OK people, here is the first real sign of government owned banks. Instead of hiring the best person, they put a condition on the money. We will soon see loans given to crappy companies and individuals by force, and loans denied to people that they deem politically incorrect and in need of discipline.

You are cuckoo. I would use stronger words but will refrain
You are a freakish caricature of uber free market ideology
What exactly do you have against hiring Americans?
There are tons of American MBAs who want these jobs.
Surely the Bank of America can find some very competent ones in this pool
In an economic downturn you don't import foreigners to screw them

This is one thing 0bammy is doing right

0bammy does not deserve credit for this.

Groups such as FairUS, TeamAmerica, JobDestructionInfo, NumbersUSA, etc. contacted their members via eMail and gave them information to contact their congress critters so they could ‘encourage’.

I agree, there are so many well educated qualified unemployed Americans, if your are using tax $$ confiscated from Americans - Americans have the right to say hire Americans.

Apparently, half of the responses on this thread have been dedicated to telling me I'm an idiot. I can only conclude that Freepers are now in favor of government control of American business. When you go to a bank and ask for a loan and they ask you if you are a Republican voter and you have to produce your last voters registration to get the loan, then you may see the wisdom in my idiocy.

All of you completely missed the point of my post. I don't give a rat's ass who B of A hires as long as it's the best person for the business. Do you want some dope head with a nose piercing to get the job just because he's American? That's not capitalism. Government control of business is called socialism. When you accept one rule from Washington, get ready to accept more.

When The Tarp was being discussed, there was even a move to have a Union representative placed on each BOD that took the money. What the hell does a union thug have to do with running a bank?

You people are the reason ACORN will be getting billions in the next stimulus. At least the money will be going to Americans?

Do you really want the government to decide that you can have a loan if you buy a GM car, but go screw yourself if you want to finance a Toyota?

The point of the post was It's not the governments business how a private company runs the business. The next response from the idiots that think I'm an idiot is, "If I am giving them a bailout I want strings attached." My response to that is, "Exactly! We shouldn't be bailing out private companies!!!" Unless of course Freepers have now crossed over into Karl Marx land.

Now who's the effing idiot? Either you can't read, or you are a socialist at heart. Hire American if you want to, but if it's mandated by the government, then you aren't a Free Enterprise Capitalist. Get ready for an avalanche of Barney Franks "strings" attached to the money. Most of which, IMHO, Freepers won't agree with. Then I get to tell you "I told you so". Let's see.......You don't get the money unless you adhere to Kyoto requirements, You don't get the money, until you have a windmill on your roof, you can't have any money if you home school you child, you can's have money if you have more than 2 children,( in China it's one child), you can't have money because you own an SUV, you can't have a loan because our records show you own a gun, You CAN have a loan with zero interest because you are black and have a 500 credit score, Oh excuse me, we already did that one.

I've seen it all now, Freepers are protectionists. I give up! We might as well be DU now.
