Regulators seize Florida's BankUnited FSB
BankUnited's failure marks 34th bank to close so far this year, will cost FDIC $4.9 billion
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Regulators on Thursday shut down BankUnited FSB, a struggling Florida thrift whose closure is expected to cost the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. $4.9 billion.
The failure of the Coral Gables, Fla.-based bank represents the second-largest hit to the FDIC's insurance fund so far -- the costliest was last year's seizure of California lender IndyMac, on which the FDIC is estimated to lose $10.7 billion.
BankUnited FSB is the 34th federally insured institution to be closed this year, and the biggest. The FDIC on Thursday took control of the bank, which called itself Florida's largest banking institution with about $13 billion in assets as of May 2
Hey, my Senator said this wasn;t supposed to happen!
Dodd does not expect ‘many more’ banks to fail
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday said he does not expect “many more” banks to fail, in the wake of last week’s implosion of IndyMac Bancorp.
Dodd, interviewed on CBS’s “Early Show,” said that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation head Sheila Bair “has indicated there are problems” with other banks. The senator added that he is “more optimistic” about mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than he is about some lenders that engaged in these “very, very bad mortgages.”
Sometimes think a broken clock gets it right more often than Chris Dodd


Comments
Of the 55 bank failures that have occurred since IndyMac
32 have been in red states, and 23 in blue states. How is that possible, given that red states are the fountain of all virture and right thinking in this nation? Guess which state had the most bank failures - blood red Georgia.
Another NextRightNonsequitor
The post was about Dodd predicting bank failures were essentially over, not a colloquy on geography. What part of Dodd being clueless are you disputing?
The late WF Buckley and I are from CT. Does that makes us both liberal whackjobs?
NRN might I suggest you spend more time on your struggling business and less time doing what you are not very good at. I'm already paying into trying to close the $1.8T budget hole. I recall you said your business was earning insufficient revenue to participate. Listen to VP Biden. Be patriotic and work more, blog less.
One of the most interesting things about the Right
is their pathetic need to try to stiffle dissent. I beleive it is because you need so badly to believe in the fantasy world that you have constructed, and opposing voices that remind you what reality is REALLY like disturbs your ability to cling to your little mental constructs.
Projection alert
This is the second thread in a day where you tried to hijack it with your liberal talking-point babble. when you say:
"is their pathetic need to try to stiffle dissent"
You are projecting.
Dissent stiflng is occuring on the Left. Attacks on people for daring to critique the President, Fairness Doctrine, shouting down conservatives on campus who comes to speak, Gore's refusal to debate global warming and the Democrats shutting down a critic of Gore from speaking to Congress (Lord Monckton), attacks on political speech via campaign finance laws, the list goes on.
Have you ever noted or acknowledged the dissent suppression by the left, the liberals and the Democrats?
You are a hypocrite. You are also a troll and a disruptor whose very existence here refutes the statement you are making.NextRight tolerates quite a bit by allowing you around.
Your utility here is mainly as a reminder to NextRight of how prone liberals are to self-delusion, projection and double-standards.
How very gracious of you
How very gracious of you!
BTW, that is twice in 24 hours you've brought up the Fairness Doctrine. Which Obama opposes. But you have to keep to talking about it anyway, don't you? Given the meagerness of your armory.
Obama opposes gay marriage too
supposedly ... and Obama is against military tribunals too. Or is it 'was against'?
The MAJORITY of the House Democratic caucus is in favor of censorship-style regulations of the radio broadcast media.
seems unlikely
cite evidence?
I look forward to seeing your proof for that statement
I look forward to seeing your proof for that statement.
Democrats against freedom-of-speech
"I look forward to seeing your proof for that statement."
Happy to educate:
115 Democrat idiots (the majority of the Democrat Caucus at the time) in the House voted AGAINST freedom of expression when they voted against a bar to Fairness Doctrine in a vote in 2007:

That same week, Senator Durbin came out for limited free speech by reimposing this draconian rule:
The Democrats now know that the Fairness Doctrine is a political loser, so they are trying to abuse and distort the freedom of the media through other means - in particular, the Orwellian and racist concept of 'diversity':

Different means - same old anti-free-speech intolerant goals.
I guess you need to "educate" yourself about the meaning of
I guess you need to "educate" yourself about the meaning of the words "majority" and "proof", given that what you are citing is from the PREVIOUS congress, and worse yet, 115 was NOT a majority the Democratic caucus at that time - and of course, is even less of a percentage now, given the punishment dished out to the Republicans in the last election.
Here is a fine example of the Right's tolerance
This just in:
Oh yes - you guys got the whole public discourse thing down pat.
Hello
Dissent is patriotic. Spouting off -topic nonsense is just dumb. So is playing victim. If you have a coherent defense for Senator Dodd By all means let's know what it is
he's just following the freedom's truth thread
bitch at freedom's truth if you want, but at least this time, Nando isn't being totally tangential.
Nando's Threadjacking of Chris Dodd article
Wrong. The article was about Chris Dodd. Nando threadjacked with his off-topic self-righteous hypocritical BS and I merely responded.
I can understand the desire by lib trolls like him to change the subject from Senator Chris Dodd, corrupt enabler of the subprime mortgage crisis and Countrywide fiascos.

you're right
i'm wrong.
I hope they like paying taxes like Bob Jones does.
because they're going to lose non-profit status and rightly so.
