"In Merrill Deal, U.S. Played Hardball" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123379687205650255.html

its was a wsj article about two weeks ago. I'll post the link & quote

this is bs. The government forced them to buy merrill. BofA didn't have a choice. BofA would not have problems right now if it weren't for that acquisition. If the government nationalized the company after screwing it like that, that would be a terrible precedent.
