Paulson...the 500 million dollar man discusses his anguish over the current situation. No problem here with a guy making a buck, but this wealth is in the realm of out of touch.

Link is to 60 minute interview from tonight.

How could one be worth 500 million, and not see this coming?

Government of Goldman Sachs, for the automakers, and by the hedge funds.

Why doesn’t Paulson get together with, oh, say, about 1000 of his buddies? That group, together with Gates and Buffet, could bail out Wall Street all by themselves.

i saw this on 60 Minutes

it was clear to me that this man should not be in charge of cleaning up a mess he and his best friends are stuck in.

is he worried about himself? his friends? does he want to pass out the goodies while the rest of us eat S#it?

his vision is clouded by his own involvement, and the involvement of the culture he travels in....he cannot think out of the box he is in. he thinks he knows what to do.
where has he been the last few years?

i watched him overselling this plan to “Scott, Scott, Scott...how many times did he do it?”

it was apalling.

then there was the Pelosi fluff piece.

i am still ill.

i left the TV and came here to the computer and wrote emails to my Congressman and 2 Senators....what more can I do?
