  1. All nice points, except this:

    "He has a smart and sane mind and I applaud him."

    Seriously? He makes one decent stand and all the sudden he's the voice of reason? Let's not get crazy now.

  2. Politico are a bunch of ex-WaPo liberal hacks and muckrakers wearing a nice suit. Not to be trusted on anything. Even the White House doesn't trust them, according to some reports.

  3. Disappointing but totally predictable. This is NPR. What did you expect?

  4. What did everyone drink tonight? First Geithner is a voice of reason, now Obama is the man? I don't want to get too off topic, but Obama's Afghan policy is not welcomed by anyone who seriously wants to win the war, i.e., telegraphing time tables. And wall street bailouts weren't welcome by conservatives, I don't know about the GOP, for which I don't care a wit about.

  6. Keep in mind that Pelosi is #2 in the line of secession, behind Joe Biden. LOL.

    This says it all about American politics that Biden can earn the #2 spot, and Pelosi can be the #3 heavy weight in this country................ if it wasn't true, you couldn't believe this crap.

    Not getting crazy here...what I am saying is that he advised Obama on TARP...which will be a success....already has...gubernment has made $11B off TARP already and more to come. The TARP did save a collapse IMO (Bush started the TARP btw).

    The point is, he is the "saner" mind in this 3 tiered monopoly (or 3 headed monster) we have to deal with right now. The dem's and libby's control it all...until Nov 2010.

  10. Actually we have to hope theyu have their hands busy with C&T, Healthcare, etc until Feb, at which point Congres starts their campaigning and they won't be pushing anything seriously, not matter how hard Obama may prod them. Now to Feb is the danger area.
