I think Bush has been sleepwalking for quite awhile and he needs to remember he still is POTUS and he needs to act like it. I agree with Senator Sessions. Wake up George!
About two months late, but a good read, none the less.
Thank God for our Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby, both to whom I fired off letters to this weekend opposing additional bailouts. Out of the 6 Republican campaign signs I displayed on my lawn this past cycle, Jeff Sessions was my only winner.
Bush should have told SEC head Chris Cox 9 months ago to reinstate the uptick rule on shorting. The ‘bear radis’ by shorts destroyed endless companies and was part of a plan to wreck the market and economy to get O elected.
ACRON ran rampant during the elections.
Bush is totally asleep or worse negligent.
Both he and Shelby voted no and voiced their opposition to the 700B bailout thank goodness even though it passed anyway. We need more true conservatives like them.
Thank God for Senators Sessions and Shelby. Both are my Senators, and both voted against the $700B bailout. Senator Sessions should be a leading possibility for President. Good Alabama values.
“Oppose the economic stimulus package that includes an additional bailout for troubled auto manufacturers.”
GM management are rational economic actors. If the went into bankruptcy they could reorganize all their lending, wage, health care and pension obligations and come out of bankruptcy leaner and stronger. But bankruptcy would also mean reorganization of Management salaries and bonuses, so GM won’t go that route now. Why not ask for more from the Govt? Everyone else is.
-after seeing a few seconds of the Pres emoting on the airline/holiday/corridor/congestion crisis, (action has been taken) I could only shake my head and turn away---
Sometimes I think GWB ever wonders why he even bothered to run for POTUS. He seems to have been out of the loop for more than three years.
Why wake him now, let him sleep, plus the bailout has gone the way Bush wanted it, allowing Paulson to bail out the those poor bankers.
Mission Accomplished. he:>
The democrats have been calling Bush stupid for years.
Lately, it makes you wonder? Maybe he is?
GW seems to be doing like Daddy Bush in his waning months.
Both just seem to want it to be over.
Maybe GWB thought he could allow his cronies’ looting but manage it. Strategery!
The sense of crisis was heightened in order to get the baiout through. Was it foreign pressure? It sure seemed that way given the comments of world leaders at the time the bailout first failed in the House.
Bush isn’t stupid. He’s just following the order of the PTB and his ancestors.

I think when Rove left it seemed like Bush lost direction.
First, Mr. Bush said, “I’ll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol’ coffers.” With assets that have been estimated as high as nearly $21 million, Mr. Bush added, “I don’t know what my dad gets — it’s more than 50-75” thousand dollars a speech, and “Clinton’s making a lot of money.” ol’ coffers.
