    Do you have any of your own commentary or are you going to just keep posting these same BS videos?

    I think these videos are very relevant, and if McCain doesn't come out with all of this after the vote on the bailout, he is an idiot. Regardless of Democrat or Republican, EVERYONE responsible for resisting regulation of Fannie and Freddie should be outed, censured (the least), investigated, and hopefully prosecuted. Raines first. M.W. is a certifiable incompetent and Franks is one of the most unethical persons in the Congress. Who we really need in a time like this is Bill Clinton. He had his personal problems, but he was one of the most knowledgeable Presidents on the economy ever.

    I don't, but I see why people can get lured into thinking such. It's a lot harder to make a video about credit default swaps and reference obligations, which is a lot more relevant.

    Astro turfing is BS videos. Make up enough stuff and some people might believe it.

    This video shows the roles and responsibilities of the decision makers in dealing with a potential crisis.

    I wanted to post that lengthy NYT article on AIG's demise last night, but figured it'd get buried in the morning.

    BS videos? Truth hurts that bad? It's a shame it ever got to this point.

    Let at least one of these threads get some kind of reply form the left...


    Then lock one.


    Face the truth... you know you have a hard time doing it... but you must!
