CNBC's Dennis Kneale adds of TARP: "This is like doing business with the Sopranos. The Sopranos give you a loan and the next thing you know, they're moving in and taking over your store."

      Don't ask for public money if you don't want public cscrutiny. the public wouldn't abide that! Ford saw the options and chose to take their chances. GM & Chrylser along with many a Bank looked at the same options and chose what they thought thought was the path. Of course... GM and Chrysler were denied, even though the BANKS (who got their money!) were largely responsible for their current woes, but they still lobbied hard to have the gov't in their shorts. So stop crying for these bastards. They have their options,a nd they're pretty lucky that they've been getting what they ask for.

      I agree Eddie. I will also say that if I had billions and loaned them out, I sure as hell would want a say in who will run that company while they are using my money to stay afloat. And if I saw a private jet wanting to be bought, I would tell them not while you're using my money to run your business. Problem is Kudlow and these loons never want to admit these banks hosed themselves.

      Idiots....and they say black people were paranoid when oppression of the man had a huge uprising....this is insulting to history itself for them to make these comparisons.... the man is way more plausible than their paranoid communist "overlord looming on the horizon crackpot idea". So I also apologize to those who have a legitimately been suppressed by the system except for Pat "Racial Loose Canon" youre an idiot also ...it will be a cold day in Hades when the white man is the most oppressed or discriminated anywhere on God's green earth.

      Ya hear that sounds...thats the wind going into Kudlow's ear and right out the other end......well he still thinks it's the communist overlord talking to him.

      TARP is like the Berlin Wall. Do talking heads ever run out of overblown analogies?
