You know... while we're on the subject of banks... I'd like to clear things up about something. If the Rabbi's original intent to say "if Obama did nothing...." was in reference to the TARP Law, that was Bush's baby.
I find many ignorant people saying that it was Obama that bailed the Banks out. Which is 100% incorrect. Bush signed it into law on Oct 3, 2008(only a month away from the election, so I can see where some may have gotten confused).
Here's a link:

So now that we've eliminated that $700B from Obama's ledgers and tacked it onto Bush's, not to mention that bailout did nothing to help the regular people caught in the crosshairs and helped the same CEO's that damn near crippled the country get their Multi-million dollar bonuses and help with their "golden parachutes".
Perhaps some of you ought to rethink your position on how Obama's spending is so out of control, and Bush was miserly.
