Okay. So the litany list of failures cited in the article I posted were concocted? Or you think that every bank is similarly inept?
If the latter point, so what? What's the relevance here? Interestingly Wachovia was fined 130 or so B for similar failures. If you had read the articles I posted you would know this. But you didn't.
Also drop the Obama line. YOU stated this was the product of politics. I'm poiting out that there's more than politics going on. You cannot logicall accuse me of partisanship because I am rebutting one of the arguments you posited. You know that's illogical. And the fact they a state agency and a prior administration investigated this does indeed suggest its not just politics. You can't dodge this obvious reality by personally attacking me.
And finly, in your last post you admit that your witch hunter example was bad, then you accuse me of putting up a Strawman because I called you on your admittedly bad comparison. That makes no sense my friend.
Your use of all caps and personal attacks suggests you are growing emotional. Please calm down and begin posting rationally. TYIA.
