Buried in the fine print of the deal, which includes $7 billion in soft-dollar consumer relief, are a raft of political payoffs to Obama constituency groups. In effect, the government has ordered the nation's largest bank to create a massive slush fund for Democrat special interests.

The gov’t forced banks to give loans to minorities that couldn’t afford to pay, the gov’t forced BofA to buy Countrywide and Merrill.

This is official corruption at the highest level and no one in the political opposition leadership seems to care enough to do anything about it. What has happened to this country??

Over the last 20 years or so, people voted in Republicans on the take, assuming that just having an "R" after their name was good enough.

Sadly, many think that's still the ticket for the Senate come this fall.

Corruption at all levels of government, and you think it somehow missed the ballot box?

Hahaha
