Hey, Obama's just being forward looking - he's already looking forward to needing re-election financing. I voted for Obama because I thought the pendulum needed to swing the other way. It has in the realm of environment, but it's just stuck pointing to "protect the rich boys" when it comes to financial repair. I'm terribly disappointed. Not surprised, certainly disappointed... BC

>>Whether it is right or not, the decision has been made to salvage the banking system.<< Any number of banking analysts hold that there are a great number of very solvent banks. In their minds, it isn't so much a matter of the banking system collapsing. It is more the notion that that part of the banking system located exclusively on Wall Street needs to go. I find Obama very guilty of choosing to support Wall Street banks over the healthy ones. Jim Rogers supports the notion that 'we are taking money from the good banks/citizens and giving it to those who screwed up, so that they can go compete with the good banks.'
