Whoa, hold on there partners, you're in such a rush that you just may have made a huge mistake. Under estimating the anger of Americans is not that wise. Ask Hirohito. Our goal here in this country has always been to work hard and develop wealth by saving and investing in our future. You may have just given away our future to a bunch of crooks on Wall Street and panderers on the hill. We out west don't really cotton to this so called bailout of the rich and arrogant. I see nothing that will free up main street in all this, no easing of car loans or any other consumer advantages. Assuming that by re liquefying the rich guys and in turn the shallow politicians who have helped rape these financial institutions all will be well is like the terrorists blowing up the World Trade Center and assuming we won't retaliate. This little fiasco better work and work great or you can kiss your cushy jobs goodbye. For the Democrats to try to blame this all on deregulation is about as sane as Clinton saying he didn't have sex with that woman. McCain called for an investigation 2 years ago and Barney Frank and Senator Dodd blocked it saying that it was well and under their control. When the administration attempted to warn of the volatility of Fannie and Freddie they blocked that also.

The Republicans are not totally clean in this as well. They have had their collective hands in this cookie jar too. Not as deeply as Senator Dodd, Obama and Congressman Frank but in there just the same. I wondered what it would take to get some type of non partisan activity on the hill and now I know, just cut off their money source.

For Barak Obama to say his hands are clean is just as ridiculous. He hired the two main perpetrators of the demise of Fannie and Freddie to be his financial advisors, that is until they got too hot to deal with then just like he did with Reverend Wright he divested himself from them. Obama is the number two recipient of these monies from Fannie and Freddie. I guess some of you just believe that he didn't have sex with that woman therefore you can assume Obama didn't have his hand in the jar either.

This is going to be a rocky road for the next few months as we the people you borrowed from (using your language not mine) wait to see the results of your action. If all of a sudden as I anticipate it will, the market keeps dropping and the dollar shows a continued weakness and you are forced to come back for more, I can tell you all heii will break loose. In all honesty, I sincerely hope you are right and all gets back to normal as I only want what's best for this great country.

And that's my opinion,
Don
