Disturbing trends predicted that Bush would need more bail out funds and it looks like we sort of got it right. Though he has left the White House, he is still technically President – and the Bank of America and Citibank are moping up the bail out cash like blotting paper. It is not the end yet. But it may be the end of the beginning of this crisis, although I have seen that prediction before.

Sorry, we were right. Them pesky derivatives.
