God, save us from these people.
As long as his entire speach is an apology to the US for this despicable act, I'll be happy to listen to him.
AFAIC, he can go on a year long apology tour.
If you weren’t there watching billions of dollars drain from the hedge funds, then you have no clue as to how close we came to total economic collapse.
If you think that would have been a good thing, then the saying about ignorance being bliss applies to you.
No doubt we aren’t going to find out who did what that afternoon, but I assure you it was beyond shocking to watch it happening.
“Great. Mr. “I abandoned the Free Market to save it” is going to add his $.02”.
...this is true. However, he kept us safe and strong militarily for 8 years. He supported our troops. The economy roared even after 9/11. He and his wife kept dignity in the WH. He didn’t try to destroy Christianity.
Now, everyday is opposite day with the Pissant at the helm. I do agree with another post whereas it would be best if he’d just let Cheney do his thing and stay out of it. At least for a little while longer.
You are damed right he did! Do some research and learn something.
Secret "closed door" meeting with Congress (3/14/08)
Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they also discussed:
1. the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008,
2. the imminent collapse of US federal government finances by February 2009,
3. the possibility of Civil War inside the USA as a result of the collapse
Kanjorski and the 550bil

Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
starting at 2:08 into the clip.
Look, I was there when the Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve came those days and talked with members of Congress about what was going on. It was about September 15th. Here's the facts, and we don't even talk about these things.
On Thursday [which would have been 9-11] at about 11 o’clock in the morning the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the United States to the tune of $550-billion was being drawn out in in a matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help and pumped a $105-billion into the system, and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide.
We were having an electronic run on the banks.
[AKA an Economic Terrorist Attack]
Decided to close down the accounts and announce a guarantee of 250k per account so there wouldn’t be further panic out there, and that’s what actually happened.
If they had not done that their estimation was that by 2:00 that afternoon,
5.5 TRILLION would’ve been drawn out of the MM system of the US,
would’ve collapsed the entire economy of the US and
w/in 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.
Now we talked at that time about what would happen if that happened. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it.
And that’s why when they made the point, we’ve got to act and do things quickly we did it.
