Well f* me running.”</p> Another episode of “Who could have known?” Upon seeing a picture of Frank and Pelosi with angry looks on their faces after having been punked by Bush and Paulson on money for homeowners, I could just imagine a caption: “Well f* me.

I am not any more and if they give the rest of the money before January 20 I will just give up on the Democratic Party and I do not give up easily. The money is not being loaned. Bonuses are being paid to millionaires. Banks are rumored to be saving up to buy each other. Maybe. Or they are lighting it on fire. Who knows what they are doing with it? No one. And they are going to give them more? This is insane.</p> I was for the bailout originally.

My understanding is that Laura Tyson was on Maddow as a spokesperson for Obama and you are correct she has not been named to any post in his Administration.</p> I agree that Frank is a major disappointment.

But when I hear another dopey Obama adviser spout off, I think that a stimulus plus all the money the Fed is feeding to financial institutions through high powered hoses won’t be sufficient. Right now, I’m thinking there will be a short term improvement followed by a stall out.</p> When I look at the financial meltdown, the principal question I ask myself is what are the odds that the Obama Administration will stumble its way to a recovery.
