Obama we have a problem….. Stimulus money working is it?

Bank of America Corp. said Friday it lost more than $2.2 billion in the third quarter as loan losses kept rising, providing more evidence that consumers are still struggling to pay their bills.

The nation’s second-largest bank said it wrote down loans on its books by almost $10 billion during the July-September period, up almost $1 billion from the second quarter. The bank also added $2.1 billion to its reserves to cover bad loans, bringing its provision for credit losses to $11.7 billion. The bank’s total allowance for loan and lease losses now totals $35.83 billion. Read More

As you were told Obama that America can not spend its way out of the recession, but then you don’t listen to anything you’re told because you don’t care as long as you can push your socialist agenda down our throats. I have all reasons to think that Obama will have to listen to the American voters come 2012. Just about everyone I talk to on the streets say they can not wait to see Obama leaving the White House.

Banks Shut Down in Illinois and Nevada

Regulators on Friday closed Heritage Community Bank in Illinois, and Security Savings Bank in Nevada, marking 16 failures this year of federally insured institutions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed the receiver of the banks.
On Friday, the government announced plans to increase its stake in beleaguered Citigroup Inc. to as much as 36 percent by converting its preferred stock to common stock. While the conversion will dilute current shareholders’ investments.
Still, the news offered little comfort to investors who are worried about the stability of other banks.

Obama keeps spending and banks keep failing, don’t he see that this is going in the wrong direction? Need to stop spending, cut taxes on the working people and do away with capital gain tax or at least cut it in half. If he want to spend we need to replace alot of military equipment and that would be more jobs, and we could use at least a 100,000 more troops in the military. By the way where is he going to find jobs for the NG troops he’s pulling out of Iraq?
