Can someone explain to me in great detail how this is a bad thing? Hasn't the banks proven to be incapable of doing their jobs right on several levels?

This centralizes even more power to the politicians.  Something that is quite detrimental to a true republic.

Banks give out loans. To start and run a business you need loans. If the banks are state controlled the state also controls who gets loans.

Therefore nationalizing banks pretty much nationalizes the whole economy.

Um so isn't that a good thing? So we don't get into the mess we're into now with screwed up loans? Wouldn't the politicians want whats produces the most money for the country so that they could stay in office and raise their pay?

If you're a communist you'll like a nationalized economy. If you believe in capitalism, freedom, apple pie and that stuff not so much

If there was a terrorist attack within six months of O's election I would blame the Bush team for not stopping it, not O.

AQ usually takes years to plan something big.

no sir... If anything happens now... it's all on BO... we didn't blame Clinton for sleeping on Bin Laden when he had the chance to take him out... fair is fair... you take the good with the bad as president...  and on that note... I pray to God the terrorist animals don't attack any country including the US...
Love is the answer
