Interesting, Citi forecasts their best quarter since 2007 after having collected 45 billion in taxpayer subsidies.
Something stinks.

i believe in next month or two U.S. public will learn Pandit and Lewis are damned liars and are also lying at the behest of The Fed and Geithner/PPT and tacit approval of Obama on the premise that the Forming of PWG LEGALLY allows The Fed or Treasury to DO ANYTHING to stabilize the market.
i and others have at numerous times posted the EXACT words written contained in Presidential Declaration of 1987, that created the PWG(PPT) and that gives them UNLIMITED POWER.

i have in nasty sarcasm asked at times to the relentless doubters of PWG/PPT what part of "Anything" do they not understand.
Amazing how many , by their responses, reveal their ability to comprehend the english language is quite limited as the full phrase "have the authority to do ANYTHING" goes over their head.

i will state, in spite of Obama's call for transparency and ethics, he will be allowed to lie as he is also PROTECTED by the Presidential Declaration of 1987 as he would be doing it under 'as it is a matter of National Security the POTUS can participate in DOING ANYTHING to stabilize the Markets'.

This was in the fine print of the 'Home Security Yada, Yada' pssed when americans were , in their pany wetting fear, betraying the U.S. Constitution VOLUNTARILY.

This is the NEAT Catch-22 of our government that being that from the top to the bottom since 9/11 , it is now legal to lie and be unethical whenever it is deemed a matter of National Security, of which the Stock Market is covered.

So Obama can give speeches about transparency and ethics and at the same time be working with PPT to do "weird and SHADY maneuvers", but (Catch-22) NOT being thus a hypocrite, as he is legally permitted to deceive.

When i write like this i add i am apolitical and boycott elections.
i am quite non-partisan regards politicians, i have equal contempt for them all.:) Max
