It's apparent that the news media world is in-recession occupied by their own miserable financial circumstances to gain readership by good journalism just when something other than making 'it up' would be a bit of fresh air and possibly welcome to their top line, consider the farce of the lousy banks stories.  Most people don't know their own congress person, so to expect them to get more than distorted sound bites and intentional misinformation regarding the American bank soundness reality are as lost about truth in lending ability as whether or not the tooth paste they use is safe.  Anyone reading the most recent Bank Annual reports or even a press clip here or there are or should be realizing that the 'holdup of the century' is being perpetrated upon shareholders of every stripe, and the amazing part is that the biggest private/government oriented pension holders of securites are as silent as the ability of themselves to soon continue to send those retirement checks...mum!  The leaks from insiders to meetings between Obama and his Adminstration and reporters are showing that many 'Banks' are now able to give the money back just as they 'never' needed the money in the first place, and denied giving it back...why?  That's what is so troubling and the press is still going along with the sorry act of playing possum with the truth, again why? 
Those annual reports are if in violation of Sarbanes-Oxley, lying, tell a different capitalization story of yes bad deals on the books, but not anywhere needing or wanting a 'bailout', Tier 1 percentages aren't near regulatory lending constrait, nor the fact that lending  has increased year over year,  that's where the fuzzy 'daylight holdup' is being spun on the American people and consuming the shareholders wealth without legal precedent: Bank of America and Wells Fargo just caughed up $400M and $371.5M for the recent quarter in interest on money they didn't want or need and are being a bit more than resisted from returning the 'Bailout' money that is in accounts earning less than 1% when they are paying Uncle Sam back 8% is reason the government shrank shareholder dividends to $0.01...if that isn't theft from shareholders to the government under the threat of regulatory audits that 'destroy' institutions is a joke right up there with a mandatory banker meeting in DC with the Messiah that is so gracious that an empty water glass is refused a refill. This is no usual staredown, but Chicago style thuggery from the WhiteHouse.  How much longer can an Administration that continues to banter the banks the scapegoat for economic troubles the same time WhiteHouse economist Christina Romer on Friday said "when in the spring or summer we know the Stimulus Plan failed" , I noticed on CNBC that the green trades turned red!  Why wait to Labor Day to acknowledge that a real Stimulus via Tax cuts would be a real Reagan respect that Obama spoke about during his constant referals to 'his campaign'?

We should all be worrying where this is going next while we watch the riots begin in passive Europe, OH yea it's bike season.
