    Riiight. It's definitely black people who are the financially responsible ones. It's not black people who are weighing down the system with their consumption of government entitlements and purchasing shiny things they can't afford to live the "hip-hop lifestyle".

    @SteppingRazor: Why are you acting like Flavor Flav and Tracy Morgan are working to fix Citi?


    Come on. In the same way that Sarah Palin and Britney Spears are different types of people who happen to be white --- there are different types of black people.


    Not everyone is on the hippity hop train, you know.


    Boyee!

    Incompetence is color blind.


    Just look at Stanley O'Neal who was one of a group of people directly responsible for bankrupting Merrill Lynch (while playing golf around the clock and earning an eight figure salary).


    Or Carl McCall the former NY Comptroller who approved a NINE figure annual salary to the chairman of the NYSE.


    As for Parsons my friends in senior positions at Time Warner told me he was a "people person" with strong social skills but he did absolutely nothing...NOTHING....to turn Time Warner or AOL around. It mystified them how he earned so much for doing next to nothing of consequence.


    And on the topic of Citigroup it is absurd to me that Citigroup was still trying to take over Wachovia and everything else while running its existing operations into the ground.


    The only solution is to let women (including Michelle) run America for a one year trial period.

    @Carmine A Ramdeer:


    and can anyone explain to me how it made sense to put Parson...who has no banking experience...in charge of Citigroup? Couldn't they find someone like the guy who runs TD Bank (formerly Commerce Bank) who knows what they are doing?

    You're new here aren't you. It's because Parsons is a close personal friend of....


    ...Vivi Nevo


    Now the real fun begins. Citi, AIG, and then BofA. Citi and AIG are inseparable since some ridiculous percentage of AIG loans came from Citi. Rumors are starting to surface that AIG is being used to funnel money to China. Anyone know if the AIG Liddy is related to G. Gordon Liddy? They both come from Jersey. Ed Liddy has an interesting background.
