			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     Barack Obama had had it with &#8220;fat cat&#8221; bankers.  He&#8217;s also concerned that <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/30500.html" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politico.com%2Fnews%2Fstories%2F1209%2F30500.html','banks+are+returning+TARP+money')">banks are returning TARP money</a> so they can pay large end-of-year bonuses without government interference.</p>
<p>     I&#8217;m not sure if Barack Obama realizes this or not, but these banks are private businesses.  Once they pay back TARP funds, what they do with their earnings is none of the government&#8217;s business.  Of course, in Barack Obama&#8217;s socialist-leaning world, everything should be the government&#8217;s business.</p>
<p>     Maybe it&#8217;s me, but shouldn&#8217;t we be happy that banks are able to pay funds back in full?  I know it&#8217;s popular to pile on those who are successful, but this seems rather foolish.</p>
