Because I written so much (number of words) in the blog I'll put out tomorrow, I don't have the usual "What Others Aare Saying" segment, but do link two representative articles within the blog text.<br /><br />Note that the first discussion of Johnson-Crap caused the F&F stock to drop mightily but first common and preferred came back later in the week, suggesting investors are not buying into a quick resolution.Bill Malonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459277100798719104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940142538364421402.post-44729364735609072652014-03-15T00:07:08.166-07:002014-03-15T00:07:08.166-07:00Sounds like a discombobulated mess of ideas trying...Sounds like a discombobulated mess of ideas trying to find middle ground. I don't see this bill going anywhere especially since the SBC can't agree on basic principals. Hasn't this bill been in the "finalizing stages" now for a long time?

...Lots of smoke and mirrors in town on this issue.<br /><br />I'm told Warren is negotiating with Johnson-Crapo for what she wants on low income housing support.<br /><br />Public comments are not necessarily an accurate reflection of her position.<br /><br />But, too much accommodation for Warren (and the other "progressive"<br />D's) will cost J-C the GOP support they need. Tough balancing act, but that's how successful legislating is done.Bill Malonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459277100798719104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940142538364421402.post-27551909319968463102014-03-14T04:28:15.238-07:002014-03-14T04:28:15.238-07:00Hot potato!

Geithner was too close to the banks, coming from the New York Fed and forgot that he was to manage not succor them.<br /><br />Barack Obama appointed them and trusted them and their screw ups or mismanagements are on him.<br /><br />I wanted this President to be a giant but he's not made up that way is a debater not a gut fighter and the R's only wanted to fight with him. They said it, they pointed out their plans and eh did very little to combat those schemes.<br /><br />Good man, probably a good husband and father, but appears not up to the challenges the fractured GOP has thrown at him.<br /><br />Obamacare is a mess, at least to outside appearances; the economy hasn't totally recovered; Keystone Pipeline is being held up; Syria, North Korea, Iran, Irag, Russia, and Israel/Palestine, possibly China, are overseas trouble spots (and that's being kind).<br /><br />The EU won't step in on the Ukraine take over in any meaningful way.<br /><br />Al Queda is cropping up all over Africa.<br /><br />Obama's not running and the R's are running against him and his policies. And many D Senators and Members are retiring or running but hiding from the President.<br /><br />Mid-November is going to be ugly, I think.<br /><br /><br />My sense is that the American people don't need much to want anybody but the Democrats running the Congress next year and then 2016, will give the R's a chance to capture the whole thing.<br /><br /><br />Bill Malonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459277100798719104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940142538364421402.post-31786192353426650792014-03-12T20:00:36.497-07:002014-03-12T20:00:36.497-07:00I appreciate your blog, thanks so much.

With that, I never really understood why Obama embraced persons such as Summers, Geithner and Paulson, So it's not Obama that I blame directly but the bad influences that fed him a line or 2, that earned him the legacy of bad policy decisions, What is most sad and troubling is that voters will go to the polls in 2016 without really knowing the architects behind the many scams.<br /><br />The imminent need for mortgage finance reform is an example of the above and I agree nothing will happen in the near future, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
