4. He is.
He looks a little shocked to me. He said people want to see a philosophy carried out, not razzle-dazzle.

10. i'm not a big fan but even so that doesn't mean i always disagree with him. I think
his tree has been shaken big time, the past 3 months or so he seems almost like a different person.

5. Which language, about how community banks could collapse?
It didn't make sense to me why he said that and then later talked about how the FDIC would insure everything.

14. Rachel makes Tweety think before he normally talks
She actually makes him a better political observer.

I thought it was a great exchange on the razzle dazzle next 4 years if McCain got elected.

19. My bank in california was taken over by a Dutch Bank this spring
I talked to someone at the bank on business and they are relieved now

21. Someone gave a website to see if ones bank is at risk
Last week I think. I don't think you need to lose a night's sleep over it.
Just do some research.

22. What the heck is going on in this Chimp administration - Bush has us on an emotional yo-yo
Just one week ago in the Rose Garden, after he refused to bailout Lehman Brothers, Bush said this:

"But in the long run I am confident that our capital markets are flexible and resilient and can deal with these adjustments."

He called this an "adjustment", not a full-blown economic crisis. He said the capital markets were "flexible" and "resilient". Does that mean he wasn't consulting with his Secretary of the Treasury? Does it mean the Secretary of the Treasury didn't realize what was happening just one week ago?

Or is this crisis something that happened in less than one week?

Or is this not really an urgent crisis after all, but something else, something typically political for ChimpCo?
