No wonder he got into politics. His abilities as a businessman would have left him destitute.

Apparently Barney Frank went to the same B school as Bush.

"I think this is a case where Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM) are fundamentally sound. They're not in danger of going under…I think they are in good shape going forward." —Barney Frank (D-Mass.), House Financial Services Committee chairman, July 14, 2008


And this gem from Jim Cramer,
"I think Bob Steel's the one guy I trust to turn this bank around, which is why I've told you on weakness to buy Wachovia." —Jim Cramer, CNBC commentator, Mar. 11, 2008


And another good one, this one is from Bernie Madoff. It's a little old but quite apropos.
"In today's regulatory environment, it's virtually impossible to violate rules." —Bernard Madoff, money manager, Oct. 20, 2007


How about one for all you T. Boone Pickens fans.
"I think you'll see [oil prices at] $150 a barrel by the end of the year" —T. Boone Pickens, June 20, 2008

Further evidence that economics is an art or a kind of knack, not a science.
