Corbat's progression:

Priveledged Conn. boy, Harvard, Soloman, Smith Barney, Citi...great to see some outside original thinking taking over the troubled firm.

no crazy hedge fund guy with no experience in banking? not even a lawyer who only specializes in understanding everything this business does is illegal? or Mr. Buyout Tycoon who never saw a financial services company that wasn't worth a fortune and saw banking as "no different from running a supermarket"? i'm confused. this guy appears to actually have an interest in the business model...

Well his resume includes "The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation " ~ so, just the kind of guy you need when things are snowballing downhill in a hurry (not to mention bleedng Harvard crimson)... Just what we need ~ more loans to people wanting to open up wine & cupcake boutiques...

really? i didn't know Citi had a boss for the last 30 years. Certainly not since John Reed...and even people complained about him as too...ahem..."technologically oriented." From the "foreign department" as i recall. Was it Brazil? Well at least someone saw the financial crisis coming:

Here Petty Officer Corbot..now that everything is under control I'm going to step down and you can take over the ship. Don't pay attention to that gapping whole in the balance sheet, the ship has been built to withstand anything. If you need me I will be taking  a small crew in  this boat here, you may not be able to contact us due to radio interference. I'm sure the ship is in good hands.

And another thing,

Why do all the city types, the likes of blankfiend, geithner, paulson, corbat, greenspan, you get the idea, why do they all look so fucking feminine as men?  These cocksuckers dont instill a great deal of manly qualities now do they?  They all look like bully victims from the 3rd grade.

Especially that dwarf cunt bernankinstien.

Lets get some blokes who at least look like fucking blokes up here, is this part of the problem?  Metrosexuals could have a part to play here folks?  Indecisive etc????

It's because that's what you look like after you exit the locker (that you were stuffed in ~ with a wedgie up your buttcrack) after a couple years in school...

Well played francis,

Just because these soft gets at school couldnt handle the big "boys", is there any need to take it out on the rest of humanity after their fathers got them a job we could only dream of????

I call that an inferiority complex, if you know what I mean......     ;-)

Hello LULZ mate,

Why did nobody come!!!

They did, up this fuckers arse, thats where, and now this shithawk will require a bailout as soon as his next bonus comes due.  And the likes of me and you will gladly pay without even thinking about.  See, thats the beauty of capitalism, we can make money as we like because when we drop the fuck out of a company and loose 90% of that companys value, the fucking idiot taxpayer will make up the loss.

Dont you just fucking love it mate???
