So That President (previously known as “That One”) wants the U.S. to adopt the “Swiss model” for banks.
That’s what the Financial Times reports:
Barack Obama, the president, who has tried to avoid panicking lawmakers and markets by entertaining the idea, has recently moved more towards what he calls the “Swedish model”
Ignoring for now the bunch of RINOs that are reported to be supporting this, I must say that I’m not surprised that Obama favors the Swiss model for banks.
After all, all the mob connections he has have been using Swiss banks for years.
Oh, wait. “SWEDISH” banks. The SWEDISH model. That’s different.
If it comes with the Swedish girls volleyball team, I’m all for it.
Wait… there’s a difference?
Is the Swedish model about 5’6″, 120 lbs., blue eyes, blond hair and loves men? Hmmm. I prefer Celts and Italians, but, Basil, this leads to a story with an unknown source:
The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men Have Jobs. She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. “That’s nice,” she thinks, “but I want more.” So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. “Oh, mercy me!”‘ she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store!
Please Note:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a six story New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
What the difference, the Euros love their taxes, especially the Swedes. Sweden is a Utopian example for Libreals around the world. Hey, I have an idea, let’s move ALL our Libreals over there and then they can live in their cold, high-taxed paradise.
(I would say nuke Sweden, but it just seems too easy. j/k)
Ah, Basil.
I am drunk. And as of today unemployed. Thus my aforementioned intoxication. I sorely wish I had not liquidated my numerous Swiss bank accounts. Thank God for the stash of gold nugget and Wild Turkey ‘neath mny bunk.
Hey, you know who I blame for this?
Guess!
(No, not Basil, not FrankJ, not Harvey)
It goes from the sublime, to the ridiculous, to the extreme. I can’t feel surprised any more.
Who knows? Maybe “Sven’ the Swede will actually do a loan with regular people, unlike the gutless bastids here running for cover….

Would you be surprised by the just plain nutty? By nutty, I mean that the dollar will be replaced by Super-Duper Magical Obama Bucks, which will then be replaced by acorns (Get it?) borrowed from squirrels. Or maybe the Super-Duper Magical Obama Bucks will themselves be acorns borrowed from squirrels. Either way, I’m sure there are bright minds working on it.
The sad part is that I’m only 3/4ths joking.
Two words; AB BA
[Is that because your gravitar looks like a “Dancing Queen?” – B]
That’s a funny joke Jimmy. One wonders however, if women are so hard to please, how the human race has managed to continue on unabated so long.
A friends grandmother remarked after being asked how she stayed married to the same man so long:
Some mornings I wake up look over and think, “Good heavens what was I thinking, how can I stand one more day”. Other mornings I wake up and look over and think ” I’m the luckiest woman on the planet”. I figure as long as I have more of the latter days than the former everything will be ok. Besides I assume your grandfather has the same thoughts…. ain’t none of us perfect. We just try to be the best we can.
Men, women we’re pretty much the same. Masses of insecurities covered up by hubris and bravado or not. Maybe we should give each other and ourselves a break and stop expecting perfection out of entities that won’t be perfected in this life. Maybe later…………..maybe not.
The Swedish Model bank is well tanned and buxom.
The Swiss model bank has a moustache, but is much smarter.
Shame The One, Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and all the rest of the Democraps and RINO’s never approved of the “American” model of banking…you know, the one that built this country and worked so well before they started screwing with it.
No Frank… knowing liberals, it’ll come with women who look like Alfred Nobel.
Sorry to hear that, PaleoMedic. Lemme guess who you’re blaming: spacemonkey!!
And seanmahair,
Maybe survival and female pickyness are connected. They say that women’s noses can sense the health and suitability of a man’s immune system. And that’s just for starters!
True Story about 2 Swedish neighbors I had in Brazil:
I am trying to relocate to southern brazil. To that end I have made extended stays there at a little place with 4 casitas ( small houses ). Alot of students who study at the local university stay there long times also so you get to be friends with them.
On one side I had guy from Portugal and a guy from Norway. On the other I had 2 guys from Sweden. We all became friends and would hang out in the others house sometimes. The Swedish guys would just get in your fridge and start eating. No asking no nothing! The guy from Portugal was the great grand nephew of the last dictator of Portugal. He was a upper crust kind of guy. He would say in his portuguese accent
“I have friends 20 years they come to my house and if they are hungry they say “Oh Luis I am very hungry….may I look in your refrigerator for something to eat? …..These Swedish guys just go start eating everything”
I concluded from this that indeed Sweden is socialist !
FYI: Females are picky here in the states because the dating market has so very few attractive women. I had a brazilian girlfriend come here ( and yes she was beyond hot ) and she said:
“I’ve seen soooo many good looking men here……and they are ALWAYS with uuuuugly women”
Where as in southern brazil what you find is a factory of beauty. The guys there say they fall in love 2 times a day. I personally experienced this when I met a very lovely girl who later in the conversation I found out was getting her masters degree in engineering. She was so appealing I waited a polite amount of time and asked “so do you have boyfriend?”…….she pointed to her ring finger and said “No…I already have a husband” It is the first time in my life I ever literally wanted to cry because a woman was not available.
To finish the point: Where there is a surfeit of beautiful women they must comport themselves in an agreeable way. Thus my strong impetus to live in southern Brazil. And if you saw the girls there your eyes would literally pop out. Mine STILL do.
Swiss refers to Switzerland, folk, not Sweden.
You mean there is not a Swissden? Swederland? Damn. I have to see if I can get the airlines to take back some tickies. I was going to tour there. I had heard they wear wooden undergarments there and I just had to see the dykes.
What does THE OBAMA care about banks I think THE OBAMA keeps all his money with that muslim underground network.That way we cann’t see how much of the 787 billion dollar stimulus goes into his shared account wth Usama
Desert Elephant:
Yep, that’s kinda what we’ve been talking about. Obama seemed to have the same difficulty as Jessica Alba a couple weeks back distinguishing Switzerland from Sweden. They’re a bit different.
It’s true.
I’ve seen it on maps.
And the spelling’s different.

Why Swedish banks instead of Swiss banks,Because Isreal & Swiss banks involved in steal organs and money’s Laundry
Since Swiss Banks:
1. Deal in Bloody Money.
2. Exposed the Clients’ Names and Accounts to protect
themselves, so Swiss banks lost the Secrecy.
So,
I believe the world must keep his money in Sweden.
Sweden as Honest, Humanity Place and clean Banks
See,Top Sweden newspaper says IDF kills Palestinians for
their organs.
A leading Swedish newspaper reported this week that Israeli soldiers are abducting Palestinians in order to steal their organs.
.Boström’s article makes a link to the recent exposure of an alleged crime syndicate in New Jersey,Isreal & Switzerland..
The syndicate includes several American rabbis, and one Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, who faces charges of conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for a transplant.
Also, U.S. Attorney Ralph Marra Jr. said at a news conference:
“The rings were international in scope, connected to Deal, N.J., Brooklyn, Israel and Switzerland”
So,The Swedish Banks must be our choice now, we cannot eat bloody money or we cannot provid our money to Switzerland to use in bloody laundry process.
Also the scandal of UBS Swiss bank is additional factor to be far from Swiss banks after they exposed the client’s names to USA to protect themselves, so where the secrecy of our accounts in the Swiss banks.
