George Bush just gave the country to 0 for $700B for Paulson and his cronies.
Settle down.
Go on pile on Bush for the next four years too. Give it a break.
Nobody likes this bill - but you are not the only one affected by the bill - the whole country is. I don’t expect a president to sit by and do nothing when the financial markets are crashing and I do not expect McCain or Bush to jump through the continual hoops yelling at people, throwing the country in the ditch and jumping to your or the other FR latest directive to vent your rage.
This is a very serious problem and whether you think so or not - the job of the president of the U.S. IS to seek the best action - good or not so good - to keep the financial markets running. We cannot afford everyone on welfare, we cannot afford drastic financial turmoil if there is a way to pick a path to a solution.
It may not please you. It may not please the others - but the country has to be protected from financial ruin.
So quit your little tantrums and grow up and realize that a president is not only looking at your personal welfare but the welfare of all businesses, all markets, all families, all financial intersts the U.S. is involved in worldwide.
If a bank fails here - lo - that bank has international connections and dealings. What makes you think those international dealings are unworthy of being secure?
Now - since he may not be the super human that can drum up a solution on a minute’s notice, try and realize that he is not set on destroying all conservatives, all everything - he is a man dealing with the politicians you have put in office by your decisions to come up with a solution that just might work if we are blessed.
Get a grip and wake up.
