Mr. President: Schedule a One Hour Meeting with Eliot Spitzer Every Week
Spitzer knows Wall Street and would be the perfect person to give you advice that you're not getting from Larry Summers and Tim Geithner.

Re-inflating the credit bubble is insanity. The People own Wall Street now but it sure doesn't seem that way.

3. Spitzer wants re-entry, and record in ofice shows easy take-downs and now too easy hits on Geitner.
True for many who want to simplify the situation.

Nowhere does Obama want to reinflate the crdit bubble the same way, but we still have to have a financial market (though to me it's always been gambling with other people's money).

4. Only Spitzer was brought down of the Wall Street/D.C. elites listed in the Hooker
"black books?" I am not the first to connect the dots: As the NY Att Gen, Spitzer went after AIG and other Wall Street crooks, as Gov he was in position to clean-up, or clean-out Wall Street. Then his indiscretions were made public. Who had what to gain by Spitzer being forced to resign? Rhetorical to ask, why other Wall Street, Corporate and Wash. D.C.elites who used the services of the same hooker operation, and were not outed? Though Spitzer could not be appointed a Special Prosecutor - he would rightfully be accused of being biased, but I am sure he could give Obama some names of who best to appoint - of course should Obama have the balls to threaten his campaign financiars. Dream on, I know!

5. Yeah, and the Bushies took down Spitzer
because he was about to wreck the house of cards.

Ralph Nader says the Wall Street elites punked Obama regarding the Chrysler bankruptcy.

Spitzer has the knowledge of how to put the Goldman Sachs plutocrats in their place w/o crashing everything.
