Come on Lyle, sure there are political hangovers and then there is George Bush and the dogfood brand Republican party. It may just be a matter of degree but its a big difference.

the problem with Obama is he's not doing enough, the stimulus package should have been bigger, he's too much of a moderate, too worried about partisanship when Republicans aren't interested. Granted it doesn't hurt to make the Republicans look like the ones not interested in working together which may have been the idea all along.

I tend to agree with Bill Maher, it wouldn't hurt to hang a few bankers from the scaffolding of the stock exchange just to give people a scare. Other than that I don't know. Banks are going to fail, its just going to get worse.
