This is a good idea - Leaving the DemocRAT lawmakers out of it is an even better idea.

This past week, ol' GW has been acting like a genius. His speech yesterday got scant attention, but he put Lieing Lieberman in his place.

GW is on a roll. Hope he pulls the GOP along for victory in November. The country need it.

I know Freepers don't want to hear this, but Bush is adopting the "I feel your pain" technique of the Clintonoids.

Neither party feels your pain. They both caused your pain with legislation bought and paid for by corporate, banking, and underwriting lobbyists during the Clinton years.

The American investing public were fools, and fools and their money were quickly parted.

Sorry to deliver the bad news. :-(

I guess I just don't get it. What the heck does GW have to do with "Stox Woes"? This is a typical "Clintonian" bid to grab the "I feel your pain" political capital in an election year.

I don't blame GW for the crooks in the corporations that ripped off their stock holders and sent the market tumbling, nor do I expect the government to "fix it" other than enforcing the laws currently on the books and seeing to it that those CEO's spend some time in Leavenworth with some big dude named "Bubba" as their cellmate. But of course that won't happen.

More political theater. It is akin to making the current bunch of highschool dropouts at Airport Security government employees. It is all for show and quite transparent. And unfortunately many folks will just eat it up, and nothing will change.

Oooohhh. I read this and quickly felt a visceral reaction, not a favorable one, at this Clinton-like political posture. I blame Bush a bit for this, but mostly I blame the general population that sucks into this fraud and makes it effective.

It will be televised and feature everyone from small business owners to union members, ethicists, CEOs and economists

Just exactly who is getting invited to this summit?

I'm afraid the stock market might be to George Jr. what supermarket checkout scanners were to George Sr.

It will come a day before CEOs must personally vouch for their company books.

This is all part of the government propaganda campaign designed to restore "confidence" in a corrupt and broken system, and give cover to politicians. "Now, that we let the crooks on Wall Street take all of your saving and retirement money, what can we do to help you and restore your confidence?"

GW should stay out of the further fleecing of the public. I'll start investing again as soon as Lay, Fastow and Skilling are doing jail time.
