The article discusses the behavior of the chief executive officers (CEO) of eight banks, who were questioned by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee during a hearing about how they've used the taxpayer money they've been given. The CEOs' behavior from a public relations perspective is examined. It is considered that arrogance on the bankers' part is also a factor of the financial system failing because people who have done well in finance generally believe they do well at everything.
