And this is important to me because..........? Thanks to Obama, the A**, my 118,000 shares of stock was rendered worthless. I'm out three million dollars. What an A**, this idiot is. Anybody can grow a vegetable garden but do we need a vegetable as the leader of our country. I'm disgusted.

    President Obama was not even the President in early 2008. You don't know your facts. Read the article again. That's your fault for not keeping an "eye"on your stock. Obama is cleaning up the mess

    from the last administration. let's get real.......The "so called policy makers" had it planned well in ADVANCE to rip you off. President Obama is going to "bat" for you and all the other American people that were ripped off by"Policy makers,Large banks and special"interest" groups. You need to wake up. You're foolish if not getting this. Go ahead and let them rip you off again.

    Think Enron,Haliburton,Citibank,BoA,Subprime morgage!
