If my good buddies get into trouble, I’d probably end up going to jail for obstruction of Justice… -BG

Seriously, I didn’t mean my remark as a ‘character’ issue. Bob Prechter in his ‘Socionomics’ book goes through several examples of how politicians (who, admittedly, do befriend rich people, be they scoundrels or not) tend to get thrown out of office during bear markets. During bull markets, on the other hand, politicos can get away with almost anything. I thought it was very interesting that George W was able to avoid being blamed for the economy’s and market’s troubles for so long. Now, that he very unwisely got himself involved, this is about to change. If he had asked for my opinion, which (so far –g) he hasn’t, I would have told him to stay clear the best he can from the markets. I realize that he must speak about the economy, but still, he doesn’t have to use his pulpit against the corporate ‘crime wave’. He should have let someone else do it.
