Where are you Obama?


Obama has outshined Gaddafi's speech

in the U.N. grandstanding on a spectacular

scale. However if this is the role of a president

then we need to look at records and popularity

standings.


The fact is that a lot of Americans no longer

have faith in president Obama. This will be

illustrated in the next few days in Pittsburgh.

The Obama pick-up-stick health plan as

presented to the people is unstable as a bill

and will undergo such changes that one will

not recognize it as the presidents bill. At

their worst past presidents have generally

presented bills that are more or less

complete and not subject to vast changes

from the original bill.


At the present time Obama is becoming

eminently qualified to be an anchor man on

Fox or perhaps take over David Letterman's

slot. Should the president spend more

time on the myriad of problems that need

imediate attention and stop "grandstanding"

in public venues? Should not he

spend more time securing the future of

The United States economy? Banking,

unemployment, "the war".


these are questions to be answered.

Mr. President show us your nose to the

grindstone in the oval office. We know

you now and as they say in Brooklyn,

"We got your number".

Get back to running the nation!

YOUR NEXT TELEPHONE BILL MAY BE A SURPRISE

There seems to be no ethical boundries for what banks do in the new

American economy. My recent statement included a notice on page one.

Now we all know that you pay little attention to what is on the first

page and move on to the account information which is not only the

normal thing to do but habitual. on page one was this notice below

some account information in small type.

Due to the new American economy I read my statements carefully.


"Effective November 10, 2009 in order for the Bank to better service

your account or collect any amounts you owe, we, our affiliates

and/or service providers may from time to time make calls and/or

send text messages to the telephone number(s) associated with your

account, including wireless telephone number(s) that could result in

charges to you.


The manner in which these calls or text messages are made to you may

include, but is not limited to, the use of prerecorded/artificial voice

messages and/or an automatic telephone dialing system. If you do not

want to receive prerecorded/artificial voice messages or automatic

telephone dialing system calls on your wireless telephone, please

contact us at 1-866-211-6980.

One should question such nonsense when there is no clear

prior notification of this change in account policy. I am not

a banking expert but my extensive knowledge of banking

with Citi Bank, Chase, Bank of America, Bank of Tokyo, and

various other banks gives me suspect that a notice of change

in policy should be clear. This might be a violation of banking

laws since no notification or change was clearly noted.


In the last 30 years I have always received notices from the

aformentioned banks when there was a change in the terms of

any account. Read the above carefully and note that you will be

paying for any call made to you for any reason. Which could be

almost any thing including auto advertising.


This is a show of real balls. I use a vulgate term because I consider

this a vulgar policy and an invasion of privacy. Not to mention the

fact that you are paying for the banks calls and messages to your

mobil devices and your home phone.


Not only do some banks use our tax money for a marvelous

recovery but now expext the customer to pay for their

operating costs. I have posted an e/mail to this banks directors

and will keep you informed of the reply which I do not

expect to arrive.


What bank would have the nerve to do this?

Look for the telephone number in this posting.

THE CALL IS FREE...SAY HELLO!


SURPRISE THE BANK!
