   Meanwhile a singer was arrested in England for singing “Kung Fu Fighting”. You’d think he burned the Koran or something.

   That’s awfully tempting and no one can blame you for feeling that way. The truth is, all we’d be doing is -exporting- the problem! She’d have OneUnited Cambodia set up in three months time.

   Nope, I want to SEE her do her time! Please make sure to call your rep’s and let them know you want to see this made a priority!

   RedDog,

   One of the Bubble-Blogger’s biggest concerns was that busted builders would simply move down the street and open up shop under… their ex-WIFE’S name! ( We’ve seen that right here in Portland )

   That mortgage brokers would just “switch firms” and all their dirty dealings would simply vanish. That Subprime mortgage lenders would ‘morph’ into Foreclosure Prevention ‘Specialists’!

   From top to bottom, our worst fears confirmed. In terms of scale, Maxine Waters really ‘is’ a small fish. But no less guilty. Otherwise their “Report Calls” would be more current than 2004? How many different ways can this SQ shake down the taxpayers?

   Bank Maxine’s Non-Performing Asset Ratio is described by BankRate as “Highly Problematic” Lol, just think where it would be without TARP funds?

   Capitalization
   Both FDIC and NCUA consider capitalization levels of banks and credit unions to be of high importance. Higher capitalization allows for a greater buffer when cover loans that may fail in the future. OneUnited Bank has $522.9 million in assets with $38.51 million in equity, resulting in a capitalization level of 7.36%, which is below average.

   It was common at one time for construction companies to put the business in the wife’s name, to get minority status and other gov’t benefits offered female businessmen.

   I know of one gal (whom Sarah Palin reminds me of) who thought that actually meant she knew beans about construction, and was smarter than the subs she hired. They ended up divorced, and she kept the company.

    I once thought our country and the world economy was so complex, deep and diverse, with so many miriad checks and balances that it could not possibly collapse. People like Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi have slapped good sense back into my brain. I never would have believed they could have done what thet have, and so stunningly fast.

    It is clear that determined criminals are a force to be reckoned with and very difficult to stop, especially when they are skilled operators with the license of government at their disposal. A balanced budget amendment at 12%, and the Fair tax are the only way America’s future can be secured, at least Constitutionally. Otherwise, the disease will spread and become fatal.

    RD, that’s the only way some people will play the game. Preferring only to bet on the horse race -once- it is over. A simple matter of wagering on a sure thing and going to the window to collect you ‘winnings’.

    This is why I feel what the Tea Party really represents is, the Small Business Community in America. We’ve been promised ‘much’ by the GOP ( and… at one time, the Dem’s as well ) but it was never more than lip service.

    Exclusive of “Corporate America” the small business community in and of itself has -always- held somewhere between the 3rd and 5th largest economy on the planet. And the most ignored. We don’t have the access Swamp Queen Maxine does, and she shouldn’t have it either.

    To be perfectly fair, Swamp Queen Maxine was hardly the only butcher, baker or candlestick maker to jump on The Easy Money Banking Bandwagon.

    Locally just outside Salem, OR we had a start-up bank that had primarily realtors and DOCTORS on the Board of Dir. Needless to say it ended badly.

    But if you look at the Bal. sheet in the links I provided above, it was the TARP-infusion that made the difference between their being solvent or going BUST! My point is that a LOT of smaller regional banks went OOB, and obviously the fact some were allowed to -continue- to operate is creating The Moral Hazard that’s holding ALL of back!

    They got ‘their’ Reward -without- Risk… ( where’s ‘mine’? ) Well then! Until ‘I’ can get ‘that’ deal I’m not gonna’ do a damn thing! So here we sit.

    Would you all please quit diverting the discussion from the subjection of Maxine Waters, whose ancestors were NIGERIAN. The founding fathers didn’t even consider a full person!! By their definition, she’s not even two thirds of me! For the love of James Madison, the negress must be expelled from office AT ONCE.

    Ah, yes. I was wondering when you were going to play the Black race card again.

    So, by your post, you are suggesting the only reason Waters should go is because she is Nigerian. Nevermind those ethics violations.

    Also, I should point that people in Nigeria sleep outside the US embassy in Lagos waiting in line to get a visa to come to America.

    I also find it interesting how Blacks can be so offended at white Western European men but the Arab and other African slave traders get a free pass.

    Not to mention the Romans who took slaves from Scotland to Persia.

    …revolution in the metaphorical sense

    No commentator on here to my knowledge has suggested a literal “revolution”. That term was given specifically by the Mainstream Media to the Tea Party.

    An interesting choice of a word, considering TEA PARTY ralliers keep their clothes on, pick up their garbage and signs and do not use public school or hospital communication devices to send death threats to elected leaders.

    Of course, you could always provide links to support your case…..

    I find it interesting that my great great grandfather literally got off the boat in America, traveled to Minnesota and six months later in 1864 joined the Union Army and served as an artilleryman.

    Have you ever seen a black in this country, ever show any respect, any rememberance or any thanks for the Union soldiers who died to free their ancestors?

    Not one. Speaks volumes.

    I lived in her district for a few years. She hardly has any opponents in any election, usually tokens from the green party and libertarians. Many times the R’s don’t run anyone in her district. The only way people are going to be free of this crooked thief is when she leaves Congress feet first from old age.

    Actually, Fly, I have. Many of them served in the military with me. They honored their brothers-in-arms as well as their contributions.
    I understand it is easy to paint all of a group with the same brush as the ones you witness, but…

    I am familiar with a number of banks like the one you mentioned that started up in Florida. Their sole purpose was to build up their balance sheets to a certain point then offer themselves up for sale to a mainstream bank like BOA, Citibank, or a Suntrust. Mix well, repeat. It was the financial equivalent of flipping houses only a lot dirtier.
