Past Eight Years

We have to get to hear from him one more time.  Quite a legacy, huh? 

Foreclosure Filings Up 81% In 2008

I wish golden parachutes caused some sort of horrible ass cancer.

Bank Of America To Get Billions More In Bailout Funds From Treasury

I hope they don't get it.  Almost 10 years with an MBNA Mastercard, zero problems.  BOA buys them, tells me they won't lower my interest rate, told me they'd rather lose my business than lower my 14.99% interest rate even a point...and I have a 700+ credit score.

Citigroup Breaks Up, "Financial Supermarket" Model Dead

If only Citi would completely crumble, I would dance a jig.  They wanted to raise our 9.99% fixed MasterCard to a 16% variable.  Card closed, customer lost.  Anyone still not sure how these idiots are all broke???  As Mom says, "Don't let the door hit you on your way out. 'Cause I don't want ass prints on my new door!"

Obama Would Spend Bailout Funds On Housing Crisis

The other $350,000,000,000 was thrown away on banks buying other banks, firing workers, putting the rest in their vaults, and going bankrupt anyway.  Screw the banks.

JP Morgan Profit Down 76%

My employer switched health insurance companies this year.  Guess where my HSA money's being transfered?  JP Morgan Chase.  Awesome.

It may be true that a lot of the financial problems are not directly the (current) President's fault, but the environment he and his buddies put into place pretty much guaranteed it.  Put the fox in the hen house, close the door, think happy thoughts?  You're not going to be having eggs for breakfast tomorrow...
