Congressman Kanjorski captures the mood of the public

We're rapidly approaching the day when Obama needs to cut his losses, though we have already passed that date long ago. The response to the most serious economic problem in a long time has been disorganized and only makes people even more concerned about where it's all going. Americans will support a bailout that is deemed fair and that shows a serious effort but not this.

"I was stunned when I learned how bad this was on Tuesday ," Geithner said. "I shouldn't have been in that position, but it's my responsibility and I accept that."

Two days later, Geithner told the White House. The last-minute disclosure irked some of the president's senior advisers, but they refuse to point fingers now, saying the timing had little impact on the outcome or the president's public statements this week.

"Would I have liked an earlier warning system on this? Yeah," said David Axelrod, a senior White House adviser. "Would it have markedly changed things? Probably not. The legal constraints are the legal constraints."

"I'm sick and tired of hearing the administration and the Secretary of the Treasury say, 'I just found out about it,' " Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski (D-Pa.) said yesterday.
