Iraq 2.0 (or 3.0, if you include the 1991 dust-up)

Posted at 9:13 am on Tuesday, September 30, 2008, in Uncategorized, and tagged bush, economics.

After spending nearly a decade creating the problem, the president has now found it convenient to come out of his hole and demand changes, demand fast action from Congress (including unprecedented power handed to the Executive branch), and to continue to lay out the potential threat that the financial crisis poses on the American people. Does this at all sound familiar?

The problem facing the president, however, is that he has no control, and no one really cares to listen to his opinion. Bush is well past the lame duck stage of his administration; he is as good as gone. This could make some good reading in Bush’s memoirs, I guess, and that is probably what is driving his latest speeches to the press and the American people. That, and helping the wealthy retain their wealth.
