So tell us, just WHAT did Obama have to do with a law enacted in 1968?

Or did you just have an irresistible urge to blame him for something, anything?

More DOJ foolishness. Banks (and every other retail entity) place branches in the areas where they have the largest customer or potential customer base. It's like saying it's unfair a ski shop hasn't opened in Miami.

Putting banks where the money is? What a foolish concept.

Perhaps they placed branches based on market research, where there is more demand?
Or maybe because they don't want to sued for "lack of security" in a high-crime area when someone is hurt or killed in a robbery?

But yes, this is apparently O's Amerika - common sense, logic and economics out the window. It's all about the DOJ finding "racism" at every turn, and meddling to "fix" it.

It's his DOJ.

His cult doesn't hold him or his administration accountable for anything. Ever.

If the next administration pulls the same idiocy, they will receive the same criticism.

Selective enforcement as has been the hallmark of Your Dear Leader's criminal empire for the last 7 years.
