Yeah, I agree...it would have been far better for the feds to rescue Lehman rather than ever enacting TARP.

Soros is the most evil, heartless, destructive man in the world. I would think he is the Anti-Christ, except the Anti-Christ is supposed to be attractive and Soros is mega-ugly. The money he has made destroying other countries’ currencies is funding communist propaganda in the media, entertainment, and groups like MoveOn.org. His tentacles reach everywhere. I also believe he is the one pulling O’s strings. O couldn’t even handle the intro remarks at his press conference yesterday without his teleprompter! O can’t think for himself; he’s just an empty suit. O is Not Ready For Primetime and someone has to do his thinking for him. I believe it is Soros. Soros has said publicly that he wants to destroy this country and his organizations are doing a good job of it right now.

Rush is exactly right.
This is an interesting thread. More to come I’m sure...
The $500 Billion run on money markets occurred within 1 hour. The time frame was 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, on Thursday, September 18, 2008. When it became clear that an injection of $120 billion could not halt the hemorrhage, trading was suspended and the damage was irreparably done.
Your economically sophisticated and logical reasoning is quite sound. However, the event has many illogical, but equally sophisticated aspects that are inexplicable at the moment, including the precise timing and the identities of the prime movers in the event. So, it is not yet "pretty clear what happened," except if you are speaking of a damage report.
However, given George Soros's long and criminal history of currency manipulations conducted against governments other than our own, certainly an investigator would be amply justified in making him "a person of interest" in the case. Were I George Soros, I would be extremely grateful that those who investigate him will probably be Americans, not French, Indonesian, or especially the Russians.
..... No matter what, it would have happened eventually....
A reasonable assumption on your part, but an assumption none the less. It is an equally reasonable assumption that a coordinated blow was delivered against the financial system of our country on 9/18/08.
We can investigate, but I don’t think Soros orchestrated this for political gain. For days, from about September 11th on, the street was waiting for the announcement of a bailout for Lehman...it didn’t come. When Lehman fell, the ripple effects began. I see panic on the part of investors and some manipulation by Buffet and others to try to calm the waters, it just didn’t work.
(I) OK
(II & III) I sense your mind is somewhat open, why not wait and see what happens in I?
Of course, in American law, Soros' sins in foreign jurisdictions remain off limits, except as a subliminal reminder those deeds of which this former concentration camp kapo is capable.
Objection: Sustained: Strike that. The jury is to disregard KB's prejudicial remarks.
As a follow-through I believe this is an ideal issue for Republicans and Kanjorski and other Democrats who can be communicated with to be asked about.
If the mailers and callers who communicated about the pork issue were to request as a highest priority of an inquiry into this incident it would be difficult for many to oppose such an inquiry, which would have two aspects:
1) Were any existing laws violated, and
2) What can be done to make sure it can never happen again?
“Same thing”
Nah.

Ping-worthy, imho !!

Timed for the election?
Timed for the election?
If this is true - if President Bush was played for a fool - and the economy was taken to the brink of disaster for political gain - heads will roll.
Where's the FBI? Pull the FBI off Madoff and on to the real financial crime of the century.
Thanks for the ping!
My gut tells me there are a number of political, wealthy leaders around the world that want to bring the USA to it's knees.
IMHO, Soros won this election to an empty suit that Will follow his directions. Soros got everything he wanted.
A liberal, black/white American with a domineering wife who will follow directions as instructed.
One more tin hat theory..Soros and Pelosi are using O as their puppet.
JMHO
