"Calm Down?"
I would like to know why the "Chairman" told Maxine Waters to calm down. I thought she was calm. In fact, I was hoping she would smack the hell out of him for telling her to calm down, and have a real "Come to Jesus " talk with those bankers.

They were scared of her as it was. I wanted to see her light into them and shake the Congress!!

Can I get a witness??

1. I posted yesterday that Maxone asked many of the questions I would have asked had I been there.
She normally asks pretty good questions. Questions that are of interest to so many Americans, as opposed to questions that you go, WTF? who the hell cares?

She was on MSNBC last night as well, can't remember if it was Olbermann or Maddow, but I think she knows what needs to be done, and I think she's set on doing it.

We could use a few more like Maxine.

2. What happened as a result of yesterday's hearing anyway?
What I gathered was that no vote for additional tarp funds would be necessary b/c none of the bankers needed more funds. I guess not after that tongue lashing they got!:P
