lilwonders I have to agree with the previous posters. They should have had to go through bankruptcy. That is what it is there for. As for him getting the money? Well if it was in his 401k or pension plan than there is not a lot we can do about it. You can not go around...

He is our president. Give the man his respect! Besides, he hasn't even been in office 100 days. I think that given time, his economic policies will work. I like the way he doesn't let big business get away with murder. He...
