White House caught napping on financial crisis

CNN's Campbell Brown is on a roll. Check out her commentary on "White House caught napping on financial crisis" below.

Campbell Brown says, "They are now telling us we are in a dire crisis, and that we must hand over hundreds of billions of dollars so they can lead us out of this mess."

"What's amazing to me is that the administration seems a little surprised that Congress and the American people are not marching in lockstep with them on this and not fully appreciating the urgency."

Then she nails the whole 8 years of the Republican Administration of President Bush in one sentence that sums-up the Iraqi Operation Never ending Occupation, the Katrina debacle and its aftermath, non-existent weapons of mass destruction, credit crunch, financial socialism, Wall Street bailouts for billionaires, etc., etc. With this Administration it's just one crisis (real or imagined) after another. They are like the boy who cried wolf. After about the 5th or 6th time, the American people are righteously skeptical of this Administration's clarion call for urgency.

These unfaithful stewards of our national economy have ran the ship-of-state into an abyss. And Bush & Co. expects the American people to just blindly trust them with $700 billion taxpayer dollars to bailout their cronies' shady business practices.
Mrs. Brown nails it when she says "Well here's why, in one word: accountability."

"This administration missed the boat on this crisis. They didn't see it coming. That's why when Bush goes on TV in a few minutes, he will face a very wary audience."

"And Secretary Paulson, frankly, you didn't help the situation with your initial, imperious request to Congress that you be handed this money and that your decisions "may not be reviewed by any court of law or administrative agency." Seriously, what were you thinking?"
