ArnoldGallagher, I could not agree more. When there is that much money involved of OUR money, they had better take their time and spend it wisely.

If they're going to spend $700B, I would rather they take their time. A LOT of time.

"57 states". That's all that needs to be said about Obama.

the dems don't want to look at fannie and freddie because they created it and they take money from these guys and now it's gone bad and they're trying act like they didn't know about. all you have to do is google "s.190". in 2005 obama and ALL the dems voted against a reform bill that would have fixed all this shit before it happened. they are all on the fucking take. when is the press going to do their JOB and report on this shit. the media should no longer be given privelage in our society,

except obama now says he isn't going to offer a proposal until he hears from the FED. Sounds like a lack of leadership.

I hear those minutes ticking by... tick tock tick tock....

you see,suggesting a commision doesn't preclude doing other things as well, which appears to be what Obama is suggesting that Mccain is suggesting. Just today Obama said he wouldn't offer his proposals until after he heard what the FED would do. BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS URGENT!!! Where's the leadership? You mean he wants to wait a bit to find out whats going on before making a proposal? Here's a thought. How about also having a comission, meeting and panel with various people just to get an overview

[jr565]

If it takes weeks to put together a panel (and I'm assuming even longer to put together a commision) then obviously his suggesting that he would put together a panel wouldn't address issues that had to be addresssed NOW. That might be handled by MEETINGS for example.

See, you can advocate a comission to determine long term solutions and at the same time also have meetings with advisors and SEC heads and even panels in the interim. Are you unaware of this?

[jr565]

And at any rate, to distinguish your leadership from your opponets by ridiculing his suggestion that he would setup a comission versus your setting up a panel is really arguing over a distinction without a distinction.

How is empaneling a panel somehow a mark of leadership while setting up a commision, not? And vice versa. Both are simply saying they will get a bunch of experts to look into the of the issue and propose solutions. Panel versus commision is simply using synonyms for the same thing
