Yeah. Cheney says, "It's a worldwide financial crisis." http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/090315/cheney_economic_woes.html Of course, anyone who pays attention knows it is a worldwide financial crisis because foreign investors bought trillions in U.S. mortgage-backed securities that were rated AAA when they were, in fact, junk. If Bush's SEC had been on the job, it may not have gotten to this point.

The stimulus package will hopefully set a ceiling on unemployment numbers, keeping them below 10 percent, for the next 18 months. In that time, Obama has to move aggressively to deal with the bad mortgages and bank insolvency. While I don't like what I hear coming out of Oba
