...first two months of 2009. But, even school children who hone their skills trading mock accounts online know that two months do not make a quarter, especially in banking. Some auditor may mention that Citi's toxic assets ran into more trouble in this quarter or that its consumer credit and LBO businesses needed to be adjusted for bad debt. Simply put, Pandit's comments did not mean...
...through the details. (Really, when a report is titled "Swimming Against the Tide," you know there's not much good news forthcoming.) The World Bank paints a downright dismal picture of the growth prospects for developing countries, which are just now beginning to feel the full repercussions of the credit crisis that started in the United States.

Even nonpartisans would agree that George W. Bush waded into the Iraq mess with more certainty than strategy. And Bill and Hillary Clinton might actually have achieved health-care reform if they had tried negotiating with...
...thing Dodd has done of late is tack hard to populism. He has held hearings on credit-card abuses and introduced stringent legislation to prevent companies from luring consumers into dangerous amounts of debt. Last October, Senate majority leader Harry Reid took the unusual move of overriding a Democratic hold on a bill after Dodd tried to block an extension of President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping powers over concerns from the left about granting telecom giants retroactive immunity for working with the Administration. Most notably, Dodd, against the wishes of the White House, slipped into the stimulus bill...
