Over the last couple of weeks I have had a number of calls from community bankers in search to find someone to participate their loans due to “the too big to fail banks” not lending. As a result, we community bankers now have a greater number of requests for loans over our legal lending limit. This gives us an opportunity to show our strength to the communities we serve and to Washington. Maybe when the media shifts their agenda, they will identify with your blog and those of this type.

If you read the press or look at the packages being passes by Congress and the President, they all target the major money center banks - who do need the help - and ignore the rest of us - who may be doing better. Even SBA falls into that trap. By the way, this is my personal opinion and does not reflect an official corporate position on the subject.
