1. "I am pleased to report to you . . .
that America's bankers have stepped up to the plate. They will spend $1,000,000.00 on a new plan. THAT IS EIGHT, count em, EIGHT zeros, including the little ones at the end.

"That means, Ladies and Gentlemen, that America's bankers are doing their part to fix the problems in our economy.
To thank Goldman Sachs and other patriotic companies, I am striking any need for any bank to repay any outstanding loans. This will strengthen their ability to properly deal with their executive compensation, while maintaining a strong balance sheet overall. This agreement will allow American banks to maintain their unique and irreplaceable slot, especially in terms of executive compensation.

"god bless Wall Street, and merry X-mas."
