What do think of Senator Reid Slams Bush's Handling Of The Economy?

“One thing is for certain,” Mr. Bush said in brief remarks in the Roosevelt Room. “We’re in challenging times.” Democrats in Congress reacted harshly, with the Senate’s majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, saying the White House was willing “to bail out Wall Street at taxpayer expense,” even as it opposed legislation intended to ease the financial crunch on mortgages. Mr. Bush’s handling of the economy also spilled into the presidential campaign, though not strictly along party lines. Senator John McCain’s campaign issued a statement expressing confidence in the Fed and its chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, but pointedly excluding any reference to the president. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/business/17cnd-bush.html?_r=1&ref=business&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin
