HOLY COW, people! Doesn't anybody with any common sense SEE what is going on in this country? With bank closings, our economy is slowly crumbling and slowly being taken over by Arab nations and other nations who now have the money to bail us out. This country will become a third world nation before we know it. Please visit the American Solutions web site and sign the petitions to save this country!

Susan, you must be as rightwing as they come. "Its all their fault" is your mantra. Get your head out of the sand and look around, your not the only one on the planet

WAMU has been the worst company to deal with. Every year they send me threatening form letters regarding my windstorm coverage, even though I have had the same coverage for 8 years. I update their website, they still send me form letters. You call them, and their reps are incompetent. This is the way they treat their good customers, being that I am one of the fortunate to be able to make my payments on time (so far) and have never let my insurance lapse. They seem to be quite mismanaged in my opinion, and I plan to never do any further business with them, once my mortgage is paid off.

Wamu was in such a rush to close its doors in the layoffs and was so sneaky about it, that many loan officers ended up keeping the company laptops given to them. "There was no place to return them". In light of the layoff, no severence, and no notice given, I'd say it serves them right.

As one of the employees that was laid off this week, I am largely dissapointed in the handling of the situation. No warning, no severence, don't let the door hit you on the way out, and Merry Christmas. I will never utilize any of their financial products or consider working for them again in the future. Time to move on, gladly.

WaMu was a terrible company to work for and they deserve all of the misfortune that befalls them. I pity those who are employeed by them, they are the one who will suffer.

Yeah right Dave..."finiancial realignment"...that's a fantasy outlook. Reality check reveals that this is a planned implosion. The world bankers (i.e. new world order) have this as part of the plan (with $ drainage in iraq) to take America down a few pegs to line up with the rest of the world. They can't control people when they have wealth (and guns) so they let us get fat, dumb and happy with credit out the wazoo, then they pull the plug...pop the balloon, whatever you want to call it.

This is not about subprime, this is about option arms. Most of WAMU's business is option arms with AAA credit clients.

There is supposed to be a Global Order (why ithe Big Guys in the US would sell us down the river I dont know) I have heard the Muslims are buying up Citibank, is this true? Well, I can see how they will be able to take over this Country as well just like they are ooozing into all the rest of the globe and doing so with with our money we pay them for their filthy oil.

On the news (not Fox) last week, they reported that 97% of mortgage holders were making their payments on time....They did not specify A paper vs B paper, it was all inclusive.

"I have heard the Muslims are buying up Citibank, is this true?" Wow, Susan, "the Muslims", well thanks for atleast capitalizing the M. "the Muslims" only purchased a small amount Susan. This is what it is, economies have globalized. entrepenuership has flourished. We have been spoiled that last few years. Once every 10 years, we need a cleansing ('87, '97, 2007).

If they're so strapped for cash, why won't they accept my terms of giving them what I can on my mortgage. If I can't cough up to their terms, they're willing to foreclose...how stupid can this be? I'm willing to pay my original monthly amount if they'll just move my missed payments to the end of the load...ya know - work with me - like they say?? You're better off renting...Why should I pay $450,000 for a house I bought for $192,000 - unless you've been brainwashed. We've been duped people!
