Fed officials weigh in on economy's weakness

A crisis is a terrible thing to waste. Where is President-Elect Obama?. All this talk about Obama's cabinet, Eric Holder as Attorney General, Penny Pritzker at commerce. When you read a news account of the things Penny Pritzker's been involved in with her bank, this woman belongs more in jail cause she's hip deep in this subprime mortgage business with a bank that she controlled in Chicago, the cabinet appointees in this whole administration is set up to be the Clinton administration third term with Obama running it. The Democrats don't want to be on the fence. They are hoping to slough this off to Bush, lame duck Bush. They know people are not in favor of this bailout. They don't want their fingerprints on it, Democrats in Congress. They're either going to wait for Obama to have his fingerprints on it, or they're going to try to get Bush to do something, because we're in such a state of emergency. Now, Mitt Romney had a New York Times op-ed, and basically he says, Let 'em go under, let 'em do Chapter 11 and let 'em reorganize and all this.
