The world's a funny place.
True but I still do not undertstand how Bush could not haveseen this, how it took all his 'Ecomonic Adisers" to open his eyes to how bad things are??
I no nothing about ecomonics this that sense, but as soon as i hear Lehmen Brothers went under, AIG was going that way, Fannie Mae Aand Freddie Mack werei ntrouble, to me it doesnot take a "guiness" to know something is terrbly wrong,
If i am driving in my car in a blizzard, i do not need my pssenger to say "Hey man it is snowin,g" i should be able to see this myself
Why was Bush unable to see how serious thing were before his advisors told him??
And I only say Bush because he is the current Prsiedent, any other President who acted like him be they Republican or Democratic and would still question their lack of Vivsion on this, seeing what is going on and sayin,g "I had no idea how badthings were"
