If this Congress is truly interested in healing our markets and saving the economy, there is one bailout they should consider implementing immediately that would be of almost instant benefit to all Americans.

The RNCC is calling the Democrats out on their role in the government’s financial oversight scandal.

If everything in this video is true, it is devastating for Obama and Congressional Democrats. Good luck keeping up with the video though. It is paced way too fast, but I think that was a matter of needing to keep it under 10 minutes. Worth watching anyway.

This report via Gateway Pundit rightly exposes the Democrats as ignorant villains in the current economic scandal, but the question needs to be asked, if Bush was warning Congress about this way back in 2001, where the hell was the Republican Congress from 2001-2006???
