Hang on folks!

Why now?

Who would have ever thought that right when such a historical event is about to take place, the  bailout cloud would rear its ugly head?

Now we have Barack Obama about to be sworn in as one of the most popular incoming Presidents of The United States and his own democratic party is about to shoot him down.  How will that look if the vote authorizing the other half of the bailout money doesn't pass and he has to take the oath with defeat already preceding him?  Ugh.

I understand that the first half hasn't gone so well.  But I believe President-elect Obama has a different game book.  I know that ol' G.W. Bush didn't make everyone accountable  for that first half, but is that a good enough reason to tie Obama's hand?  Because of the way Bush handled it?

On Tim Geithner.

Probably the best person suited for the position of Treasury Secretary, and we're going to toss what's left of our economy away because of a tax situation and his housekeeper's immigration status?

Again, ugh.

Hold on to your wallets because you can best believe we haven't reached the highest peak of this roller coaster ride if all this crap gets in the way.

Hold on!
