[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All this bloviating about Obama acting like Nixon is just silly. Frankly, I wish he would use some of the brass knuckles tactics of a JFK, LBJ or Nixon.

Like shut down every Federal contract, even post office, renovation in the gerrymandered House diistricts held by Teabagger Republicans. They want to cut government spending, show them some deep cuts.

Prosecute News Corp (parent of Fox News) for all the FCPA violations they committed in paying cops for news tips in the UK. Serious FCPA cases can cost big corporations into the 10-figures.

Audit every superpac masquerading as a "charitable" organization and their big donors. Have other federal agencies turn the microscope on them.

Audit the senior leadership and board of terror-abetting organizations like the NRA. Dawn raids to their homes looking for evidence of tax evasion would be a nice touch.

Pressure the insurance industry to require gun owners to pass an industry-mandated safety test and background check or lose their homeowners/liability policies.

Use the bank regulators and the antitrust agencies to break up the 'too big to fail' banks and bring some marqee prosecutions of Wal Stret crooks responsible for the financial crisis while there's still time.

That would be a start. :0[/quote]

Yes!  It is starting to happen already.  Sheldon Adelson's company, Las Vegas Sands disclosed in an SEC filing that it is likely they violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in connection with their gaming business in Chima and Macau.  Federal investigations are ongoing.  Adelson is the right-wing businessman who kept the Gingrich campaign afloat forever and then bankrolled various GOP-supporting superpacs in the fall.  Now it's clear why he was so desperate to elect a friendlier administration in 2012, one which would have goine easier on his business empire and its misdeeds.
