HAINES: You’re telling me you’re happy having these people looking over your shoulder?
CRITTENDEN: I have to tell you Mark, we are appreciative of the investment that the government has made in us. You know, they’ve made a significant commitment to the company. As you know, $45 billion.

    Really, as a bank CEO/CFO who wouldn’t want the genius of Maxine Waters looking over your shoulder.

    Let’s see, “50 cent” is taken, how about “60 cent” – that should be the stock price when they finally show him the door…
    I think he looks like that little green dude on the Geico commercials, but I couldn’t make that work…

    If you were the head of risk management at C, wouldn’t you want to find a cave and never come out?

    My Vikram is red and swollen. Any suggestions?

    If he really appreciated his new government partners, he’d fly them all down to Vegas for a rewards & recognition event.

    “…they’ve made a significant commitment to the company.” Seriously? That’s the same bullshit explanation our relationship manager at RBS tried to sell me(I work in ‘industry’) when I asked about the UK government taking a 70% stake in the company, which is now 95%. Since when is nationalization a good thing from a bank’s perspective? Nobody wants to be ruled by the retards in Congress.

    I wish the government would take care of my red and swollen Vikram. Just a little assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Bess, nice tag line – Admiral Denton would be proud. Next time a C executive appears on CNBC, they should have to wear those old striped POW pajama suits that Charlie used to use.

    @2 – I thought VI.p and k lew were bringing back House of Pain?

    Actually, given the news and what he had to communicate, Crittenden was pretty good.

    If the administration does not understand the problem, why are we expecting Magic from its solution.

    @22: your post contains zero information. Palin could have written a more useful piece.

    “Serious commitment”? Is that like the ol’ “eggs and ham breakfast”… the Chicken is involved, but the Pig is committed?

    For the sake of accuracy, shouldn’t Citi rename itself Bank of America, cuz you know, it’s kinda owned by America now.
    Or maybe just nationalized Bank of America, merge it with Citi and then no one will be confused.
    Am in the midst of wallpapering my office with AIG and Citibank stock certs…………cheaper than wall paper these days

    This is painful. Vik has been misleading to investors as recently as this past week. How are we going to look our spouses in the eye and explain that we are broke? Where is my revolver. Goodbye cruel world.
