Oh, Warren, say it isn’t so.
Let’s Play “WALLSTREET BAILOUT”
Follow this link to see Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio layout for the House what the old rules were and what the new rules should be.
I think Bush may have poked one too many hornet’s nests. He prodded one too many sleeping bears. He cried wolf one too many times. And the metaphors keep marching on.
Katie Couric’s Interview With Sarah Palin 1
Follow this link to the interview with Sarah Palin conducted by Katie Couric.
I thank reader mixrecords for suggesting this link. I had not seen the interview until mixrecords sent me the link. I had given up on Katie Couric based on some of her earliest inteviews on the CBS Evening News. After seeing this interview I will have to re-evaluate what had been a low opinion of Couric’s interviewing skills.

When Will We Know That Wall Street is Serious?
There seems to be a deafening silence from the CEOs of many Wall Street firms about their golden parachutes. When they start coming foreword in droves agreeing to take only $1 per year in salary until this mess is cleaned up, then we will know that they think that the country is in dire enough straights that they are willing to make a scarifice for their country.
Why is it that mostly middle and lower class citizens are willing to give up their lives to save the country in war, but the CEOs aren’t willing to give up anything in a financial crisis?
I always believed that when you give someone a gift, you should not expect anything in return. That is the true meaning of a gift.
Did the American people know the conditions in which they gave huge tax cuts to the wealthy? Did they realize it was a gift for which they would receive nothing? Do they still want to keep on giving?. Why is it that only lower and middle class feels the need to give, but the people who benefit most have no moral compunction to contribute anything?
If the U.S. Government does not agree to a $700 billion, no strings attached bailout, what will these companies do? Will they seek capital from the governments of China and Saudi Arabia? What kind of deal do they think they will get from those governments?
If it is morally wrong and uncapitalistic for the U.S. Government to get something in return for its investment, why do we think it would be better for China and Saudi Arabia to make that investment?
If the only choice for our country is between American run socialism and Chinese or Saudi Arabian run socialism, which choice do you think the American people will make?
Why questions about McCain, Obama health?
Follow this link to a story from the Miami Herald about health questions and presidential candidates.
There are some revelations about past Presidents that amazed me. Of course, how this issue relates to the current candidates is most important.

Obama’s Economic Adviser on C-SPAN
Follow this link to see Gene Sperling, Obama’s economic adviser, on C-SPAN discussing Obama’s economic plans.
This being C-SPAN, you get to hear a lot more information without the constant interruption of a news person. The format is that a caller asks a question and the interviewee gets to give a full answer. When the interviewee happens to be an economics expert, you don’t get an anchor person pretending to know more about economics than the interviewee. I am not claiming that you have to believe everything that Sperling says. What you do get is his full explanation that you can then judge for yourself.
I have also added the C-SPAN Politics web site to the Links section at the right of my blog here. I am sorry I didn’t discover this site much sooner.
CSPAN’s Coverage of the Upcoming Debates
Follow this link to a video describing CSPAN’s planned political debate hub on the web.
I always use CSPAN on cable TV to watch these political events. It is always such a pleasure to see the event itself rather than hear someone interrupt the event to tell me what I am seeing.
For those few of my friends who don’t have access to CSPAN on TV, you can access CSPAN by computer.
Even if you do have cable, the web site can provide you with more than you can get on the TV alone. The above video explains some of this.
Thanks to one of my blog readers, SimonO, for bringing this informative YouTube video to my attention.
