IMO, it just goes to a lack of understanding of politics by the public
at large.  If people were so outraged about the bailouts and bonuses,
why do they continue to elect those who support such?   No, they just
blame the guy at the top, not the majority in Congress who pass such.
By what margin was Frank and Pelosi relected?? Obama is about to get a
rude awakening, maybe not in 2009, but it will happen.  He's still the
golden boy at present, and listening or not, there will be little he can
do to stop the congressional train, just as Bush could not stop it.
