Paulson is NOT making a good case on FTN
He's is saying we WEREN'T on the brink of total collapse.. He just took all the urgency out of it. He's just gone back to "do it this week" but not until he had already undercut his own argument.

1. It's a delicate balance between fear and panic.
But, he is a professional propagandist, and will likely get his way.

2. They could come up with a better salesman than old bullet head
It's hard to go from banging the table at Goldman and running up the score financially to coaxing Americans out of their money to their face.

4. I do not want him to be given the power to do "what he thinks is best"
without recourse. This is pretty frightening. I heard that Bloomberg's name was being bounce around as a non partisan alternative. I would favor that over Paulson as long as Bloomberg does have the right to do what he wants without question either.

5. He says it's the right thing to do because the markets went back up.

What makes that "right" for the American People? It make it "right" for some of the American people
