It was a well run regional bank that got caught with fannie and freddie losses. We gave billions to GS and other big banks, but couldn't spare a 500 million for this bank? We are the losers in a coup. Park National Bank applied for TARP funds and was denied. It was a well run regional bank that got caught with fannie and freddie losses.

Let's not forget that the Great Depression was just a regular depression until Hoover applied the consensus economics of his day by cutting government spending and protecting a "strong" dollar. If we had had a Roosevelt/Eccles in 1929, we never would have had the Great Depression or the accompanying bank panic of 1933. We have Obama/Bernanke today, and there will be no bank panic on their watch. Considering the number of banks that failed in the S+L crisis/1990-1 recession, this *is* nothing.
