Bailout Hearings and tonights debate

So it happened, the bailout was approved, and yet my 401k is still in the tank for an almost 30% drop. What a bunch of crap. I listened to the folks from AIG, and Lehman Brothers get up and speak to the hearing committee. What a bunch of freaking theives. They take millions of dollars out of their companies, and then tell me that they feel sorry about the current status of their companies? Why aren't these guys in jail? Why haven't their assets been seized? This is an outrage. These guys should all be in striped suits, making license plates. Who suffers the most? How about all of those folks that have retired, or are pretty close to retirement who don't have the time to ride this thing out like I do? Where is their bailout?

Well, the debate is tonight. I will be watching. I hope that John McCain stops pussyfooting around, and shows his true colors tonight. He has to go after Obama. He has to go at him like a rabid dog. Why hasn't he pointed out that his cheif economic adviser is Mr. Franklin Raines, ex CEO of Fannie Mae. This man also made over 90 million dollars while the CEO of the now failed and bankrupt institution, that you and I, the taxpayers are now funding. Yet another character that should be behind bars. If McCain sits back, and doesn't light the fire in his stomach, then I fear this election is lost. Get ready for socialist collectivism for the next four years. Palin \ Pence in 2012.
