I watched a bit of Buffet on Charlie Rose, too. Had to stop watching before I puked. Buffet was going on and on about how Paulson was the best man for the job, has the best interest of the country at heart, was doing the best he could blah, blah, blah. This is the guy who has made decisions for purely political reasons, or to benefit his cronies. He is also the guy who up until recently and after each successive bailout was saying the problem was contained, would be over soon, just a minor correction, etc. He is either stupendously incompetent or a liar. Buffet is a good investor, but he's in it for himself.
