A Correction To Our Earlier Bank Nationalization Story

Obama Favors A Swedish Model To Be In Charge of Bank Nationalization

In an earlier story, we here at Bizlevity suggested President Obama was thinking of implementing the bank nationalization template used in Sweden to nationalize U.S. banks.

That was incorrect.

In fact, President Obama is considering using a Swedish model — specifically, former Playmate Victoria Silvstedt, to be the new banking czar.

We at Bizlevity sincerely regret the error.

Top Ten Things Overheard at the Senate Confirmation Hearings for New Bank Czar, Victoria Silvstedt

1) “Okay, show of hands — who wants to vet her?”

2) “Ms. Silvstedt, what would you do with a bad bank … a very naughty, naughty bank?”

3) “I don’t know about credit, but she’ll damn well get something flowing…”

4) “Senator, it doesn’t appear as if there are any bad assets here…”

5) “Mr. Chairman, I’d like to suggest we move this to a ‘closed door’ session.”

6) “You idiot! Who’s going to even ask if she paid her taxes?”

7) “I’m going to have to excuse myself, Mr. Chairman, I’ve got my own physical crisis going on here…”

8) “Now, that’s what I call a stimulus package….”

9) “When I asked if we could see your new Volvo, I was talking about your car, Ms. Silvstedt … but the Committee would like to thank you, anyway….”

10) “Absolut Confirmation.”
