kaslin: THANK YOU for posting tonight’s DOSE . . . MOST world leaders will miss our President terribly after he leaves office! As Uribe indicated yesterday, President Bush has been a “warrior” in the defense of freedom/democracy — taking the fight to the enemy and liberating millions in the process!

JUST THE FACTS: THE ADMINISTRATION’S UNHEEDED WARNINGS ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC RISK POSED BY THE GSEs
For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted. Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President’s repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.

I think they will too. Do you know if it will be on C-SPAN 1 or 2? My fiber optic company only carries C-SPAN1

No wonder Congress has a 9 percent approval rating and it looks like they are working on getting it even lower.
I am going to copy the list and send it to my e-pals
