Re: [FairfieldLife] Hillary's prescience on the 2008 Bank Bailouts
Yep, the biggest mistake made was not holding the banks accountable to any level that mattered. I like the idea of an Obama/Hillary ticket where she could run in 2016, should her energy level hold up ;) From: raunchydog To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 11:55 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Hillary's prescience on the 2008 Bank Bailouts Hillary appeared on talk shows during the financial crisis September 23, 2008, a month after the nomination.

Obama, said he was going to do a lot of things to but once president the Corprica crew have a "come to Jesus" talk with any president.
