Even a branch manager of a small bank is given a VP title but they earn only modest salary. Historically bank employees earn less compared to their counterparts in other industries. The reason was that even during bad times bank employees were not laid off, thus job security until they retire. Of course time has changed.

VP title for bank managers is given so that if a customer wants to complain to the "top" guy, here he/she is, the Vice President of "Bank of America" will handle your situation.

Emanuel Admits Obama Won

At a New Yorker conference this morning, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) -- who has been hiding under his desk during the Democratic presidential race -- acknowledged for the first time that Sen. Barack Obama is the "presumptive nominee" of his party.

When moderator Ryan Lizza pointed out that there are only 217 undecided super delegates left, Emanuel laughed and said "it's an exclusive club."

Kennedy Says Joint Ticket Not Possible

In an interview to be televised later tonight on Bloomberg TV, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) said Sen. Barack Obama isn't likely to pick Sen. Hillary Clinton as a running mate.

Said Kennedy: "I don't think it's possible."

He said Obama should choose a running mate who "is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people."
