WSJ: The resilience of American finance

From The Hill, with my comments in parentheses:
Pelosi (D-Calif.) ripped President Bush’s “mismanagement” of the economy and a lack of regulation that led to the current situation.
(How does a President manage a free-market economy?)
“I think the American people have had it with this situation where the middle-income people in our country are not protected from the ramifications of the risk-taking and the greed of these financial institutions,” Pelosi told MSNBC.
(Multi-millionaire Pelosi means people hate to lose money in the markets)
When asked whether the Democrats “deserve some responsibility” regarding the economic crisis, Pelosi responded: “No.”
(Bush does, Congress doesn't. Right.)
Afghanistan is getting bumpy, and the Petraeus approach doesn't work there.

The establishment is affronted by the idea that an ordinary hockey mom--a mere citizen--might be just as capable of running the country as a long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations. This closed-shop attitude is exactly what both Jefferson and Adams set themselves against; they wanted a republic where talent and public spirit would find easy access to the establishment.
