Obama Wants to Control the Banks

There's a reason he refuses to accept repayment of TARP money.

So let me get this straight...the CEOs of numerous banks are sitting there with checks made out to the U.S. Government, ready to repay (with interest) the TARP money from the first stimulus bill. And Obama is refusing payment so he can maintain his unconstitutional strangehold over them? This is an absolutely chilling abuse of power; of course a good liberal would tell us that those CEOs are getting what's coming to them...not surprising. And controlling the salaries of every single employee of that company? That is Stalinism in 2009.
