You might be right. Reid said they didn’t know what to do about it!

“Obama called for a bipartisan commission on Wall Street oversight five months ago. John McCain now agrees with that suggestion. After McCain agrees, Obama says it’s nothing more than a political dodge”

Obama is unfit to command, has his hands all over this financial mess, and October should be fun when all the ads come out with the facts!!

Here is the speech in question:

Obama says: “Too often we deal with threats to the financial system that weren’t anticipated by regulators. That’s why we should create a financial market oversight commission, which would meet regularly and provide advice to the president, Congress and regulators on the state of our financial markets and the risks that face them. These experts’ views could help anticipate risks before they erupt into a crisis.”

So clearly Obama is referring to an ongoing oversight commission to predict new problems before they arise. McCain is suggesting a one-time commission to look back and see what went wrong. Obama is entirely consistent in supporting one while opposing the other.

and there’s nothing wrong with commissions, by the way… commissions are there to study the problem and submit recommendations to the president. does barack obama think that he can work out a solution on his own without a commission, be it formal or informal as in the case of his advisers? goodness, i know barack to be a charismatic person but i hope he’s not that conceited…

just me thinking aloud…
