and obvious" efforts to "work with the F/Right Wing" flounder through their sabotage and intransigence.
As they continue along the McConnel, Boner(sic) road to political Oblivion Obama will make sure to point out using the Presidential Bully Pulpit how utterly wrong and UnAmerican they are -the way Bill Clinton should have done, but refused to do when he faced his nemisis Gingrich.
The big middle that decided this election by voting against Republicans will start to realize and change, and finally realize "who's on THEIR side."
The RepubliThug senators decrying American workers making too much money, but praising CEOs who make bank while letting their company fail was music to the ears of the Obama strategy team.
Yeah the RepubliTHUGs lost Big Time, but the "mindset" behind their wins has NOT disappeared.
That mindset cannot be changed by "force." It will change only when those that "still sympathize - the blue collar Reagan voters for example" watch as those they follow betray them over and over as Obama tries to do what is best for the nation and them.
Then the "enough moment" will come. The same thing we saw with the 2008 election as it applied to the RepubliTHUG party, BUT THAT HAS NOT yet happened to the "mentality" that allowed it to happen among so many everyday Americans.
All too many of us treat party affiliation like a "team allegiance" and support their side with "team spirit" rather than a political party whose loyalty is dependent on being in sync with their views.
If Texas is any indication, far more people are "liberal in thought" but have been convinced "liberal = pervert" and cannot bring themselves to support the agenda, because of that.
Those millions need to be REINTRODUCED to the TRUE meaning of Liberal, and the meaning of Progressive, before Obama can win this battle.
To attack now allows the RepuliTHUG Kleptocrats still office to use two political nukes without fear of retribution.
1.)They will tie him the mistakenly feared "naturally anti-American" socialist ideology
2.) Electing Obama has NOT nuetered race as a weapon. Should he stumble early on while fighting a bloody political battle with Republithugs, they will all to happily sway doubters with "he's not one of us" tactics.
When the time is right, and the rope tight around their neck, and held up high by their OWN HANDS (words actually) Then we'll see the African side of Obama (in the manner of Great AFrican leaders Mandela and the Khama family) He'll move clearly, decisively and without doubt to remove the last vestiges of the RepubliTHUG "worship the rich" "despise the working class" "lie to the middle class" "ship jobs overseas" kleptocratic idiotology out of its misery for generations to come.

The very Bi-Polar Governor Blagojevich of Illinois
It's only a matter of time before his diagnosis, either recently in the past, or due to his arrest becomes known.
He has the classic "look" of a Bipolar in a "manic/up/super-energy" state right now, and it explains his seeming inability to measure the risk from personal ruin with any sense of logic or reason.
Of course, for the most part he's been able to go beyond his mindset, because he seems to be one that is far more "up than down."
Which means he operates in 5th. gear while the best among us rarely exceed 3rd.
Something has triggered an escalation in his mood state sometime recently and this is the result one would see in a "hypomanic" individual when he is forced in to a true full-blown "bipolar - manic" state.

I keep reading comments on the Internet Asking: Can China bail us out?
Each time I read something like that it strikes me as so odd. There is no better example of how completely out of touch as a nation we are from what is happening, how we're viewed in the world now.
It speaks to the incredible presumptive nature of Americans regarding our role in the world to think to even ask this question. Wow.
Exactly what good for China would come from just "bailing the West out?"
Why is China supposed to care, if they continue to grow while we shrink?
The best answers are nothing good would come to China, and regardless of how we assume China will "do something" they will do nothing if they continue to grow economically, while we shrivel.
As a nation we've always been blind to the suffering of other countries, as long as we had what we wanted.
We were happy to work with the thieving regimes in Latin America, prop them up and keep the 1% in total power, while 99% starved as long as they promised to mortgage their entire national wealth for pennies on the dollar ensuring their supreme role as the super-wealthy kleptocratic class ruling all of Latin America at the expense of the rest of the people living there.
That's just one example.
They'll bail us out if it benefits them as much but probably not unless it benefits them much more than us.
As of now, the best thing for China to do is wait for everything to clearly hit bottom to get as much bang for their buck as they use their vast wealth to buy whatever they want in the West.
All those empty houses in the USA would sure do wonders to help resettle a few million loyal Chinese over here to help us rebuild - kind of like what happened during our industrial age, but rather than coming over as indentured servants, they'd be coming over as agents of the owners of vast amounts of American land and property.
Of course we can say no, and dwell in a long-time deep recession, and ultimately lose a decades long battle of attrition against a slowly rising China able to use the vast debt we owe them to suck the life out of our country any time we look threatening.
It will be our choice.
This has been made possible by the Iraq war.
It's amazing how few realize the reason why China is sitting on trillions.
The reason is GW Bush, starting with the first Dollar, has borrowed the entire cost of the war from the PR China.
China was and is still happy to continue this deal. For every dollar we borrow is more leverage over the USA.
As for Bush's reason... he has the rich man's view that when you owe so much to one bank, they cannot let you fail or you'll take them with you. In effect you own the bank as much as it owns you.
The question is whether or not China thinks that they can survive us trying, should we say no to being bought, and no to paying off their demands to have their debts fulfilled.
If they decide they can then they'll let us fall long, hard and fast, and pretend not to notice.
They'll be waiting eagerly to pick up the broken pieces and refashion them into a world with China on top, just like their economy does right now with our cast off electronic consumer items which the strip for parts, clean up and refashion into things to sell us again and again.
The last two wild cards the USA has are both extreme, and only one is held by the USA - our nuclear arsenal.
That will dissuade China from pushing too hard - just as it enabled Russia to survive the collapse of the USSR. If it hadn't been for those nukes, Several nations including China would have probably carved off big pieces of Russia for themselves.
Then the other non-American wild card is India.
Will India as the 2nd giant decide it needs the USA to counterbalance China. That's what we're hoping, but if they do, you can be sure that instead of Chinese being settled in all those empty houses it'll be Indians in the same roles the Chinese would fill that as agents of a superior foreign power sending their people to ensure their investments here are managed to extract maximum profit.
Gee amazing GW Bush in 8 short years has turned us from the greatest power in a unipolar world, into a nation that in another decade could resume the long ago discarded "colonial" role to either China or India. Hmmmm. Way to go George W.

The why of the Economic meltdown is pretty easy to understand
The financial quacks in their genius found a way to so far exceed "real production, real increases in value" to the point that they successfully decoupled "supply and demand."
There is NO greater example of this than the oil market. Where for a couple of years, the price kept rising and rising, without an eminent sign of a shortage.
The sole driving force was the gambling urge of the "investors" all betting the "future" price would go up, and their confidence all boosted by their manipulation of the "overnight" trades that "proved" that prices were going up, even though there were ample supplies. Tight does NOT equal shortage, and was there ever a time when the amount of crude pumped fell short of the demand. I don't think so.
Decoupling "supply and demand" meant they could basically go insane gambling fantasy notions of the future, and manipulate those who believed these market thieves at their word that their "efforts were the best way to channel capital into the most productive way." What a total line of bullshit. What's amazing is how many willingly believed this even though one of the key "most productive ways" was dramatic increases in executive pay for failing!
Of course, once they did breach this cardinal rule of economics, that "price must reflect on a basic level the REAL demand vs. a REAL supply" it was not going to be long before like Icarus they were going to come falling down and crash.
The question is what should be done.
In a general sense, so much of the current "financial gambling circuit" is rotted to the core, and that means it cannot be saved, thus the inevitable deep recession (but don't call it a depression.)
Before things can get better, the rot in the form of NO regulation, the rot in the form of rules designed to reward extreme short sightedness must be eviscerated.
In the place of those laws which legalized what past generations would call criminal should be a new system of regulation that recognizes one principal over all PROFIT FOR THE SAKE OF PROFIT IS GREED, and GREED IS NEVER GOOD.
Profit should be "defined" as the result of making something worthwhile, useful in some way (even as entertainment) that fills a want, desire need in the world.
Financial tools that exist solely to make money from money based on "guesses" on a future price without ever creating anything along the line should be eliminated (that does NOT mean traditional financial tools like Interest - Interest is a product of performing a "service" not gambling).
Honestly the German way is the best way, and should serve as the core of the rebuilding, but there are the Spanish who thanks to their smart decisions are avoiding the crisis. Their decisions should be used to learn and expanded on worldwide as well. An amalgam of the German/Spanish/Traditional Anglo investment rules is what's needed to ensure that the West doesn't end up at the bottom of the world economic spheres once the Chinese rise to the top.
No effort should be made to save the "chief gamblers" who did their best to hide their "pyramid schemes, shell games" under the guise of creative financial investment tools.
On an individual basis, no matter how long it takes, these thieves must be punished, brought down. Society must learn and teach itself that such hubris, selfishness and greed is evil.
It's ironic that we in the USA have had a President obsessed with simple black and white evil who was utterly blind to how evil his "kleptocratically run, gambling driven financial system" was.
Humans live too short lives to expect this lesson to be remembered beyond a generation or two.
It must be instilled in our educational texts, not as a historical footnote, but the punishment of these financial criminals must be put on par with Hitler. For in their own way they have probably caused as many if not more deaths, violence and destruction to the common man as he did, or any megalomaniac warmonger has (Bush I know).
Then on top of it, basic economic education must become mandatory in all AMERICAN schools. I imagine Europeans have always had some sort of basic instruction, but Americans have absolutely NONE. This ignorance is what made so many of my fellow Americans all to eager to believe the garbage being told them as gospel, financial truth.

Obama won 2 weeks ago. All that's left is the drama of the campaigns
Barack Obama has ALREADY WON the election. It was uncertain until McCain pulled the "campaign suspension" stunt, but when he did that, I had a gut reaction that it was over. I never recall a candidate for president doing anything similarly contrived and so empty vs. a vs. his stated reason. All too many Americans up to that point were still all too easily convinced that the lies Republicans tell were true. That stunt to me served as a wake-up call to them, not a "epiphany" moment, but subtle, sustained the kind you need to wake the "sleepwalkers" among us who having placed too much faith in the Republicans lost their ability to distinguish truth from reality until that moment. It was just so absurd.
So I just want to say ahead of time. Congratulations for winning. The next four weeks are just drama, necessary of course, but I know it's over, and Obama has won already. The only question is how big will he win? Will he actually win in the landslide B. Clinton predicts? I'm not sure, but I bet he comes close! :-)
