A Republican presidential candidate is saying that he “sympathized” with the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Or at least with their concerns about a few big banks dominating the economy. “When you have six banks that collectively have reserves that equal 66 percent of our nation’s GDP when, just a few short years ago, it was 20 percent of our nation’s GDP and if any one of them fails, we all go down?” former Utah Guv Jon Huntsman said. “That’s not sustainable.” Sorry Jon, the media has already decided Mitt Romney is going to be next years McCain. And the only thing unsustainable here is your ridiculous quest to someday be President.

I have a better chance of becoming Olivia's husband than Huntsman does at being elected President.......Sorry Mitch didn't mean to steal your woman...
Becoming Olivia's husband????? Damn Notsosilent....that would really be taking one for the team.
Oh how Obama would love to run against Romney! He's like the white Obama, fake, slick and story-changing, with a failed health care plan to boot. This is why the media relentlessly names Romney as the obvious candidate. Personally, I like Cain. The U.S. is in deep doo doo no matter who we elect, but at least he's not ANTI-America, which would be a nice start.
I no longer keep my money in a bank. When my gubment check hits the bank I draw all of it out CASH. And NO I will not vote for a liberal supposedly 'conservative' like a FLIP-FLOPPING Romney. Last week he sucked up to the unions and the next day he retracted what he said. I bet he walks around with his shoes on the wrong feet too.
Sorry media. The people have chosen to ignore you and vote for whoever they want.
Ron Paul 2012, anyone?
Gee - Canada has about 5 banks (Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, ScotiaBank, Bank of Montreal, CIBC, along with a few minor ones) with many, many branches across Canada - seems we came out pretty good in the 2008 downturn and are still doing just fine. So it is probably not the domination of six banks!!!
