"The next president - and his team at Treasury, the Fed and the SEC - will be saddled with managing the uncertain aftermath of the extraordinary intervention, including the nationalization of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as well as the partial nationalization of the nation.s largest banks.

I'll be more interested to see where the markets stand after 6 to 8 months of new policies, new policies assuming Obama wins the election. These are interesting times.
