More than 120 banks and financial institutions who took money from the $700 billion [[Financial Crisis of 2008|Troubled Assets Relief Program]] which then [[Senator Barack Obama]] voted for have failed to make their scheduled repayments. Five others failed altogether making it unlikely the [[U.S. Treasury]] will ever recover the money poured into those institutions. Wall Street banking giants '''Goldman Sachs''', '''JP Morgan''', '''Citigroup''' and '''Morgan Stanley''', which recieved $70 billion in '''[[bailout]]''' funds, are among the Top 20 largest donors<ref>http://edschultz.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=36796</ref> to President Obama's political campaigns.

Key administartion advisers [[Rahm Emanuel]], [[Larry Summers]], Peter Orzag, Christina Romer and James Jones all announced thier departures just before the abysmal performance of President Obama's record became public.  3,200,000 despairing workers have lost thier jobs since the President's economic stimulus became law. The [[Democrat]]ic controlled Congress acted with the assurance Unemployment would never reach above 7.8%.

The total number of lives affected by Unemployment since the [[110th Congress]] when the [[Recession]] began is well above the constant 15,000,000 unemployed reported. As roughly 2,000,000 newly unemployed enter the jobless ranks monthly, and another 2,000,000 finding jobs are rotated out, the cummulative effect means over 30 million people have directly suffered unemployment.
