It does seem to describe many of the posters. I want Bush out too, but I don''''''''t have a psychotic obsession about the guy.

Wikipedia

"The term BDS has been used in the political arena to describe a perceived tendency by some American liberals to blame President George W. Bush for virtually every ill in the world.[9][10] Another noted facet of BDS-like behavior is that it may appear to be a merely reflexive opposition to any position advocated by Bush for no other reason than that Bush happens to be advocating it.[11]

Krauthammer, a former psychiatrist who earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School, defined BDS as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency %u2014 nay %u2014 the very existence of George W. Bush". The term reflects a belief that some criticisms of President Bush %u2014 for example, a description of him as the greatest current threat to American lives %u2014 are of emotional origins rather than based on facts or logic."



It does seem to describe many of the posters. I want Bush out too, but I don''''t have a psychotic obsession about the guy.

They''ve ignored good reputable customers and while recruiting any and all business regardless of risk. Let htem fall it''ll be better for those of us who acutally pay our bills, are credit worthy and responsible. As it is now, we''re paying for the high risk, our taxes pay for their programs and our high fees and interest rates pay for their defaults.

Let these bloody global banks fail and maybe they will learn to regulate themselves. We can all use small local credit unions and let these lowlife scumbag banks fall.

I''''m facing major liquidity problems along with millions of Americans. Can we get the same deal on a bail out? Thought so.

Less than 10 years ago, they were ripping off investors (taxpayers). Now we are bailing them out.
