Transcript of Today's statement


Sounds similar to something Obama said the other night:

We're going to have to coordinate with other countries to make sure that whatever actions we take work.

Are the same people writing these things?
 
Bush Press secretary said that both candidates are being included in Treasury department/financial markets matters.
Both major party candidates are being briefed separately with the same information

She also told the press Bush already in the process of having transition teams talking to the two candidates.

She said this at a press conference, I happened to catch on CSpan while flipping channels last night. Why the *beep* it's only on CSpan, I have no idea, it's important for the public to know that BOTH the candidates are being kept up to date on this. If nothing else, it will keep them from wondering if the next President is going to walk into the Office with a blindfold on!

Thanks for the info, Silverbird. That's pretty good, but of course it's crazy that it's only on CSpan. And of course only the Republican and Democrat candidates are included in these meetings. They've already decided long ago to not include any other parties.
 
Press Briefing by Dana Perino

Also, one thing I -- I put out a little note to you a little bit earlier and sent out the President's executive order on transition. Just a few words about that before I go to questions.

The smooth and collegial transfer of power from one presidential administration to the next is a hallmark of American democracy. And it's always an enormous undertaking and requires hard work and a lot of coordination.

It has probably never been more critical that a transition from an administration, from one to the next, is as seamless as possible. Our nation is at war, we are dealing with a financial crisis, and we are trying to protect ourselves from terrorist attacks.

President Bush directed the White House and the entire administration to be thinking about these issues and to work to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible,

This morning the President signed an executive order on the presidential transition. It will help coordinate efforts that are already underway. This will ensure the seamless transition that the President has called for. Staff here at the White House and other officials throughout the administration have already been working with transition representatives from the two major party candidates.

The EO released today creates a Transition Coordinating Council, and that will coordinate all of the transition efforts of the agencies. The first meeting of that council will be October 15th, next Wednesday at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The Transition Coordinating Council includes people with authority and expertise relevant to presidential transitions, and in areas of special focus, including national security, homeland security, and our economy.

I believe it's fair to say that we are doing more than has been done before to prepare. And there are a couple of reasons for that. Things are a little bit different now. One thing that's different is that we have a Department of Homeland Security that we did not have in 2000. Of course, there wasn't a need for a transition in 2004. Also, in 2004, the Intel Reform Act was passed. And that bill allowed sitting presidents to start working with major party candidates' designees prior to the President-elect being named.

We've been in contact with both candidates' transition teams by phone and in person. That started last summer -- this past summer 2008, to be clear. We've worked to facilitate security clearances for key transitional personnel from both teams. We've worked to establish working groups within the White House and throughout the administration to outline internal roles and responsibilities. Each agency has been directed by the President to prepare briefing materials. And also, career executives at the agencies have been involved in a range of activities to ensure that they're ready to provide continuity during the transition.

We've provided information to assist in identifying the most important positions to focus on, including details relating to responsibilities as well as the appointment, security clearance, and confirmation processes. Throughout our discussion and efforts, I would characterize the two candidates' transition teams as being very cooperative in spirit and tone. Each candidate's designees have been treated equitably. All information that is shared with one is shared with the other and at the same time. This is not about politics; this is about doing the very best for our nation. And I'll be happy to answer any questions on it that you have.

The Euro at 10: The Next Global Currency?
http://www.petersoninstitute.org/events/event_detail.cfm?EventID=89

IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn gave his first major public speech surrounding the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings at the conference "The Euro at 10: The Next Global Currency?" The all-day conference, cohosted by the Peterson Institute and Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, explored questions centered on how the current global financial crisis will affect the relative positions of the euro and the dollar as global currencies.

Maybe a fix proposed this weekend will be a "currency" that represents a combination of currencies of the world's economic leaders. It will provide stability, right?
 
yeah... perhaps this world crash was staged; a conspiracy to destroy independent banks world-wide, to create just one World Bank... with one currency... the Euro. It'll be run by an entity called "United Financial Nations" in Switzerland. Global financial stabilization. They have assumed control. :nuts:

I wonder if a new world bank will be created in the coming weeks, or even this weekend.

It really doesn't need to be staged. The debt system will eventually collapse, which is probably right now.
 
Hey, what happened to all the doom and gloom? How are you all feeling about this rise? bottom? bounce? what?
 
Can't you see my smoke trail - don't strain that neck looking up. I'm going to buy another ten stocks, momentarily. I've already been killed once so double jeopardy doesn't apply.
