“What’s strange is that Buffet says he supports Obammy”
With apologies to the Beatles:

I say yes, I say no
I say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
I say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why I say goodbye
I say hello

When will Buffett be producing his own David Brooks and regret his decision to back 0bama?

Why? Obama is making him richer every time he or his lackeys open their mouths.

Most of the American people do not need Warren Buffet’s stamp of approval on issues.

When the Card Check issue bubbles to the surface, people will be outraged.

“Buffett says the financial system was within days or hours of collapse last September.”

I still would like to know who was behind the run.

Put your money where your mouth is, Buffett - then maybe we will believe you.

“They also showed clips of the several times Obama mentioned he gets econ advice form Warren”

Obama only accepts the advice that fits with his agenda

“He is for taxing the rich so the poor can have more.”

but he’s not a fascist. he doesn’t believe govt should control the inputs and pick winners and losers.

Not exactly a conservative but he is complaining that O is trying to do too much at once.

Smart enough to know O's PO-ing people by the million at a record rate.

Warren B. doesn’t know whether he is afoot or horseback. Somedays, hell from hour-to-hour, he changes from liberal to reason and back again over and over.

Someday he will finally become insignificant, assume room temperature and go back to the earth.

The man may be a finincial whiz, but in the things that matter most - family and fidelity - he’s bankrupt. Disowning children and grandchildren? Wife-approved mistress? Give me a break!

It was the Lehman collapse then AIG and money markets were draining, all within a day or so. I believe the problem was the markets expected Lehman to be saved/taken under like Bear was. When it wasn’t, chaos ensued. The govt has created uncertainty in the markets and continues to do so. The run on Lehman and the mm accts was more than one person.
