The banks have a point, though. It is not the President’s purview to comment on such things, especially when the banks are trying to recover. Trash talking them is not conducive to investor confidence, which leads to stock devaluation which leads to you losing your job, Drew. Frankly, everytime 0bama opens his yap, the market nose dives, so I, for one, am more than ready for him to shut up and actually work for a couple of consecutive days. If he has it in him to do so, of course. I’d hate for him to stress out or anything.

I worked (past tense – as in laid off past tense) for one of those banks who aren’t doing so grand.

They don’t get it. Period.

And then their main lobby has the balls to go on the record with this?

Because it is not their jing to be loose with.

I suspect you’ll see more and more companies cutting back or asking for anonymity. especially with the anointed one seeking ever more control and higher taxes

Of course they’d cover it up. And they shouldn’t. In Mexico they would call that “Saludar con sombrero ajeno.”
