The GMC Terrain I4 gets delivered tomorrow.

Great suggestion and I will add my thoughts about the interior ambient lighting to the original review. As far as taking a photo, no I didn't get an photo of the interior at night. My camera is just a typical consumer point and shoot, so I'm not sure how good of a pic I can get.

Interesting move Mr. Whitacre.

you'd be surprised....

Oh look. Someone slapped a Buick grill on a Freelander.

Profit maximizing entities like Citigroup for example? Or perhaps one of the many companies that is expecting tax breaks for off shoring labor. This deal isn't a handout. Handout implies the government isn't getting the money back. Again, this is a loan. Since you're so worried about money being in the hands of private entities, that's exactly what the government did. It loaned money to a private entity it thought was both a good investment financially and boosted a fledgling industry it sees as a good cause. Venture capital has all but dried up.

I like this old one with the "Born from Jets" insinuation. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You're right that the U.S. government would have less of a say in the operation of the banks once TARP is repayed. That's one of the reasons why the banks are rushing to do it. Some of the banks are repaying the TARP funds even though they aren't really healthy enough to do it. That's why Obama is coming out swinging. In the past 2 weeks banks have been rushing to pay back a large amount of TARP before the year's end. The banks are also trying to fight his financial reforms.

You are correct in that sir. However, look at that chart while keeping these three things in mind: 1. M3 has increased around an average of about 4% for 2009.... how many trillions did the fed print this year? If they hadn't we'd be well in the negative. As it is we're barely above water. 2. Personal savings has increased for the first time since before I was born. The amount of money in circulation right now is smaller over all because people are saving more. This can be good for the economy long term, but it'll hurt right now. 3. The reason we're just barely at 4% increase in M3 despite the Fed presses running on 11 is the massive contraction in credit. Businesses operate on credit. That credit is gone. Eventually, the fed will have to turn off the taps. That will have to be made up by the banks in terms of credit or else we fall into depression. Follow why Obama was beating on the banks this week?
