You can count on Victor Hanson to have a great article.

"Imagine what might have happened had [the financial] panic occurred in January 2009 rather than September 2008.

The financial blowout didn't just "happen" in September, 2008. It was a preplanned, well executed attack on the financial system with the objective of ensuring Obama's election. The secondary purpose was to panic the populace and bring the economy to its knees so once Obama was elected he could push through his sweeping socialistic budget and agenda under the guise of fighting the "Bush Depression."

And it worked very well indeed. But why hasn't there been an investigation into the source of the attack? I don't expect the democrats or Obama administration to do it, but where is the interest on the part of the Republican party? Or are they afraid an investigation will hurt them as well as democrats?

At any rate, all the major players played their parts the way they were supposed to:

Paulson and Bernanke lied their heads off to scare anyone and everyone.

President Bush bought into the panic and was lead down the Primrose Path by Paulson and Bernanke, thereby forever being saddled with the resultant recession/depression as his legacy to America and giving Obama's handlers the opportunity to position him as the man who would save the economy.

(just think what might have happened if Bush had not paniced and had the cajones to call Paulson's bluff, denmanding more input and more time to consider the proper action.)

John McCain ran around like the proverbial chicken with his head cut off. Of course, whichever way he turned he ran into public relations traps the perpetrators of the crisis had already put into place, so he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

Obama did what he always does - give speeches, but take no action. So he went into the last weeks of the campaign appearing to be the only cool hand in the game.

It was a setup alright, and America will pay the price for a long time - perhaps forever.

I would say the obsession is on getting this evil man out of the WH and then getting a hazmat crew to clean and fumigate the place..

Here in Maine, I saw a bumper sticker a month ago which stated, “Don’t Blame Me....I Voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin!”

"Or, instead, Obama could hold the pedal to the floor on the theory that, as a proven ideologue, he must move the country far left before the voters catch on and stop him in his tracks in November 2010."

I'm betting Obummer goes with this one - he knows he's a one-termer so he's going to try to do as much damage as possible in his single term. ;-(
