[mr1uponu]

[coolnatalie19898]

I do agree with uhoh

[LonghornRepublic]

there is no level playing fields you feeble minded trusting dumbasses. we have foreclosed on houses illegaly and there is nothing you can do about it. they ignore history. did you ever think that the stories about world history that you heard in high school and college would include you someday, reach out and feel it you are them now.

This was a total setup, a deal to f%$ck investors of both firms. Bernanke and Paulson forced the Merrill BOA deal.

It is disgusting what is going on in the treasury department today, Paulson and Bernanke forcing the deal to f*ck investors is out of place, considering what they are doing with chrysler private equity holders.

These guys belong to jail.

[gopconservative78]

By 2011 this company will have $350 billion in revenue......this was the best deal in 50 years!

[pepsimannampepsi]

People better Jump on board and start buying up shares of Bank Of America Soon.

Does anybody know how big this company is now? It's F*ckin huge. This company will be here for years to come.

[remyaa1]

NorceCodine - That is the most imbicilic statement ever typed. regardless if that goofy looking guy thaine is associated with the business, the debt will still be there.

[uhoh38125]

These bastards rob us till we cant pay them another cent, and then OUR OWN GOVERNMENT lets these thieves take more of our "WORKED FOR" money through our tax system. Just hands it to them and with huge bonuses.......all the while claiming that we the working people are gonna have credit again?????? WHAT????? Credit is what did this to begin with!!!!!!!!!!!I We want justice! JAIL FOR THIEVES......

[stano99x]

Merrill Lynch is run by totally incompetent managers, with no integrity and no respect for employees. Increasing their already obscene packages is the only concern of these scum. I know I used to work there.

[NorceCodine]

I think Ken Lewis knew from day one that he would get rid of Thain as soon as possible. Lets not forget that Merril came on board with a 15 billion loss, upon which BofA received 25 billion bailout from the government = 10 billion instant profit for BofA. Thain had vastly underestimated Ken Lewis. I bet that the whole story of Thain spending 1.2 mil on his office was leaked by Ken Lewis' people to the press. Cosa Nostra, step aside...

[gopconservative78]

Stan O'neil ruined the company and Thain did his best to save it.

[xiola696969]

Bank of America=loan shark. They are huge predatory lenders. I feel sorry for people that bank with them. How many poor people has this bank basically stolen from using predatory lending and harsh over the limit fees well beyond 150% interest rates. Millions thats why its so rich you will notice while other banks are hurting BA is buying up people due to is dishonest and harsh business practices.

[abrahamWCE]

Merrill Lynch isn´t bull - ish anymore

now is a bull - shit.

[biped19]

bankers are parasites that make money off of money. What we refer to today as "interest." But cultures and civilizations in the past correctly reffed to it as USURY, banning the practice and punishing anyone who engages in the activity. For you religious folks out there even the bible says this is wrong. Somehow in our morally relativistic and bankrupt society USURY is considered a sacred ideal. FUCK THIS ECONOMIC DICTATORSHIP.

[PFSI]

For, at root, money, serving as a store of value and medium of exchange, is the lubricant that enables a society to organize itself to achieve progress. The ability to store the fruits of one's labor for future consumption is necessary. The average exchange rate for money against all goods and services, and how it changes over time, plays a profoundly important role in any society, because it influences the nature and scope of our economic and social relationships over time.

[gopconservative78]

This was the right thing to do under the crazy markets since September 2008.

[zabarabacom]

google for my page to see how global banking giants falsify their reports and pump their value with help from KPMG and Price Waterhouse  Coopers

One Hundred bucks says..... Micheal Moore is putting together a movie about this whole credit crisis.

[michaelispan]

[ethoswithme]

i cant wait till a book comes out about this whole turmoil. When all the dust has settled then the truth will be seen. Its funny how every 10yrs or so something like this happens. In the 70s it happened, 80s with hyperinflation and takeovers, 90s with junk bonds/michael milken,2000s enron, now this credit crisis, i wonder what 2020 will bring, any suggestions?

[lorerax1]

We will see something that we havne't seen since the great depression. Wev'e had the Nasdec bubble, the the housing bubble, now its the insurence companies and our credit, its going to keep on happening. By mid 2009 we will see some real shit hit fans. God Speed. Much love is needed.

[Daritto7117]

This should put that city that Bank of America's headquartered in on the Map!!

I think it's Charlotte, NC?

[miasansom]

Had a front row seat for this one...

[SiqMyDuck]

SOOOO, What was the point of Merrill Lynch firing Stanley O'neil when he engaged Wachovia in talks of merging?

Question to Merill Lynch Board of Directors, how stupid do you feel now?

[marniespeaks]

let them all fall!

these jerks want you, he tax payer, to bail them out then charge you, the tax payer, interest for bailing them out!

[sjs2011]

Yeh! Now THAT is a BRILLIANT idea!

- Have fun living in a dog kennel.

idiot..

[marniespeaks]

After stealing a half trillion dollars to line the pockets of their war-profiteering backers for the past five years, after lining the pockets of their fellow oilmen to the tune of over a hundred billion Bush and his cronies are looting the U.S. Treasury of every dollar they can grab.

NOTHING in this bailout package will lower the price of the gas. NOTHING in this bill will protect you from losing your home.

They are taking what's left of your savings and any retirement you have socked away.

[keltik31]

yea, ken lewis, the Corporate Cocksucker.

[onstageagain]

My friend, if you are a American. Just the fact that you are here on this subject... If you don't know who Gerald Celente is , you are doing yourself a disfavor. All Americans need to listen for 3 min... right here on You Tube... We are at the end of what use to be a great country Americans. Please be informed ... listen to this on

You Tube...

Gerald Celente warns of the next US Great Depression. PART 1 ..

[biped19]

Are you kidding!? I've been binging on Celente for the past two months. LOL. What he has forecast will probably come true.

[mirtheous]

They ones who got rich making shady deals should be punished.

[StubbornCanary]

Americans have themselves to blame for living on credit.

[mirtheous]

True, but still, those who are responsible are not to blame.

[RalphW13]

What does that even mean? If they are responsible...they are to blame. The situation is at the fault of those who were responsible because as you stated, they are RESPONSIBLE. We are all responsible, and our government has failed in the regulation of these mega-corporations. No one is immune to failure. Get ready for more of this because of credit situation, all these empires are going start falling in on themselves, but then again, they're responsible. So who's to blame, right?
