    So what did everyone think? Quite a bit different from the CNBC show, but this focused less on housing and more on the resulting collapse of the finance world.

    I got the impression that these guys (Bernanke, Paulson, Geitner) were not the Wall St. robber barons they have been portrayed as here and elsewhere. Rather they were the people who happened to be in charge when a clusterfuck of biblical proportions fell onto their laps. There was no precedence to what they faced, even for Bernanke and his Great Depression expertise. Paulson, the staunchest of free marketers, had to convert and oversee massive government intervention. Geitner was the conduit between Wall St. and the White House, which makes his appointment more obvious in hindsight. You couldn’t have written a better soap opera.

    They’re three impressive guys. Who else would you want handling this? Alas, I read it as all the king’s horses, and all the king’s men can’t put this pile of shit back together again.

    Directv allows you to login to your account, schedule a taping from their online show listings. I just started using it recently. I watched the house of cards last night – will catch up on this one tonight.

    Obamas latest move may make these shows worthless if he lowers payments for all the fools that rushed into homes bigger than their takehome pay.
