To many criminals in elected office!

As long as folks keep thinking that their elected representatives can do what ever they want once they are elected, we will keep allowing them to commit these crimes against us while they are in office, and do nothing about it. Putting our foot down as American voter's is going to have no affect on these political thieves until their necks are under our feet when we stomp. American's need to put their foot down and stop this crap, put some of these too big to fail tyrants behind bars, or otherwise the crap will get so deep that it will be over our heads! We are getting awful close to that point now, when the rich and powerful can just break any laws they want and their buddies in wealth and power let them skate! Isn't that what Obama did when he pardoned all of the criminal banksters  Yes, and isn't it what Ford did for Nixon??? And look at the crimes Reagan got away with during the Iran Contra affair. None of them even lost their pensions for crimes we would probably be executed for! And it is still going on as we speak! They call it elite privilege.
 I would go so far as to bet that a powerful, wealthy, elected, politician could get away with what Bradley Manning is being tried for, or possibly never be tried at all and just get a Presidential pardon for a crime that might cost this man his life. Are these people that important that we just throw the law away and look askance at their crimes while we prosecute every one else, even whistle blower's trying to stop crime in government? Look at what happened in the Scooter Libby case? The guy was convicted by a jury of his peers and his buddies in high office said that it would just be to much of an inconvenience to his future, and his well being, as a political operative and hack. If this is not a definition of being put above the law then I do not know what is!!!
