commonsense remark---we don't make loans to people with bad credit and no ability to repay said loan! My oh my, too bad this kind of thinking was not a standard among the failing banks! |

Robert Rubin, former Clinton Treasury Secretary, took $150 million dollar bonus from the now defunct Merril Lynch?? Why isn't Obamanation going after THAT money?? |

James,
It isn't helpful to have slave-state rubes interfering with our politics. Minnesota is EMBARRASSED by the lovely Michele.
BTW the banker Cooper is or was recently chair of the Minn. GOP. Consider the source.

Speaking of slave states.
ALL are slave states now. We should change our name to the United Slave States of America.
When you take money and become indebted to another person/authority, you become their slave and under their influence until the time you can pay them back.
Every american tax payer is a slave to the government.
Every american that does not pay tax but takes money from the government dole is also a slave to government.
Our entire country is a slave to China, Japan, and any other country that buys our debt. So in essence, until we pay back our Trillions in Debt, everyone bow down to Hu Jintao. |
|
|
Now, give it to Americans who need it more than the banks. |

In case you haven't heard, there was this little thing in our history called the Civil War that did away with slavery. I am currently sitting in Tennessee, a lovely place to call home. Minnesota is lovely too I'm sure, and that state's residents should be embarrassed that such a race-baiting jerk like you is among their number. Don't you dare call MY home a slave state ever again. We here in the Volunteer State have sacrificed much to keep your sorry Marxist butt free, but I don't expect someone as dense as you to ever acknowledge that. Remember, we are all supposed to come together with hope and change. YOU are being divisive and bigoted for no other reason than someone said they live in Georgia. Do us all a favor and go choke on your own hatred so we don't have to smell it anymore. |

Why consider the source? Look at his balance sheet. They are making money. How? No bad loans.
Wake up, stupid. |

You are doing a great job. I remember back in the summer when you took the floor of the House for those after-hours energy debates. You were great, and I am grateful that Queen Nancy and her Proletarian Guard of liberal hacks were not able to run you out of that seat. I know of your family as well, all those kids you and your husband have been so generous and loving to. What a story of compassion, it's very moving.
We need common sense in DC now more than ever, and you are giving us that on a regular basis, and we thank you. Yes, even us ignorant rubes down here in Dixie can appreciate a Yankee once in a while:)
Best regards, Brian |

Brian and James,
Yes, I did go overboard on the "slave-state" ref, sorry, but I've been reading about the pre-Civil War era and can't help but notice parallels between the politics of the 2 eras. For example, Lincoln's great rival Douglas of Illinois referred to the Great Emancipator's opposition to the Mexican American war of the 1840s; in 1858 Douglas said Lincoln had supported our enemies. Sound familiar? Stephen Douglas today would be a conservative talk radio host.
Lincoln also had his own, special, non-Christian religion, and enemies used that to smear him as well.
Taking the race thing out of it, we in the north obviously have enough wackos like Bachmann already without fellow travelers encouraging her. |

Hey, a bank that doesn't need the money is giving it back. Good for them, good for us. What does this prove to Rep. Bachmann and Fox News? They seem to be gloating about it. Do they think we shouldn't have given any money to any banks? |
|
"Every american tax payer is a slave to the government."
Interesting concept. The first income tax in the U.S. was implemented by Abe Lincoln in 1862. He was a Republican who thought a war needed to be paid for. Today's Republicans believe that the only willing to go to war against the Islamo-Fascist evil-doers, is by putting the entire cost onto the national credit card. |

Lincoln was dead for decades BEFORE income taxes were levied by the 16th Amendment, ratified on 2/3/1913.
Before this there was no income tax. |

It will take some time for the economy to digest eight years of Bush-Republican malfeasance.
A few days ago, AIG reported a $60 billion fourth quarter loss for last year. The bad news from last year keeps pouring in.
Stock market performance under Clinton and Bushed
--------------DJIA-----NASDAQ----S&P500
1/20/93----3242--------697---------433
1/20/01--10,588-----2,770-------1,343
1/20/09----7,949-----1,441---------805
Folks, take a look at the Destruction of Wealth under George Bush and the Republican party's miscreant 'Reign of Error.'
DJIA performance under Clinton was positive 227%.
NASDAQ performance under Clinton was positive 297%.
S&P500 performance under Clinton was positive 210%.
DJIA performance under the 'Reign of Error' was negative 25%.
NASDAQ performance under the 'Reign of Error' was negative 48%.
S&P500 performance under the 'Reign of Error' was negative 40%.

"Lincoln was dead for decades BEFORE income taxes were levied."
I do not know what country you are from, but you had better bone up on your American history before you take the U.S. citizenship test.

He left MN for Florida to "escape the taxes" - which tells us pretty much all we need to know about Mr. Cooper. He only came back last July when: "The announcement of Cooper's return as CEO follows a bad three months for the bank. Last week TCF reported its second-quarter profit fell 62 percent, as the number of bad loans it wrote off nearly quadrupled. And TCF announced a fivefold increase in its reserves to cover potential loan losses".
Gee, it would seem Mr. Cooper's bank DID actually deal in bad loans, now doesn't it?
Leave it to FNC and the self-righteous news actress to use a well known GOP hack to try and undermine any forward and healing measures the Obama administration is working towards to stop the horrific bloodletting in our Bush Economy. |

was a flat rate 3% (Revenue act of 1891) - zapdoodat is correct. later, income taxes were declared unconstitutional (in 1895?) The amendment followed. |

There is a lot of room between 'may and may not' The point being that Reid could get a lot of money for his choo choo. Plus, Vladamir, your link is dead. |

...we can rely on the psycho, sycophantic, lefty trolls to: 1) attack the messenger if he or she is Republican, conservative, or somehow opposed to the god emperor; 2) blame Bush and the Republicans for whatever it is; 3) show idolatrous admiration for the god emperor. Boring - and ever so predictable. |

Someone should lock the door and force everyone to listen to this wonderful lady. There could be an American Idol moment where folks vote to get rid of the crazies and tone deaf crows. To think the nutty left almost got rid of her ! Hint .. stay away from the dark zone on the lower cables ! I was spellbound watching c-span! Excellent analogies !! Steve King , also the salt of the earth. Great Session ! Thank-you !!
Kindred spirits all !! |

As it turns out, Jindal's state is looking for rail upgrades as indicated in the measure of the R&R Act that you cited. Boehner's state could benefit as well. The fact is that what you guys have touted as fact - that the R&R Act specifically places a high speed train route from Disneyland to a) the Bunny Ranch, and/or b) Las Vegas is WRONG.
And yet, you STILL want to hammer this one to death as though it were fact. No wonder our country is in a tailspin - we've got fist-dragging silver backs grunting and pillaging through our legislature and bucking up the idiocy via the king silver back Limbaugh and his lesser ape minions at FoxNews and ABC radio. |

Congresswoman Bachmann --
Since this is the only place you accept feedback, I have been trying to contact you for the last month.
First, I want to say that I admire you and your principles. I believe you are a very intelligent, passionate woman, and I appreciate that.
But please stop making uninformed comments to the national media and embarassing the state of Minnesota. I am an MN GOP member, and I am concerned about the image you are bringing to our party.
A few weeks ago, you noted that we are "running out of rich people." I've included a link the Current Population Survey which provides real live data about our country's citizens. http://www.census.gov/cps/
AS you can see, we are not "running out of rich people." Please check for facts before making these statements.
Most recently, you noted that Obama was turning the country towards "socialism." I wanted to post the definition of socialism. Please learn this before using it again.
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
Thank you |
