I was up early and saw Armey. He had the perspective that I have and was saying things better than I could.
Did you catch his comment on Pres. Hoover, in respect of Pres. Rooseveldt under cutting him. Did you catch the name of the book, about Hoover, he suggested the Senator should read?
No, I missed the title. I record Squawk Box each morning, but deleted it, otherwise I could have gone back to find out.
John Harwood (the political reporter for CNBC) was the one who he was talking to about Hoover. I thought I saw his jaw hit the floor.
And just for the record, Armey was arguing with Sen. Bob Corker, R-TN on the bailout. CNBC does have that clip on their website.

Read “The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes for good insight into the subject.
I’m still wearing my Fred’08 T-shirt.
Why, oh why, couldn’t John McCain be less “populist” in outlook?
