<<<If this represents change, I sure don't see it. We were led to believe Obama would reach across the aisle and be the President of all. He sure isn't acting like the President of those who believe in free market based principles, just the opposite in fact. And he sure isn't acting like responsibility matters, because without investigation and indictments, undoubtedly the same people who ran these organizations off a cliff, will be in charge of them tomorrow and being lavished with tens of billions of dollars more of taxpayer dollars to waste. >>> Bernanke, Paulson, and most conservative economists think the economy is in crisis and action has to be taken. Obama has offered his solutions. Republicans have a duty to come up with alternative solutions, but so far all they have come up with is to say no and preach the same old sound bites of less government. Obama is more than willing to listen to any republican proposal. Where are the republican proposals to get us out of this mess?

Who is to blame for the current conditions. Who was in charge all these years. Clinton at least left the budget in tow when he left the WH. Tell me. What is with the SEC when they cannot even find fraud with a guy like Madoff and there was a whistle blower. Why all these bank failures because of excessiveness... without safeguards and reasonableness. Everyone was out for the big buck and the devil take the hindmost. Now the piper has to be paid. Who was in charge ? Not Obama or the Democrats.

>>It may be true or it may not be true. What is true is we're proceeding down a path of assumptions based on nothing more than opinion aligned to ideology. Partisans thinkers do that. We're spending trillions of dollars without so much as an investigation. The media and liberal Democrats are pushing spending legislation forward as fast as possible, without truly understanding the root cause of the problem.<< Michael - Thank God we have non-partisan thinkers such as yourself, who continue to point out how the whole problem is the fault of liberal Democrats, while letting Republicans off the hook completely. I guess you must have already conducted your own investigation. - Allen
