He should know. He’s been handing out the pitchforks.
President Obama also apparently warned bankers NOT to pay back the TARP money too soon. WHY?!?
JPMorgan’s Dimon spoke first. He began by complimenting the president on the economic team he’d assembled. And he said his industry needs to explain more directly to the American people that the economic recovery plans are already working. Dimon also insisted that he’d like to give the government’s TARP money back as soon as practical, and asked the president to “streamline” that process.
But Obama didn’t like that idea arguing that the system still needs government capital.
Pay it back now! ASAP. The banks that can’t pay it back should face a Teaparty boycott that flushes them down the toilet. Well…we can dream.

We now have a Sopranos government with President 666 and his lovely bridge Lt Whorf.
Did Countrywide finance the house in the background?
We have a Sopranos government, which will, in turn, create a Sopranos economy: cash in envelopes under the table, barter, in-the-front-and-out-the-back transactions, “car trunk sales,” and lots and lots and lots of tax evasion.
My God that image is magnificent. (Now animate them, and put the “Country Corn Flakes” tune in the background.)
…or “Green Acres”. Green Acres is also acceptable.

it speaks for itself. gp
Somebody better check as to whether any of the $5B in Stimulus money went to ACORN to buy pitchforks. A socialist takeover of the economy is simple if you (1) first create a problem by government interference and then (2) solve the problem by more government interference.
It’s good they put the Constitution on a word processor. The liberals are making full use of that feature. I mean, when they take a break from photoshop-ing history.
The Reid photo’s pretty good, but that’s an atypically complimentary photo of Pelosi. It actually detracts from Grant Wood’s original impression in American Gothic.

go ahead: many of us have been in uniform and in war and we know you are just Rush(ing) to mouth off and play macho…
If the government wont take the money back, then put it in trust, hopefully an irrevocable one. Then let the people know that the government wont take the money. This should cause a sudden reversal. Don’t let bullies get away with it, ever.

Thanks for ruining my day. I was going to say, “how did we fall so fast?” But then I realized it wasn’t fast but rather a long slow rot. Regardless, it still seems like we just woke up one day and all that had was gone.
I think the President might worry about what’s the only thing between him and the pitchforks.
The reason he doesn’t want them to pay it back is simple: then he wouldn’t have control over the banks.

If he could, Grant Wood would punch you in the face for putting those 2 asshats on his picture.
