Lindsey Graham Open to Nationalizing Banks
After all the hissy fits of the past month or so, Lindsey Graham is suddenly open to nationalizing the banks.

http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Economy/story?id=6885587&page=1

A year ago, it would have been unthinkable: Sen. Lindsey Graham advocating a government takeover of private banks -- but that is exactly what he suggested today.

"I would not take off the idea of nationalizing the banks" from the table, Graham, R-S.C., told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" program

6. It was a great time for all of us
We were so glorious then. Well, I suppose if Norm Coleman can still hold out hope, I guess I can. :)

3. Banks and greed!
Well well well!

Finally we the people can take over the banks and take the money from those greedy fat bankers!

We can only hope Oil is next!


The sooner Obama can slap all the corparations and give it all to the government where it belongs to help us!

Ohh I hope all the crowded jails are cleared to make room for those Republicans and their banking buddies!

And nationalize walmart too pls.
