There is not the bluster from Bush. He must have been told by the organ grinders to shut up and cooperate. Maybe someone has been able to explain to him that he is seen as the cause of all the problems,

On the news last night (in W. Europe) they said the US is already in a deep recession and that it's not a matter of IF they crash, but how hard and how fast. They're talking "depression" too. People in the money business sure are jittery here.
