No way in hell is that going to happen. Wall St. funded Obama's campaign in 2008, now Wall St. is giving lots of cash to Romney. Wall St. owns Obama and Romney.

Yes. They should nationalize the banks. They can start by seizing his $5 million nest egg and sharing it with an underemployed art history major working at Peet's Coffee for tips.

The liberals are defintely getting desperate if they are starting threads based on presumptions that the president will be re-elected. Apparently, they havn't heard of this little formality that must take place called an election. You know - that annoying procedure that allows people to make a choice for someone other then your annointed monarch?

Here's a solution that I suppose you've never thought of:

Don't do business with banks.

Seems simple enough.

If enough people abandoned their banks, the problems banks have would fix themselves.

DOH!

he's been proving it in a very public way for 3 1/2 years now. But the left wing dopes seem to be invested in total failure. Millins voted for carter tto have a 2nd term too...so this is sort of myopic ignorance is not unheard of.

I would agree, but it's not exactly a "simple" solution. Sure, moving my savings and checking account to a local credit union was easy enough... but when I bought a house I went to a small local mortgage company, and they promptly sold my note to BofA. I had no say in the matter.
