Or else what?

Does Obama really want another failure like Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac or is he so stupid he doesn't understand? Or, maybe he needs another scapegoat to blame for all his failures!

Someone should really tell this arrogant jerk to take a flying leap! He is not a damn dictator (at least not yet)!

So the answer to fixing the economic problems created by loose lending practices, mandated by government, is for banks to loosen lending practices.

Simply brilliant, Barry-o.

Idiots. The regulators bang the banks for making high risk loans...then the "administration" bangs the banks for not making enough loans, which, in the economic environment created by the "administration" are inherently high risk.

The list, ping

Methinks if he pushes this maxim, all TARP funds will be repaid in the next 30 days. The banks know full well what cratered their business: Government diktats. They certainly do not want to repeat the same mistake again. The funny thing would be the only banks forced to follow this BS would be the ones that cannot repay their TARP; think Citibank.

Give away more money to more people who won’t pay you back so that you go bankrupt and I can blame you then take you over........Alinsky’s Rules plus Cloward-Piven plan in action..........

[Spok]

These bankers have got to get over the idea of operating at a profit and emulate the government. It’ll work as long as the treasury keeps them ‘bama bucks coming off the press. /sarc

Guess who Barry wants all those loans made to....The same ones Barney Frank gave them to!...

[subterfuge]

I would just love to be in the room if one of the bankers leaned over the table and snarled “who the @*%$ are YOU calling fat cats, Mr. One Termer?”

On the other hand, I’d really like to know who the “fat cats” voted for last november.

I hope one of the bankers says ObaMugabe tried to intimidate him.

After all, America isn’t Zimbabwe, yet

I’m not sure he realizes that a lot of small businesses have cut back and loans aren’t the problem...

[Sacajaweau]

Can they give us some numbers on how many people have been turned down....If I were a bank and you gave me money, I would have bought and sold gold....and taken a big commish.

[clintonh8r]

He’s looking for someone to demonize so the heat comes off of his pathetic poll numbers.

Love SeekAndFind's posts.

So Obama is publically attacking banks for bad loans (Bwaney Fwank anyone), and yet is demanding they risk even more money so they can get blamed again by him and Bwaney Fwank . Low interest rates are making very safe investments 'look good' for banks (not us.) Ask Paul Krugman about that!

Smoke and Mirrors obama is so paid off by the banks but just like the AIG bonus debacle he will be seen as doing something when the real truth is the so called financial reform he is pushing will allow them permanent bailouts. Give the Fed even more power. And look at the size of the problem his favorite banker alone has in derivatives.

This must be a misquote: "It's the Bank's fault."

He really meant to say: "It's Bush's fault."

“Fat cat bankers”....Chicago talk for “The Mob”....

The POTUS has NO BUSINESS ordering banks to lend, or how to conduct their business, etc. The forced-lending to non-qualified buyers started the downfall of banking in the first place, and now they're going to do it again?

It looks like the recovery is scaring the socialists, where they haven't taken over all the things they want to control, and the private sector is rallying against it.
