It seems the Dems want to blame the President and the Administration for ALL the problems. Well, one thing that was left out is the media. For the last 6 months or more, all we’ve heard from CNBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc. is “we are in a recession ....most Americans think we are in a recession... this could be as worst at the Great Depression”. I wonder how much this contributed to the problem we are facing now.

My guess: zero.

Great point- the entire US Banking system depends on faith and belief that your deposits in a Federally chartered bank are 'Safe'. When the DNC Media drill us everyday on the lie that America is in a recession, then by god a recession is created when Americans stop buying and hunker down. Simply put - the media runs America and if they want a recession to help their DEM masters (remember the Iraq war was not lost which is what the Dems were counting on for election 2008) then their task is to trumpet the recession/depression mantra 24/7. Surprised when it actually arrives? As for banks - we have not seen the last of this crisis. Luckily people are not running out to the banks to get their deposits/savings like they did in the 1930s.
