I'm thinking this comes under the heading "Don't hold your breath Barack" but think I'm so cynical I think it's all been moved to the the Bush Family Swiss Bank Account. Anyway, here's hoping.

He's going to be asking for greater oversight for how the money is used, I assume. I noticed that Citi, who isn't interested in working with their borrowers to renegotiate loans, does have the money to buy a brokerage.
I'm cynical, too. I suspect he wanted it done know so that if the whole thing disappears into thin air he can say that it happened under Chimpy's watch.
