When It Rains, It Pours

To My Fellow Seakers:

The financial markets are a mess...chaos, failures, depressed prices. Congress is reflective of America. Why do readers of this service think Congress sets these issues aside? Calls AGAINST this are 100-1. I know you all think they're idiots, but believe me, they can count phone calls. You should hear what voters are saying.

The electorate looks at Paulson and thinks Wall Street. They have little confidence in Bush, and frankly he hasn't given Americans a reason for this level of federal involvement. Americans also hear a "worbly" professiorial Bernanke. They don't understand these guys. They think...this is a bail-out for Wall Street. They do NOT see this as anything involving Main Street.

This article is naive. I stopped reading after the phrase...everybody thought this was a done deal. This was never a done deal...never. Any statements by Dodd and Frank were only one side of the story! When Senator Shelby takes himself out of the negotiations on the first day and the only Republican present on the House side is just an "obverser," which Barney Frank knew...there are no negotiations...there is no deal.

Bush let Paulson and Bernanke run this show. That is another in a long list of mistakes this President has made. McCain really did come back because he knew there was a vacuum here. And, while we're at it, Dodd and Frank didn't do Obama any favors...they've been leaking details of this plan constantly. They probably told Obama they had a deal.

What we've lost here is valuable time because of mis-calculations by the managers of this process...all of them.
