Holy F-ing Christ. Our money is being hoovered away as fast as the corporations can take it.

[Serial Mom]

1. They've taken it all...

First our 401K investment money and risked it UNWISELY and still paid themselves high salaries and bonuses.

Then they take our tax money that we pay to the government to help them out of the mess they created.

What monies are left for them take!?!?!

2. Friggin pisses me off. I'd love to see these corps spanked and hard

[Serial Mom]

3. I figured out the money that is left IS THEIR PERSONAL FORTUNES!!

Maybe they should invest THAT into the companies!

[Frustratedlady]

4. I have $7.31 and some coins they haven't found yet.

I thought I'd buy myself some cheap wine and chill out.

If there is anything Obama can do, do it! The citizenry is already holding onto their dollars or trying to buy food to feed their families. They are paying attention. Do it! Tell these banks and whomever else to either use that money for what it was intended or give it back.

I've had it with these jerks. I've already notified my family I am cutting back severely for the holidays, as I can't depend on having enough funds to live day to day. We're just going to have to ride this out. If Obama would come forth and say he is going to put the brakes on these guys, I might change my mind, but I'm afraid the big guys will get to him before he can accomplish anything meaningful.

Stay strong, Obama. We've got your back.

5. Wall Street to Taxpayer... our horse is now healthy, alas your horse died.

6. gee--why am I not surprised..
