This was a good article. Puts things in perspective, and reveals all the finger-pointing for what it is...a political hatchet job. I kept hearing all last week those on the left (and even some on the right, afraid perhaps of having their own culpability revealed) that the Fed was somehow asleep at the wheel in responding. Yet, I never heard one person give a single valid example of this supposed malaze. Are there lessons to be learned from this disaster? Of course, and we should take a hard look at what went right, and what could have gone better. The finger pointing and race baiting is counter-productive, and belittles the efforts of all who've come to our fellow citizens aid.
