Did Paulson Punk McCain on Purpose?

With all the tools and time at Secretary Paulson's disposal to solve the subprime crisis, why did he wait until 5 weeks before the election to stage a brilliant piece of political theatre with the Democrats?

[gusopol3]

his buddies at Goldman-Sachs were the next target.

There must be massive skeletons in the closets of Bush and McCain. I see no other reason why they let themselves be Barney Frank’ed.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to be feared."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Self centered narcissist partisan fools, that is what you are.

It isn't about your precious partisan fears, nimrod. It is about the country and the actual economy and financial system. Responsible experts do what they actually need to do when they need to do it. And your ignorant tinpot demagogues don't matter, compared to that. To his credit, McCain is mature enough to know that and just get his duty done, before going back to the kids games.

He had to wait near the election to create a ‘crisis’ in order to get the Banker Takeover Bill passed. No matter who the Repub. candidate was.

Remember back in the primaries the economy was fine, healthy, fundamentally sound. Lol.

It does make Paulson’s behavior appear suspicious, and I would like to know his motives.

Unfortunately, this subprime crisis was the perfect storm to hit McCain’s campaign. It took the wind out of his sails and gave Obama all the necessary talking points.

I just saw Rasmussen on Fox. It was all doom and gloom for McCain’s chances.

Was there a crisis in banking of epic proportions right now ? Yes.

Did Paulson wait far to long to see it coming ? Yes.

Should Paulson be marooned on a desert island ? Yes.

The next time we have a tea party in Boston I’m going for No Taxation Period.

[nevergore]

Paulson was the ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs....

Paulson is good friends with Warren Buffet...

Warren Buffet just bought $5B into Goldman Sachs.....

Warren Buffet is the Obama campaign’s financial advisor.....

Any questions?

THe October SURPRISE In Sept to Help Obama !!!!!

[Sacajaweau]

I’d check Paulson’s Swiss Bank Account.

[blackie]

He backs Obama!!

[ncalburt]

Ras polls give OBama 6-7 pts based on a guess in his cooked tracking polls 3 weeks ago ????
Ras has sucked down the Obama media kook aid .

[ex-snook]

Bush had two Treasury Secretaries before Paulson. If they don’t do what Bush wants they are gone.

[A_Former_Democrat]

The timing of all of this is very coincidental.

[Sacajaweau]

Two crisis...First the Oil and gas...then this both...leading back to the Dem agenda.Too bad people are too stupid to realize that the Dems rule by FEAR...

Gore's "sky is falling" program is a good example...

He's about as "science oriented" as the mouse in the corner....

Eek....MOUSE IN THE CORNER!!!!!" Bye!!

[realcleanguy]

Why did Paulson “leak” the information to Obama about the meeting before he arrived that night at the White House? It seems this whole thing has been a set up from the beginning.

[COBOL2Java]

"Henry, make sure you time this event carefully!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

[reasonisfaith]

“He backs Obama!!”

I think you’re right. What a sissy.

But Paulson loses no matter what happens, like Obama loses. Because they ride the empty vessel of deceitfulness. No heart, no soul, no balls.
