Obama Administration Refuses to Accept Repayment of TARP Money.

What about my post was not on topic? Did you miss all the parts where I talked about the money? How about answering this part of my post:

 

It's doubtful if you get an answer from Carpro unless he can work an insult in
there somewhere.

 

Overlooked in the rhetoric I see on this thread is an important fact from the article, namely that of "the threat of an embarrassing public audit" on said bank.

Banks are audited every day. In fact, one of my nieces is employed as a Bank Auditor, and who audits banks on a daily basis.

However, such audits are normally confidential information to banking regulators and the Fed.

My own bank, which is 'privately owned' routinely releases the report of the summary of their audits, both from the state auditor, and their own private auditors. They do not normally release the details, nor why should they?

Why was this bank allegedly threatened with a "public audit" for the purpose of embarrassment, should be the real question here, IMO.

I don't need you jumping to my defense. If you don't have anything to contribute to the thread, then just move on.

 

Ed, I read that a little differently from you. I wondered why the bank would find a public audit embarrassing??? Do they have something in their books they don't want us or their depositors to see?

 

Bush may be gone, but the damage he did lives on.

Funny too, how the crowd who cries "Bush isn't President" come from the same group that always blamed everything bad that Bush had to deal with on President Clinton. Oh the shoe fits the other foot quite nicely, doesn't it?

 

More BDS!! :sleep:

(Just to use your own tactics!):laugh:

 

Your mention of "Bush".

That puts you in company with the other Bush haters here. If you like their company , keep taking threads about the policies of Obama off topic by trying to divert attention to Bush.

 

Have you read the OP? I quote, "Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money." The OP posted about Bush, so is he off topic? Why am I the one of topic when the OP had a quote about Bush?

 

Just because the OP mentions Bush does not mean he is the subject of the OP.

The subject is The Obama Administration's refusal to accept repayment.

Now stop whining and get back on topic.

 

Who's whining? You are the one whining about me being off topic. I've tried twice to engage you about Obama not accepting the money back and twice you've ignored it. How about a third time?

 

Gotta a link to a source?

 

Sure..here's info about the 402 million: link

Here's info about the other that was just approved (but not yet paid): link

 

Give up?

Let me help you just a little. BoA has not repaid a cent of the TARP funds.

The payments you are referring to were "dividends".
IOW interest.

Furthermore: Your CEO shoots from the hip a little too often.

Emphasis on "will not allow".

My advice is to know what you are talking about before you make rash statements.

 

Here is the key sentence in this article:

Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money.

Given that the bank accepted government (maybe coerced by the Bush administration) they shouldn't get out so easily.

 

Ok carpro, you got me there regarding dividends .

 

Here's a bank that refused all TARP money:

While Wall Street was reeling last year and banks were being bailed out, Abilene's First Financial Bankshares was flourishing.

The stock of Abilene's only publicly traded company rose by 47 percent in 2008.

This article in the WSJ demonstrates vividly O'bama rex's goals for this country, socialism. Joe the plumber recognized this. The pseudo-intellectuals and leftists didn't care, that is what they want. The independents were apparently too ignorant to face the truth. Then there is the Slobbering Love Affair that the media and many had with O'bama rex.

Judge Napolatino is correct. This entire process is unconstitutional but then all thos folks mentioned above could care less.

 

What truth were independents too ignorant to face? That we didn't like Obama or McCain and somehow it is our fault that Obama was elected? If the republican party would have put up an actual conservative instead of a wishy washy has been maybe I would have voted for the republican candidate.
