4. My guess is that Dianne will support it and Barbara will resist it.
But in the end, if they add the right mechanisms for oversight and build in some of the elements I heard Obama mention, I think it will pass by the middle of next week.

3. I need a couple of weeks...before I start pushing buttons....
I have a lot of money, in cash, in the bank...I'd hate to have to pull it all out....and I will if I need to, but I can't right now, because of other obligations....I can take some out....but not all of it.

I'm not sure what to think about it all, but if the banks fall, so do I. There was talk tonight on CNBC about FDIC not having enough money to cover everyone if this fails. My bank is suppose to be on semi-firm footing, but I wonder how much of that is smoke and mirrors, since 55% of their money is in core deposits.

I don't know....

7. I don't think the banks are going to fail.....
somehow, I don't think it is as dire as all that....all of the sudden.

Something is not quite right.

8. I know, I hear you, in that something is a miss...
I keep thinking that maybe it is just a money grab before they leave office...but I'd hate to be wrong....
