Obama may pull a Roosevelt on the banking system.
Meaning?
I hope Obama's intelligent enough to realize he's going to have to pull a Roosevelt on a lot more than just the banking system if he's elected.
The good news is that this has hit on Bush's watch, so it won't be blamed on Obama (even though the Reps will undoubtedly try to blame Dems, it's a losing argument).
Congress is not going to get anything done this late in an election year, especially not with a debate up tonight and McCain acting like he's been taking acid or something. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
On March 5, 1933, the day after Roosevelt's inauguration, he called a special session of Congress which instituted a mandatory four-day bank holiday. This act provided for the reopening of banks after federal inspectors had declared them to be financially secure.
