Well, the President likes to give everyone a chance. You may not agree with it, but that is his character. Arafat was given a chance. The Taliban were given a chance.
They chose unwisely.
No, this will not be The Bush Depression, because the administration has refrained from dumping on the Clintons. Now that there is something that can be proven, I imagine that the SEC (who hired lots of extra people early this year) and the DOJ will be quite busy. This is pretty easy to explain in a campaign commercial, if the media refuses to cover it.
One idea for a commercial theme: the Rats don't care about the economy as long as they can gain power.
Is this why Drudge is reporting that the NYT will be reporting that conservative Christians are p****d at Ashcroft? Starting to discredit the DOJ and get in on the internecine fighting going on in in our Party?
Once again, you supply the missing dots: W was also bipartisan enough to bring Rubin in after the attacks to help stabilize the market. The SEC hires info could mean that they were on this prior to today? Is that how you read it?
