I bet  bumbling  Ben  comes  through with a  .75 to 1%  cut   soon  to  avoid  a US  mirror  image  of the  termoil  today in the  world markets.....

What do you  bet  Bush is wacking him on the  upside  of the  forehead   right  now....LOL

Wer'nt the  talking  heads  saying   only a few  weeks ago  that a  market  meltdown similare to  1929  was imposible today... because they  have  many  means  of  mitigating the  fear factor..... Well they  better  get  busy  and   start  mitigating  or there is  going to be   big  trouble....

Bush  could  have  911, Iraq and  the  second   1929   market  crash as  his  destinquishing   statements  for  his  presidency.

Now  when  911  happened the  image  of  Bush in  front of the  class of  kids  comes to  mind....... is  he at  another  school  today reading  "Marry had a  little  lamb" or  is he  doing  something  about the  carnage in the  market   the  US  banks and  lenders have  caused!

Now it  was  really  stupid  of  Bumbling  Ben to  raise intrest  rates in the  first  place..... as  fighting the  inflation  boogie man agressively by  raising  rates was the  wrong  thing  to  do.......

Ben  caused this  mess  by  raising  rates in the  first  place..... plain and  simple!
