“The games of stalling are over,” Reid said.

Everything that Obama, Reid and Pelosi do have to be done immediately. More evidence that this bill is terrible since the dems do not want is contents to be scrutinized to carefully by Wall Street and its pitfalls made public.

Let’s see. The dims are on the verge of controlling all our bank accounts and give themselves the power to seize everyone’s 401K plans. They are about to pee in their collective pants. They won’t make it through the week without a vote. Hopefully some dims will not vote for this garbage.

Is Harry Reid smart for pushing “financial reform”?

What’s going to stop him from pushing it through?

And once it goes through, him and his friends will have a death grip on our nation.

So yeah, I guess he is pretty smart.

Just cram it through...worked for health care. Reid is desperate for some victory that he can trade on. “See, I stood up to Wall Street!”

I'm thinking that Reid does not want the bill to pass.

Thus, the Dems will have an issue for Nov. They'll claim Repubs obstructed and blame the sour economy in Nov. on that.

Is Harry Reid smart to push for a vote on financial reform?...not if Republicans are smart and filibuster the bill because it introduces no controls on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the real culprits in the financial meltdown - if they shoot down the bill with that as their stated rationale, 'pubs may actually add substantial meaning to whatever law results, will show themselves to be serious about genuine reform, and most importantly, have an opportunity for some high visibility education of the public about how 'rats in the White House and Congress contributed to the meltdown by prostituting Fannie and Freddie into guaranteeing with taxpayer money all those risky mortgages banks were making to give housing to the poor - but of course presuming that Republicans might be smart pretty well dooms the whole scheme.....

He is a fool and they will run him out of Nevada.

I think we can deal with the first half of this headline without even having to go into the second half:

Question: Is Harry Reid smart?
