Next it will be "I don't think people should be out buying guns and ammo"
I wish we could have had access to these headlines-to-come back in 2005 and 2006, when people thought we were brown shirts and chicken littles.

It's come to this - The President of the United States of America: "What I don't think people should do is suddenly stuff money in their mattresses"
Next it will be "I don't think people should be out buying guns and ammo"

Why shouldn't they.Rather have it under the matress than at citi thats for sure.
This man is a complete fucking failure. Get it through your damn head.
This whole world is so fucking rotten that the one thing you can depend on is being told the exact opposite of
1) the truth
2) what is in your best interest
3) how far they'll stick it in
Best Presidential Parallel of the day:
"...we're not suggesting people take your money out of banks and put it in home safes; not a good idea..."
TRANSLATION: either it's a good idea, or we're hyping to scare people.

"What I don't think people should do is suddenly dtuff money in their mattresses"
That's exactly what you should do. Got my "greatest generation" family members through the Great Depression, thank you very much. That funny green paper may be worthless, but it's going to be hard to survive initially without it when the SHTF!
Of course when it becomes totally beyond worthless later on it won't matter, but at least you'll have somewhat of a head start over the other guy.
I was thinking of just taking all of my money out based on principle alone.
Fuck these bankers and their bought and paid for government.

I totally agree, that why I've been steadily stuffing my mattress with money for the past four years.
Next it will be "I don't think people should be out buying guns and ammo"

Well, uh, he actually said that, actually, on or about Dec 9, 2008...the day I bought my first handgun.
Perhaps it is better to throw in the furnace and heat their homes with it.
How long until he says "I don't think people should buy guns and ammo"? A week? Another month?
You can't get ammo right now anyway.
RUN..........................
I'm waiting for when Obama says:
"its not necessary to panic and buy precious metals, the dollar is strong, and therefore doesnt need to be backed by gold".
Obama might be right...
Go buy some Gold and SKF!
What kills me is that those higher-ups don't even realize that there are millions of Americans who don't even have a mattress, let alone money!
We are doomed. They get elected and the only people they think about are those who bankrolled them into power.

Where the F**K do you want me to put it?
.
My bank wanted to move me to
a higher interest rate...
What the Hell, they are not giving me anything now!
Especially with 10k min balance!
I don't think people should be shooting banksters, LMAO!!
Check out this graphic on how much money is being flushed down the crapper propping up banks and bloated municipalities with Obamas bailouts and stimulus.

Got Gold?
O bama got $750,000,000 in his "war chest". Hey Obama, where did you park YOUR money. You don't seem worried that since you have been prez the Dow lost 3000 points. What's your secret Cool Hand Luke? Same Q for Pelosi, Reed, et al
Right, because putting your money in a rathole called the stock market is so much better.
Idiot.
If a company is profitable shouldn't that company raise dividend.

Are you kidding me?
Should we jump in and ride the profit train back to the top?
Citigroup is a disaster. That company has burned through tens of billions of private capital and taxpayer money.
If anyone stopped to point out the emperor's attire, he would suspect it would be insolvent.
If you actually read the entire statement from Citi yesterday, it was profitable before one-time items.
"One-time items" include pesky little things like investment writedowns and credit losses.
The big banks being propped up by government funds or even fancy accounting maneuvers like suspending mark-to-market accounting are not going to the inspiration for a real rally on Wall Street.

Oh well, who would think of something like this ??
2012 is cominnnnngggg !
Aren't those option Arm, Alt-A, and NINJA loans going to reset soon.
If mortgage default notices are a record high now then what would those default rate be like this November when those new toxic loans start to reset.

Mortgage default notices reach record high in Santa Clara County
A total of 1,465 "notices of default" — the first step in the foreclosure process — were filed by lenders in the county, up 60 percent from January, and up 32 percent from a year earlier, according to the information firm ForeclosureRadar, which reported the data Wednesday.
Last month's figure beats the previous record of 1,412 defaults in a single month, which was reached in April 2008.
The way I think of it is the bank balance sheets were backed by these CDOs and MBSes and you know what happened. The Fed bought these 'assets' and guess what? Your dollar bills are now backed by CDOs and MBSes.
Actually, if all the self-proclaimed libertarians and honest conservatives pulled their money out of the markets, banks, and stopped paying their bills; they could have a true "John Galt" moment.
The parasites would be forced to abandon their socialist paradise and we could get a government in that would balance the budget.
Balancing the budget would allow us to repudiate the debt under the "odious debt" doctrine.
We have the military, so nobody could use force to stop us.
Or we could just waste away...
who voted for all this CHANGE?????

Is the Future Going Down the Drain? Baby Boomers Going Bust
“In the last few months we've experienced explosive growth in interest by homeowners age 50-plus to find rooms and roommates,” says Jacqueline Grossmann, Chicago coordinator for the National Shared Housing Resource Center. “The trend now is getting younger and younger. People in their 50s and 60s are losing their nest eggs and increasingly willing to give up their privacy in exchange for rents of $500, $600 a month.”
“We've seen a 400 percent increase over the last few months of people nearing retirement age,” says Rita Zadoff, director of Housemate Match, a shared-housing program serving the Atlanta area. “We haven't been this busy since we helped Katrina victims find housing.”

Freddie Mac asks Treasury for $30.8 billion after big loss
Nearly half of Freddie Mac’s $50.1 billion net loss in 2008 occurred during the fourth quarter. The fourth-quarter net loss was $23.9 billion.
Freddie Mac said late Wednesday that it's getting billions of dollars in extra government support after reporting a huge quarterly loss.
Neel Kashkari, interim assistant secretary for financial stability at Treasury, told a congressional oversight panel Wednesday...
"However well-intended, government officials are not positioned to make better commercial decisions than lenders in our communities,"..."
They did a pretty good job lately, didn't they?
After watching a Trader from JP Morgan trading while intoxicated. I recommend getting all of your money out of that firm ASAP. Cocky 20 somethings need not be in charge of billion dollar funds. My mattress is safer than that moron.
Wow -- I'm a true renaissance man! I put aside cash and bought guns and ammo way before it was fashionable. I'll probably be purchasing land before it is cool again too.
Its time for Obama and Geithner to start lying to the public big time, so that they can reinflate the bubble... :P
Anyways, going by the rate at which they are printing money, the bubble is gonna be reinflated, and we would see Dow at 14000 by this time next year...
Money would be worthless, but hey, this is the only option left. All money in America is created as debt. And devaluation of money means devaluation of debt. Just what we need... to get back up...
Well, it seems that our new prez is strikingly similar to our old prez. God forbid if Americans were to become frugal and responsible with their money. I, for one, am personally stuffing as much money as I can under my mattress, so to speak. Putting it all away in my little savings accounts I have scattered around at several banks. I plan to save 40k this year. It is time we get back to REALITY and not continue living on fantasy island. Did I mention there is a real shortage of ammo out there?
"What I don't think people should do is suddenly stuff money under their mattresses"

Kinds sounds like,
"Whatever you do, Brer Bear, please don't throw me into the briars"
Obama knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
And that loud noise you heard a few weeks back was Mammoth slamming his wallet shut.
Best way to protest and fight back against all the Bailouts & financial shennagins is to simply clam up and not spend a dime more then you absolutely have to.

I got so tired of being labeled a Cassandra.
now my attitude for those folks is simple - eat sh*t and die.
Smug Bastard
Could someone help me here.
I somehow messed up a few weeks ago while reading Keiths Blog and hit some key wrong.
Now the blog only appears as a small strip in the center of the screen making it very hard to read. It is almost as if I minimized it.
I figured it would eventually go back to normal but not the case. Every other blog works great so it is something I did wrong on here.
Can anyone talk me through fixing this so the blog fills the whole screen again?
If he wants people to keep their money in their bank accounts, he should tell Bernanke to raise interest rates.
There is no point keeping money in a bank account if only earns a measley 2%.
Didn't Bush encourage people to go buy stocks?
Where's the Change here?
"Hey Obama, where did you park YOUR money. You don't seem worried that since you have been prez the Dow lost 3000 points. What's your secret Cool Hand Luke? Same Q for Pelosi, Reed, et al"
You think Obama cares about the DJIA?
Or any of the others?
They are already cash rich. Not to mention all they have to do is go give some speeches or write a book afterwards to get some SERIOUS coin.
People who have that kind of money (or potential future earnings) don't care if there is inflation or deflation.
Deflation...they buy up assets for pennies on the $.
Inflation...they all seemed to increase their wealth so much over the last 10 years that it really doesn't matter much to them.
Uber Rich, Uber Diversified...and they make the rules.
Would you be sweating in their shoes?
I wouldn't.
"Can anyone talk me through fixing this so the blog fills the whole screen again"?
I cant say I have heard this happening before. Did you try hitting F11 for full screen? Check under "tools" on your task bar.
Refuse to buy overpriced said:-"There is no point keeping money in a bank account if only earns a measley 2%".
Agree. Two years ago I assumed wrong that banks would raise their interest rates because they would need deposit money. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we the taxpayer would pour money down their throats like water. No wonder banks rates are so low, they have no need for deposits!
Evidentually, I think all these banks that took taxpayer money will turn into 'bad banks' and new spin off banks will open as 'clean banks'.
I hope all the Messiah cultists get back to living beyond their means, so I can join the next fraud and fleece all of them again when it all comes crashing down.
I don't complain anymore, as I just take advantage of the rigged system with my fellow Madoffs and Congress. Most of you love to give away your rights and hard-earned money to the NWO, and still criticize those who try to open your slave eyes about the cap-and-trade, North American Union, and World Central Bank scam coming up next.
By all means, go for it. And that goes to all cops and law enforcement out there who think that they won't be affected by it, or that it's just a conspiracy theroy. Yep, that's why your union retirement money got fleeced by the same banksters and groups you're all trying to defend. Sure, the citizens who are trying to open your eyes are the enemy, because that's how the same group of international elite thieves program you to believe. Keep defending those thieves, acting like you're on the "right side". Enjoy your retirement in poverty, then...oh, and your kids, and grandkids, too. Go ahead, go around busting the few libertarians who still give a f*ck about the constitution or who get mad about being fleeced by an European global elite of banksters stealing everything the US has left, while turning all of us into financial slaves to pay for their cap-and-trade scam. Can't you see that EVERYTHING you consume will go higher in price, since the corporation will transfer to carbon taxes to ALL of you? From food to electronics, all of you will be funding their European coffers, and when any of you ask to see where the money is going, they'll either call you a terrorist or say it's not your business to ask.
So play along slave sheeple.
I loved how those union members were calling CNBC last night to cry about all the $600 million lost with Madoff. You should see, there was an union guy, retired at 50 years old, who was sooo mad that he had to go back to work again. He wanted the taxpayer or someone to pay for their lost investments with Madoff. Unbelievable stuff!
You want to know how poor the Americano are:
1) How many Americano you meet on the street and you ask that person one question: "Do you have $50,000 U.S dollars or more in the saving account ?". If you asked a 100 people, what do you think the majority of the answer would be ?
2) Out of 100 people who had purchased a house in the past for the last 15 years, how many of those 100 people own their home clean and free, meaning they had paid off their mortgage already. How many out of 100 people do you think will say "Yes, I have paid off my home mortgage" ?
3) Out of 100 people that you meet on the street, how many of them carry one or more credit cards and pay off all charges at the end of the month ? What do you think the answer would be ?
Dude, the Americano is ALBUSTO !!!

I'm curious to know the figures.
