Bank of America did what!

I dont know if its just me but did anyone see Bank of America buying out Merrill Lynch. They must be looking at this for the long term because this sure isnt going to help them in the short. I used to work for BofA and I do know for a fact that they were looking to get a little more market share on the Investment side of banking. However, why did they go and buy a company that was struggling as much as Merrill Lynch. I was with BofA when they bought out CountryWide. I was completely shocked at that buyout as I am with this one. It seems that BofA is just looking to grow to quickly. I believe they need to take a more conservative view of things and look more at quality instead of quantity. I'll do some more research and try to get some details on this sale. I hope it works out for them, even though I am with a competitor who is blowing the doors down on there company right now.

Next, I wasnt going to talk much tonight but I saw a picture on a friend of mines blog. (Thanks Ron). Oh by the way Ron, Hillsong is the best. Lets go see them in Australia sometime. Anyways, back to my rant. The picture in question is of a certain presidential candidate of whom I will not mention his name because he doesnt deserve it. Lets just say it wasnt the Republican candidate. What I saw really just stuck with me. It showed this certain person standing in front of an American flag during the national anthem. Everyone else has there hand over there heart except this one certain person. If you really look at the picture and the body language, you can tell that this person does not even want to be on stage at that specific time. How can we vote for a man who does not respect the flag. Maybe it would have been different if it was the flag of any European country. We need to check his pockets for euros anyways. I hope the people of this country really take to heart what is going on with this election. I have never been nervous about an election before but this one has me terrified that our country is going to make a huge mistake. Thats it for now, have a great day.

And remember, trust the Lord with all your heart and he will guide your way.

Go Hoos

Rock on Matt! Loved your comments on looking in his pocket for Euros!!! That was GREAT!

We'd need to have a Barak-sized fundraiser to get to Australia though LOL! I would LOVE to see them lead worship!
