Thinking about it a little more, Buffett's comments are pretty interesting.

He's about as close as we're going to get to a disinterested expert observer on the necessity of a bailout.
He's got a lot of cash, has avoided pretty well any involvement in derivatives, and absent wholesale failure of the banking system would probably benefit if a few banks went under, so when he says:
Last week will look like Nirvana if they don't do something
I'm inclined to take the statement at face value.

Equally, he's apparently happy that striking a hard bargain on the price the Treasury pays for toxic debt is an acceptable risk.

I might have to ask you to share that Fed chairmanship.
