Where is the President?

The Dow plunged almost 600 more points today to close below 9000. It's down 39% since Oct. 9, 2007.

Shouldn't our President be on our TV screens tonight telling us what's up? Each and every day, we should be hearing from him. He should tell us what Paulson did today. I want to know what Paulson ate for breakfast. I want to know who he met with and what checks he wrote and why he wrote them.

And the President should be assuring people or warning people or apologizing or something.

Good grief. I'm a pretty fearless investor and until today I've been pretty calm about the whole thing, figuring it would all bounce back in time for me to retire with investments having outpaced inflation. But today I am officially freaked out.

I think he's just decided to hide until January.

He is going to be on tv tomorrow. but he'll just spew the same ole crap. Why do you want to see/hear him. He's been clueless for 8 years.
