Citigroup holds the mortgage on my house that is now dropped in value by 93K and its value is 60K less then what i owe. My wife lost her job i cant make the payment, they are debating weather to allow me a short sell or to forclose and come after me.
They took the bail out money and did nothing to help people in the same situation i am in.
They stold the money and now are going to destroy my potential to get a loan in the future, that in turn will bog down the economy. These folks are the worst kind of criminals.....

(Richardlew here Rafer) I really enjoy you all there at the Morning Express, Bob and you are like my younger brothers when they get together. Robin is the one that starts most of the things happening there, I have been watching CNN when it was CNN2 since 1982 when it first starte, NOW i really enjoy getting up in the morning watching the news, be it bad or good you all put your feelings into what you do and that is much more then any other news program does. TO bad that Glen Beck is back, he should of stayed at FOX news, but that is just me, i really don't like people that put people down all the thime. Jennifer has changed a great deal since she started, Bob to with this Chat room now we all get to see and hear for you all, are reg. people, I see that Bob really doesn't like people talking about him but he will just have to ignore them. You rafer just take it on the chin and go on. I not saying Bob doesn't but heck hes from NJ ha! well my friend you take it easy, and keep the peace.

Face it we were duped one final time by the Bush admin., namely by Paulson! First it was to go to the real cause of the problem: helping homeowners with their mortgages. Obvious bait & switch. What needs to happen now is that the 2nd half needs to go entirely to the homeowners. Once they are stabilized then money will begin to flow from the right direction again.

No...this sort of "marketing" is in fact nothing more than an ego stroke for the company and probably does not work.
While it probably does guarantee good seats at every ball game for bosses and some perks for their employees, if my gut feeling is right, the public finds this sort of thing unnecessary, in poor taste and wasteful. When a company needs to put their name on a stadium in order for them to support a cause such as a college, they have forgotten the meaning of being"public spirited"! When they buy a professional ball team a new stadium as part of an advertising ploy they have forgotten that the public is not stupid. In both casing I find it offensive and crass.

They are now "public employees" and they need to get used to it. http://www.typepad.com/site/blogs/6a010534a77e35970c010534a77e39970c/post/6a010534a77e35970c01053660becc970b/edit

If I need a bailout who do I need to go and see...Our government is doing worst then ever bailing out one after the another. I persoanlly thing $400 million and $125 million for sponsor the sport team is out of wack. We can use that money to invest in something or hire the employee who have lost their jobs. There should be a salary cap on all the CEO and top officials of the company. I can go on and on but some serious actions are to be taken by the congress.

I truly cannot belive that CitiGroup and AIG have received such a large percentage of the $700 Billion bailout plan without any type of oversight. Yet for auotmakers they must justify every cent and receive a CZAR to oversee the "LOAN". Citigroup and AIG shoud have their executives receive $1 compensation and oversight into these large expenditures. They should have every transaction scrutinized just like any business being audited.

Correction for Joan LaGrega comment. After Nardelli (sp) tried to put Home Depot into the tank, and the Board of Directors (read Directors as IDIOTS) gave him a PLATINUM parachute, the board of IDIOTS at Chrysler ( or was it Cereberus) decided to see how long it would take him to destroy Chrysler.

On another note. The leadership of the Senate Republicans has apparently forgotten that we currently have military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan where terrorists are trying to kill them. As Chrysler, Ford and GM (and their thousands of parts suppliers) provide major amounts of military equipment, and repair parts, shutting these major manufacturers can be viewed as aiding and abetting the enemy. Isn't this considered TREASON?

Instead of giving the banks and the auto industry and all these big wigs that spent all our money, more money. They should give us the people the money so we can pay our cars and houses off then the banks and the auto industry would be getting the money in the way they should be getting it and then we the people can get our stuff paid off, get out of debt and be able to start saving and taking care of our families without scrimping.
