I do remember it well. This is all very odd though because Paulson loves Obama
Hank Paulson feared there would be a run on the dollar during the early phase of the financial crisis when global concerns were focused on the US. When the crisis escalated and went global with the failure of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the dollar rallied – but Mr Paulson had to grapple with a firestorm of financial failures.
He feared Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley would go down along with Washington Mutual and Wachovia.
“The timing could not have been worse since we were months or weeks from the election so you had the collision of markets and politics.”
Although a Republican, Mr Paulson found it harder to deal with John McCain than Barack Obama – raising the interesting (and unanswered) question of which candidate Mr Paulson voted for.

Paulson, doing the closed door session we heard about from KUCINICH of all people, scaring the living $hiite out of Reid & Pelosi (or were they in on it all along—hence their rush to personal riches and rags-for-all-y’all), talking to 0basoros and the Demfasicsts 1st, and on his knees to Pelosi after 0bama flew off the handle in the Oval Office....
Fascinating. Not only do these people keep their jobs, but also they increase their personal fortunes AT THE EXPENSE OF THE COUNTRY’S and its citizens’. I wonder where they think they’ll go if it really DOES hit the proverbial fan.
