Obama is trying to stir up more anger amongst the people against the banks in order to misdirect them from the fact that most of the banks have in fact already paid back their loans with some heavy interest on top of the principal. 

Back home, the wise guy loan sharks charge some pretty heavy vigorish (interest), but at least when you pay up it is done until the next time you borrow. 

Obama was quoted as saying “If banks can afford to pay out all those bonuses, they can repay taxpayers too,” he went on to say “We’re not going to let Wall Street take the money and run, we’re going to pass this fee into law.” 

Though most of the banks have indeed paid back the money they borrowed, Obama said “that is good news, but as far as I am concerned, it is not good enough, we want the taxpayers’ money back, and we are going to collect every dime.” Twice? 

Barry S., are you suggesting they should pay twice? What were you a thug and a loan shark in your previous life on the sidewalks of Chicago? 

You try pulling that crap without the protection of the office you have usurped and you would get eaten alive. For the smartest guy in the room, you are really a king sized airhead. 

The ones who have not paid back the money are the car companies and the union goons whom you seem to be in bed with. 

I don’t hear you addressing what if anything you intend to do about them. 

By the way has Tax Cheat Geithner ever ponied up the back taxes that he supposedly overlooked or Charlie Rangel, or Tom Daschle, that is taxpayer money so what about them? You went on and on about transparency during the campaign well, let us have transparency, give us a public accounting of these cheating ganefs. 

You were shooting off your mouth about conducting business on C-Span (you are on video tape at least 8 times promising this, so where is it?). 

You made all these promises and haven’t kept one of them, so I am lead to believe that you will never be accused of abusing the truth, because you have never been close enough to the truth to touch it, and that is sad for someone who is supposed to be a president but then you are a phony president anyway, so it is no great surprise.
