Obama's advice to bankers

Barack Obama, the US President, has repeatedly asked the banking institutions to lend more loans to people and small and businesses. He has also talked tough on many occasions and has asked bankers to be part of uplifting the US financial crisis. He has also held the banks responsible for creating such a situation.
