This is important info, but it's just not going to come forward before the debate; let's hope it gets out Friday night. Meanwhile we have a feeding frenzy going on in Washington and NYC. The Dems have focused on limiting executive pay as their key issue in the bailout debate. Huh????? What about fraud committed by those who lent on false premises, and without adequate capital? What about the failure of SEC and treasury dept officials to carry out their legal responsibilities? The tone on this needs to shift. What about regulation of hedge funds and deriviatives, which have driven up the markets and caused the gap between real value and market price, creating the volatility that has made small investors so miserable and so lacking in resilience?

Unfortunately, the morons who support McCain, do not give a damn about what McCain does, or who his team is. They are making the same mistake, like they did, when they voted for Bush twice, and obviously don't care about the repercussions. What does it say about the intelligence of the American people? McCain constantly attacks Obama, and he is dumb to think that people are not going to find out that he is harboring a lot of lobbyists in his team. McCain and Palin have already started out with a lot of corruption surrounding them. Imagine how bad things would be if they end up in the WH.

Until a week ago, McCain thought Fannie Mae was a stripper he used to date.

At U.N., Bush Reassures Leaders on Economy By STEVEN LEE MYERS and GRAHAM BOWLEY 4:20 PM ET
The president said that his administration was taking “bold steps” to staunch the U.S. economic crisis.
American taxpayers should not be owners of CRAP equity in order to allow Wall Street pigs to continue managing the high-value equity. Don't make Americans hold the bag.

TOP DOWN BAILOUT - - NO WAY!
BOTTOM UP BAILOUT -- YES!
Otherwise Wall Street speculators are saved, American taxpayers and homeowners are SCREWED.

In 1929, Wall Street bankers jumped out of the high-rise buildings rather than face financial collapse.
2008, the Wall Street bankers still have their yachts, race cars, expensive vacation homes, and corporate jets.
And they're NOT jumping out of the windows at Wall Street because they aren't holding the bag. American taxpayers are.
IF there are not many many many criminal prosecutions up and down the chain of shaky banking deals (and soon), then we have proof that the American justice system has either collapsed or no longer represents all Americans.

The people jumping out of the windows in 29 were the dumb asses that had been tricked into buying the worthless investments created by the fat cats, the Mellons, Chases, Rothschilds, Morgans, Rockefellers, etc. No fat cats were harmed by the 30's depression just the fools they had defrauded, just like today. These pricks know how to do it to you REAL GOOD.

Wild weasel; if you ever put any money in the bank? The bank probably lent it out on "repo" agreements from Fannie and Freddie. You were always the chump left holding the bag. You just didn't know it...... Do you want your bank accounts defaulted on when your dumbass bank president takes the whole bank under on a chapter 7; or do you want the Federal reserve to dilute the money supply so that you can get your stash when you need it? That's a yes or no question....

Yeah, I'm sure they were all impressed.
