The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has acknowledged its role in Operation Choke Point and is taking dramatic steps to reverse its policies in targeting legal and legitimate industries that are disfavored by the Obama administration.
“We’re very pleased they’ve acknowledged their wrongdoing and they’ve accepted our suggestions to put in place measures to stop this activity,” Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-Mo., told The Daily Signal in a phone call this morning.

The FDIC is still trying to shift the blame to the banks rather than itself, Obama, and Holder.

is power. PERIOD
Just like fighting back from the Clintoon anti-gun hysteria...it will take a few years to clean up the mess.
May Jehovah God give us strength,and awaken American Christians...to the work that must be done to save
our republic for our kids and GRANDkids...
Cruz-Walker 2016.

This kind of thing is exactly why we needed and need a Pubbie majority, even if some are RINOs.
It’s Gruenberg that signed off on this. The man’s a penultimate bureaucrat. Sheila Bair would have told Obama to stuff it.
