Obama is about 1/2 complete on his "Destroy America" project

And there you have it, Obama is anti profit. Wants to limit what is "fair" for a business to earn. I've worked in the banking industry for 32 years and I can tell you the man has no fucking clue. Democratic government regulation limited the fees bank could charge comapnies for card transactions. So what did banks do? They sought to replace the lost revenue with a different revenue stream. It's what for profit buisnessses do when their profits drop. Profits are why they exist. I've read across the internet some comments people have made about being pissed that BoA is charging $5 per month. Seems they don't like the idea that they are being charged to access THEIR money. They are correct, it is their money. Id they don't like what the bank charges, take their money elsewhere. But here's the deal, if you think your little checking account that your paycheck goes into twice a month is what the bank is using for making loans, you're crazy. The average consumer checking account spends most of the money deposited each pay period. The bank offers checking accounts as a SERVICE. It is a service that typically is not profitable. That is why they charges fees. People have no idea of the volume of paper check and card transactions a bank deals with on a daily basis and the technology, hardware and software involved. It ain't cheap. So when you have your little checking account with an average balance of $200 in it, don't delude yourself into thinking that you are doing the bank a favor keeping your money there. They are doing you a favor by providing an expensive service to you for $5 per month. You can always cash your check and carry cash.

While I agree with your statements of Obama, your defense of the bank and banks in general makes me want to puke...

I truely believe that Obama hasn't a clue on what the term "Cause and Effect" actually means.
They live in a universe of guilt.Where are the libs on this thread ?
I mean, our President (who I didn't vote for and wouldn't vote for) is getting whacked right and left and they sit by and whine about what ?
Or is this and admission of guilt ?

Even a child can understand the concept of a business selling a product or service and making a profit. Why is this difficult for you? Do you think a bank should offer you a service free of charge? How will they pay their utilitiy bills? How will the meet payroll for the tellers? How will they pay for the phone lines connecting the ATM's to the bank's network? When you write a check at Wal-mart, they deposit it at their bank. Their bank has people that sit at a machine called a proof machine and enter it by hand so it can be processed by a program. The check also goes thru a macine called a reader sorter that sorts out all the checks going to other banks. Couriers pick up all of these checks and transport them across town where they go thru the same process at your bank. That is a lot of handling, overhead and people your one little check goes thru. Why do you think your small checking account that you use to write that $9.47 check should be free? Because you deposit your $300 paycheck every two weeks and withdraw $250 of it in 2 or 3 days? How is the bank making money off of your money? There isn't enough left for them to "use" for other purposes. They provide a service to you to make it convenient to store your money rather than carry it all with you. Why shouldn't you pay for it? Tell me what other companies you think should give you free stuff? The grocery store? I mean damn it, you have to eat! How is it fair that a company should charge you for a basic necessity of life? Perhaps doctors should give you free heathcare. The least they can do is give you free samples of meds instead of making you have to spend your money.
Puke all you want. Banks are for profit businesses that provide services. Service you have to pay for. No one makes you use them. It is a choice. Don't like it, keep your money in your pocket or take it elsewhere.
If you can't understand this, you're an idiot.

I have no problems with profiits you moron... what part of my post said that. Thats why agreed with you on Obama, but its how you reach those profits. I we would of let you assholes fail for giving out loans people couldn't afford and then selling them as an investment to people. You guys fuck people everywhere and go fuck yourself if you can't see that, all you do is engage in speculation and build bubbles. Our federal reserve is so lenient and bends over backwards for you assholes and you don't seem to understand that all you want is more more more. That's why people can't stand banks...
I have free checking because I refuse to settle like that dumb ass Amelia if she's trying to get at me with those dumb statements and greedy people like you
I cant stop you from making profits, and I have no problem with profits, but the recognition of greed and abuse can be seen simultaneously. It's not like if I call you greedy I'm against profits. Do you lack that much mental flexibility? If so it would explain a lot about this country, left and right.

He doesn't understand basic economics...or for that matter any subject matter to a mediocre degree. He can articulate well from his teleprompter but that's it. He just really doesn't know much.

Thanks for your post there kw.
Must say I never looked at it in that light before.
I bank with Wells Fargo and have a checking/debit account only so they don't make money on me.
They are going to be charging a 3 dollar a month fee. I think all the banks will be doing that before long.
I still can't help wondering how the nation could possibly have known so little about a guy who liked to talk so much.
How did his handlers keep the lid on him long enough to keep him from embarrassing himself before they got him into the White House?
I'm mystified.
Well, he doesn't seem like such a smooth talker (unless TOTUS is with him, which makes him a better parrot) here, and at other times.I still can't help wondering how the nation could possibly have known so little about a guy who liked to talk so much.

Well Amelia. I think the people were just sick and tired of the Reps.
Being sick and tired of the Reps they went and voted for the shyster, errr smooth talker this time round.
We can all see how thats workin out.

Yes, they were pretty good, like horoscopes are pretty good - nothing specific but they know what to say to make an impression.Well, he doesn't seem like such a smooth talker (unless TOTUS is with him, which makes him a better parrot) here, and at other times.Well Amelia.

Yeah. But ya gotta admit Si that back in 2008 his campaign speeches were pretty darned good.
He had no record then. Easy to defend no record and way easy to make a super speech when you can project what your gonna do if elected.
Razzle dazzle was in play big time. Now me. I can smell a bs artist at 100 feet but loads of other bought into that razzle dazzle.
Not so easy today. He has a record. Sucky but there and not all that easy to defend. The Ol'Razzle Dazzle ain't gonna cut it this time.
