Interesting, I did presicely what you suggested in a most recent column, entitled ‘Leadership Failure, Greed And Incompetence Source Of Financial Crisis’ I point out that the Federal Government also needs to take its share of the blame for failing to properly regulate Wall Street and that source of failure begins in the White House and trickles down to each and every member of Congress” However, one with judgment does not hold a $31,000 per person fundraiser in tinsel town with the intent of raisng $9 million in one day during a financial crisis the proportions of which we haven’t seen since the Great Depression. Now I realize fundraisers must be planned well in advance of the event, but not two years. You see John McCain called for an investigation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while Obama was in the Senate because McCain saw the crisis on the horizion but no one in the House or Senate paid any attention to the warnings. This financial crisis has been developing for years and perhaps it was unfortunate that Obama’s timing was so bad, but it was not because he was not forewarned. DS
