Just about everything that in any way comes from guilty white liberals and is in
any way connected to "public policy" is bad news...

and their messiah president.

Nope. It remains to be seen - if this is one or two banks attempting to get out
from under the Fed's control for some iffy reason, then Obama (and Timmy) are
right to keep them on a short leash.

The banks are anxious to return their bailout money for a number
of reasons not the least of which is the stigma and the public
disgust. They also want to fly their private jets to their
corporate retreats in the Bahamas without having a TV crew waiting
for them at the airport. They would rather continue business
pretty much as usual even if that means existing as zombies. Even
zombie banks can pay some pretty nice salaries for the lords of
high finance.

Ah...thank you, Ken Greenspan...

Obama's problem is he has to have these creeps on board to free
up the credit markets while at the same time pretending to be
disgusted with them to satisfy the lynch mob. It's a very tough
tightrope he has to walk.

Aw, poor baby...is THAT his problem...?

And you misspelled Tee-hee in the Subject: header.

Yeah, right...

There's little difference between you and beancounter. If there's
any hint of news that might prove embarrassing to Obama's nascent
presidency you're smirking all over it in a New York nanosecond.

Actually, this didn't nor could have it originated with Obama (albeit he may or
may not be taking advantage of the instant situation). The immediate TARP
crapola originated under Bush and those in Congress prior to the last election
(albeit the current Congress is no prize). For his part, Bush should have
****canned Greenspan about 3 seconds after his swearing-in, but he then, like
Obama now, believed what he was told - neither one has the slightest clue as to
how the real world works. IAC, if you subscribe to the "it's all the POTUS'
fault (or to their credit)" er, skool of ekonomyical thangamabobs - it began
with Washington and continued through the present.
