Once again the Fed want's to overstep their legal limits:

NEW YORK (AP) - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is pressing for a management shake-up at embattled bank Citigroup Inc., putting CEO Vikram Pandit in the hot seat, a report said Friday.
 
The report from The Wall Street Journal cited people familiar with the matter.

"We are confident in our management and confident that we will continue to position Citi for a return to sustained profitability," said Chairman Richard Parsons in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. 

Yes, because replacing the head of a company in trouble is the best solution, especially with no plan to move forward. Just look at what happened to GM once you did that. Now they are in bankruptcy court, the Union has really taken over, and they are going to make cars no one wants. 

That is just with the auto industry though, you do that to the financial industry it can be disastrous. Citigroup is one of the healthiest banks right now. Vikram Pandit has done the best with the tools he was given and given the current situation. I say if you are going to blame anyone blame Charles Prince. Hey guess what, we did, he is no longer the head of Citigroup.

Why does the government think they can fire people who hold positions with
PRIVATE companies. In my opinion that is absurd and the government needs to stop
meddling in private businesses. That is what got America in this mess in the
first place. Laissez faire. That is the policy that really matters.
