BofA just "doing the right thing" in Illinois - like their Governor???

First, you need to know about the story in Illinois about BofA bailing out Republic Windows and Doors. Then, there is a delightful side-bar conversation about the Gov. of IL.

Back to the task at hand, I wonder which President-elect "influenced" this bailout decision by Bank of America. Did. B. Hussein Obama get the windows and doors for his new house from Republic? Worth checking into.

This is not a shot at the union (that's another discussion for another day). This is a shot at Bank of America for making a very, very bad business decision.

This causes one to ponder. If a person with enough media contacts could cause enough of a stir and simply, they seem to be able to demand money for one's business.

That's not Capitalism. That's lazy, entitlement crap!!

The following content is from Bank of America's own website:

Values

The following five values represent what we believe in as individuals and as a team, and how we aspire to interact with our customers, our shareholders, our communities and one another.

Doing the right thing
We have the responsibility to do the right thing for our customers, shareholders, communities and one another.

Trusting & teamwork
We succeed together, taking responsibility for our customers' satisfaction.

Inclusive meritocracy
We care about one another, value one another's differences, focus on results and strive to help all associates reach their full potential.

Winning
We have a passion for achieving results and winning - for our customers, our shareholders, our communities and one another.

Leadership
We will be decisive leaders at every level, communicating our vision and taking action to help build a better future.



But remember, BofA was just "doing the right thing" there in Illinois.

The way BofA is acting with the G-money they have, they are not acting in the best interests of you - Joe Sixpack Americans around the country, not just in Illinois.

Accountability
Here is a link to the BofA "code of ethics" page on their website. Read it and decide if you think they are in violation of their own policies.

You can get the BofA Board of Directors mailing address by clicking here to send them a message of your approval or disapproval of their corporate behavior. That may take a bit of time.

Corporate Contact Info
So, if you want to reach the BofA corporate office, click here, then ask for Kenneth (Ken) D. Lewis' office. Tell him how you feel as an investor, customer, etc.
