Recently read a long bio piece on her, which I can’t locate at the moment. She’s well educated, Harvard Law (IIRC), then to a major NY law firm, where she stayed only a few years. Then she made a killing in intl telecom. This is a short squib on her from Forbes.

She may or may not be well qualified to serve as an economic advisor. But it’s not ludicrous per se.

And McCain and Obama can do the “economic policy debate” when Palin and Biden used to be scheduled!

John Yoo suddenly returns to the WH…even though there is clearly no “national security” issue he has to deal with. Why bring in an “expert” manipulator of Constitutional interpretation? The man who believes the Executive can take up any power during a “State of Emergency”?

Bush invites both McCain and Obama…neither of them actually in the Senate leadership to participate with the latter to reach a “deal”. McCain himself admits he doesn’t have much of a clue of how to resolve the issue. Of course, in normal Constitutional course all these folks can do is bring a possible bill before Congress to vote upon. Yet, as noted above, it’s political suicide for most Republicans and Democrats.

So lets say that McCain plays the White Knight. He presents a “compromise proposal” with lower tranche and some superficial Congressional oversights, and a few other bogus soupbones and evasions. Bush “grudgingly” agrees with this, and so do the Republicans present. Bush hints at the alternative. The deal is struck.

McCain emerges as the great hero…saving the economy while reducing the tax burden to a few hundred billion…and staving off a “Declaration of National Emergency”. His polls shoot upward. McCain wins the election. Then he returns to Congress and says “It’s not enough, and we can either declare a national state of emergency or you can pass another $500 billion bailout.”

Excellent!

When one thinks of all the times that Obama has been attacked for not having foreign experience, that justification is almost funny.

It was in fact Senator Obama who initially called McCain’s campaign at 8:30 AM proposing to form a unity front in addressing the economic meltdown,and to discuss presenting a joint statement to improve confidence in the markets. Neither McCain, nor his campaign, responded to the offer for six hours. McCain’s campaign later baldly asserted he was conferring with his economic advisers. But during that period McCain actually held a meeting with Lady Lynn de Rothschild, the wealthy socialite former Clinton supporter who has turned to support McCain. Economic advisor? A woman who married the septagenarian scion of the Rothschild banking empire?
