I am excited by Bank One's powerful franchise. Together, we will help our stock realize its value as we continue the momentum of our three strong lines of business and continue to rebuild our large credit card business.

I am aware that there is a great deal of public interest in the Wal-Mart Bank application; however, I believe it is important that the application be processed in a manner that is consistent with current law,

I am just excited by it all. The Bank of Ireland have already brought a rugby pedigree to our table and we are delighted it is continuing. They are key sponsors of Ulster Rugby and there is a tremendous amount of experience there. They have already brought a lot of guidance especially the way we should market things.

I believe the voice of the people is clear and yet our laws appear to accommodate the individuals with the largest bank account, ... The actions being displayed do not encourage confidence in our county government.

Certainly, although this is not good news for the central Aroostook County economy because the jobs at MBNA obviously were good jobs and very important to our overall employment picture, I'm not at all discouraged about the possibility of a different type of operation finding that facility suitable for call center usage if the intent of Bank of America is to dispose of the facilities.

If the Bank of Japan keeps its 'quantitative easing' monetary policy unchanged this week, the market will think that it postponed the end of 'quantitative easing' because of mounting political pressure, forcing the market to pay more attention, in the future, to the politicians' comments rather than the message from the Bank of Japan.

He was a very poor central bank chairman. He was passive in the face of what will go down as a very destructive bubble.

He's had a lot of success. He's proved he can play at a high level. He's also seen the good and the bad - he's been through that. He's a guy that's going to support Donovan, and if needed, to play. He'll go in and play well, and bank on all the experiences he's had.

He won't be changed, the way he approaches the game and his teammates. He has too much character to let long-term security affect the way he goes about his business. He puts the price of winning above the price of his own bank account.

He was the more dominant of the two in their business decisions. If he said, 'Let's go rob a bank today,' she would go along. It's not something she would do by herself.
