The Wall Street bankers are in Chicago this weekend for the American Bankers Association conference - and they've decided to do one good deed for the people of Chicago while they're here. They are helping to renovate a house that had been foreclosed... by them.

It's a nice gesture on the bankers' part, but a completely empty one. In the time it took them to help fix up that one house, banks were kicking 1,440 families out of homes across the country; that's one foreclosed home every 7.5 seconds.

It's one of the many, many examples we've seen this weekend of Wall Street bankers being completely oblivious to the pain they're causing millions of American families. There are plenty of people here in Chicago to help remind them, though. In the room next to me, hundreds of taxpayers are starting to gather right now. They're just a fraction of the thousands of Americans who will be protesting the big banks' greed outside the ABA conference over the next three days.

There's a definite buzz in Chicago right now. Thousands of Americans are finally getting their chance to stand up and say "enough" to the greedy Wall Street behavior that's hurt our communities for so long.
