The only thing I can come up with while watching Sheila Bair with 60 Minutes is: PRINTING PRESS!

She kept repeating “….insurance….insurance…..”.
Everything has its limit including insurance.

Tell that to my associates who lost money with the collapsing of IndyMac.

Who cares about the FDIC? Sheila Bair is competent? Not possible according to Evan Thomas of Newsweek. Hillary and Palin were not. Notice Thomas doesn’t mention that any male contenders were incompetent.

Newsweek? Toast. Unless they continue to worship Obama in hopes of a bailout.

Bair was briefly on Washington Journal the other day. She inspires confidence, and was quite good answering people’s questions. Just sayin’.

She projects so much more ease, honesty, and confidence while still acknowledging reality than a certain male person occupying our White House.

He says whatever the teleprompter tells him to. That is the sum total of his involvement in anything other than himself.

Woo!

If things are this bad, what is Obama talking about? First he has been at it saying this is the worse economic crisis since the great depression. Then he goes on holding mini sessions for health care reform and education and energy….etc instead.

Next, he goes on the teleprompter and says it not that bad. With so many banks closing and it’s not that bad?

Does Obama have a clue what he’s talking about? Or is he just going through the motions.

Obama sickness me.

“backed up by the full faith and credit of the United States government…”

Ahem. There is that little matter of creditworthiness, Ms. Bair. Ours being lower than Belgium at this point:

March 10, 2009
Behind Belgium?

With Washington doing all it can to prove that borrowed money is the answer, is it any wonder that others are asking questions, as Institutional Investor suggests in “U.S. Creditworthiness Hits Record Low”?

The latest U.S. government budget projects a staggering deficit of $1.75 trillion this year, and publicly held debt is expected to expand by $9.57 trillion, to $15.37 trillion, over the next decade.

But as the U.S. governmentment commits its full faith and credit to stemming financial panic and restoring the nation’s economy — and by extension that of the world — to vigorous health, its standing in the eyues of investors is plumbing unprecedented depths.

As revealed in the semiannual Institutional Investor Country Credit survey, the U.S. sees its creditworthiness drop by 5.0 points, to 88.0, on a scale of zero to 100. It now ranks No. 15 among the 177 countries in the survey, one place behind Belgium, a debt-plagued and barely governable state that might cease to exist if Flemish and French-speaking separatists had their way.

Bair’s repeated assertions about the “full faith and credit of the United States government” sound scarier than anything…defensive…and hollow…like ‘faith-based’ arguments while whistling past the graveyard.
