Talk about insane. Now Soros can make all the excuses he wants to explain Obama's fully endorsing and pushing this diseased plan, but fact remains he has been at minimum incompetent on this issue. Your saying 'well he was seeking a consensus' that is why he has going the wrong way. i would say to Mr.Soros "This is the greatest financial crisis in U.S. history and i am sure if you were the new President you would would have taken your course of action and the consensus be damned. i have read you authorized biography and your dear brother Paul states 'People say of how brilliant my brother is but i have witnessed his rising through the years, and apologize for being crew, but my brother is where he is because he had gigantic balls when he made decisions'. Well sorry George but you are saying Obama blew this because he didn't have the Cajones to do the right thing but went wimp mode and sought a consensus.So stop being an apologist for someone that flushed your views on this down the toilet. See it for what it was, he gave those of your wisdom THE FINGER . And this on an issue of huge magnitude, not something trifling---we the public will pay the cost. Obama loves to present the view he is the next Lincoln, he reads all those Lincoln books, well he has read the books, but he isn't Lincoln. Lincoln would have taken a stand here, as he was a man of acute intuition , and study hard, he would championed those of your side, he would have fully grasped Cash for Trash immediately and seen such action would NOT be done. Lincoln would have had these words presented in an address to the people your own words "You have to recapitalize the banks for them to function. As it is, we are nationalizing the debt of the banks, but not the banks themselves" Lincoln was a man of acute common sense. He would never have let this blatant travesty take place. Mr.Soros, but fact is, Obama did let this travesty take place. Face it don't excuse it. O yes do you not know there is a huge right ultra right wing movement attacking both you and Obama as damned commie socialists. Those attacks wouldn't have intimidated you, but it seems to have intimidated Obama. Hmmmm, is this the seeking of a consensus or what??? Think about it Mr.Soros. Max" ***************************************************** ASIDE Regards the ultra-right wing 'he's a SOCIALIST-KILL!!!' (perfect example the SI poster madtyrolean ) is as uneducated and fanatic group of people that don't know what they are talking about, they are the FLIP SIDE of a fanatic Stalinist. Dylan Ratigan said 'the worse part of this crime going down is how the Republican/Democrat shouting at each other is just a big trap that let's this keep happening '. Me: All i can say is that beneath all the noise, i see a coffin with the word "Democracy" written on it.
