Re that first item: I do agree that the bailout is being poorly managed by the Bush administration, as has unfortunately been their pattern. I just have to sigh...it seems the Bush admin can't manage anything well.

But to judge the success of the bailout by the short term performance of the stock market is wrong. There exists a deep rooted systemic problem and any action, even effective, is likely to take a while to show its true impact.
