#1 "And we can't pay for it all,"

Basically sums up all those Fannie Mae mortgages. Now they're going to do it with Treasury Bonds. When you disconnect the innate value of what the paper represents and treat is as just a piece of paper for speculative purposes, the market will eventually drop the sucker. It's a confidence game. No more, no less.

#5 Powell is only stating the obvious. When a sufficient fraction of the electorate gets a grip on this, their infatuation with Obama will falter.

#6 Between the White House press corp questioning the staged "press briefings", and now Colin Powell's uncertainty; are we seeing serious cracks in the god like image(s) of Bambi?? I'm going to love watching the Dems implode and eat each other.

#9 Not quite an admission that "Barack Obama = Epic Fail", but it's a start.
