This crisis was largely forced by huge selling pressure on the financial institutions. In other words, lots of short selling. Short selling by whom? The timing, just before the election, seems suspicious. Could a relatively small group of people precipicated the crisis purposely?<BR/><BR/>I honestly think this is a little "out there", but then again, I would not be shocked to find out it was true.shoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072061163666081867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-87303605599444110992008-09-25T20:18:00.000-05:002008-09-25T20:18:00.000-05:00I gotta disagree with your McCain comments.

Jumping in to do what is right regardless of the political consequences is McCain's style.<BR/><BR/>The opposition spin, of course, is that this is a political stunt. While the Dems have been saying the deal is already done, he is just trying to horn in and get credit, the latest reports say the deal is now in question, and that conservatives are balking at it. <BR/><BR/>McCain can deliver the conservatives and make this deal happen. I cannot think of any other leader that could bring everyone together and get the deal done.<BR/><BR/>Of course, whether or not doing this bailout is a good idea is another question...see my latest blog post.shoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072061163666081867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-67196011597636274652008-09-25T16:40:00.000-05:002008-09-25T16:40:00.000-05:00Did you actually use "Bush" and "logical" in the s...Did you actually use "Bush" and "logical" in the same sentence.
