At the White House, Old Smith walked from the oval office along the short corridor into the cabinet meeting room to meet with Donkey leader O'Neal and McCain.

The people present today can be said to have gathered the most powerful group in the United States. This is a fairly heavy team, gathered to discuss the financial crisis solution.

The President, Vice President, McCain, O'Neal, Paulson sat at the mahogany desk in the Oval Office, surrounded by House and Senate leaders, Old Smith, Peroz ...

Many other staff members sat along the wall, and some sat in front of the French gate towards the rose garden.

Xiaofei shoes looked around for a week, with a serious expression, a sincere tone, and a low voice. "We have a common goal, and we need to work together to take action as soon as possible to achieve our goal."

In Xiao Fei Xie's speech, Old Smith's attention was focused on the expressions of the politicians present, each of them represents a different interest, and in some cases will definitely insist on uncompromising stance, see Paulson was also looking at this group of people, his face was a bit ugly, it seems that the finance minister should feel a strong ominous sign.

Xiao Fei shoes dumped the pot to Paulson, and Paulson's solemn start again described the tragic situation on the market and the necessity of emergency power. When he was finished, Xiaofei shoes said that he had a simple test to make a decision on the issue: "If Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke say this works and helps stabilize the market, we support it. "

As a matter of courtesy, Xiao Fei Xie turned to the Speaker of the House of Representatives to ask her to speak. When Pelosi spoke, it was clear that the Donkeys had already done their homework and planned to make a skilful response to McCain.

"Ou Niu will represent the Donkey Party members." Pei Po is a very difficult person, especially after being elected Speaker of the House, but it seems that the Donkey Party has reached a consensus. "Ou Niu has been working with me in good faith to work out an agreement."

Okuno then started acting, giving a thoughtful, well-prepared speech, sketching the outline of the issue, and emphasizing the need for immediate action

He passed over the general discussions on Capitol Hill, and then mentioned the need to adjust regulatory measures and management compensation, as well as the need to help homeowners. He speaks without a speech, rarely uses a speech reminder, and is quite eloquent.

"Democrats will vote in favour." He insisted.

But Old Smith would not think that this group of opponents would agree so easily. Sure enough, he then triggered a trap set by the Donkey Party: "Yesterday, Senator McCain and I issued a joint statement, unanimously I think this is not the time to play politics. On the way here, our agreement is at stake again. Now, some people think that we should start over ... if we really start again, the consequences could be very serious. "

Obviously, according to old Smith, there is no agreement at all. Someone has done a good job and believed someone's external performance. Old Smith was expressionless, sneering in his heart, watching the little guy in front of him play tricks in front of him.

Obviously, the Austrian bulls and donkeys cleverly set up a plot that McCain's intervention only polarized the situation, as if the party members were deviating from the agreement. Throwing all the pots to the Elephant Party is a brilliant political drama that is about to evolve into a farce.

Xiao Fei shoes also noticed the intentions of these guys, and skipped the etiquette procedure to McCain directly, and gave him a chance to respond: "I think this is fair, I give you the next opportunity to speak."

"I'll wait for my turn." McCain wasn't grateful for it. Instead, he just lost his face. "In any sense, this is an incredible moment. We need to follow the procedure."

In McCain's view, the meeting was originally his meeting. It was him, not the president, who called the meeting. The president just needed to facilitate the wishes of his presidential candidate.

It now appears that McCain has no plans at all, he interrupted his campaign and called everyone to a meeting. This is not a strategy, but a political trick, and the Donkeys use traps to fight McCain's tricks.

"I'm not talking about a brand new agreement, but we do need to adjust the key parts of the plan." McCain's **** will naturally not get him into trouble, and Xunxu proposed an unformed insurance plan.

*** looked at Paulson with a smile and asked, "Is this plan inconsistent with our efforts elsewhere?"

"no."

When the meeting was broken by multilateral talks and people were talking to each other, etiquette was gradually set aside. Shelby waved a pile of documents claiming they were from the hands of more than 100 economists, all of whom considered the troubled asset rescue plan a bad idea.

He said that we need time to consider this plan.

Xiaofei interjected, "No, the current situation requires us to take action. We don't have time to hold a hearing with a group of economists."

McCain remained silent and didn't speak. In the end, O'Neal raised his voice in a hustle and bustle, saying, "I want to hear what Senator McCain wants to say, because we haven't heard him speak."

The meeting room became silent, all eyes turned to McCain sitting in a chair holding a reminder card. He glanced quickly at the cue card and began to make a few general points.

"Many lawmakers have legitimate concerns, and I have begun to steer management compensation and supervision in the right direction ..."

When he heard that he believed that a consensus could be reached soon, Old Smith still looked at him unchanged, cursing in his heart, this idiot, he was not prepared at all, what was he to smash his own feet, As he spoke, Old Smith saw the Black Bulls laughing secretly.

McCain's remarks are at least arrogant. His return to Washington was a risky impulse. Old Smith didn't think he was in xiong. This idiot might mess everything up and couldn't help the mud on the wall!

Old Smith knew that he couldn't continue like this. Even McCain was an idiot, and he couldn't let the donkeys throw their incompetent pots on the elephants. He coughed twice, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

"McCain's efforts have been beneficial, he has focused public attention on troubled asset bailout programs and has stimulated Congress to take action."

Old Smith only needed to be in support of McCain. Naturally someone would come forward to wave the flag and soon, other senators jumped out and said, "Even though our House Elephants did not endorse a certain agreement, , But we are proud to have successfully incorporated strong taxpayer protection policies ... "

Pei interrupted at this time, "Taxpayer protection is our business, not yours. Don't put powder on your face!"

Looking at the scene where he started to interrupt each other, Old Smith smiled slightly and restored the original look of cold eyes, and Xiao Fei shoes saw the loud scene, but reluctantly spoke to try to restore order. Soon, Pea and Old Smith's brother directly tore his face and shouted at each other. The meeting room was in chaos, and members of the House of Representatives and the Senate had a full-scale quarrel around the table. Okuro started calling out to McCain, who was sitting silently.

"What is your proposal?" He urged. "What is your plan like the party?"

The situation became so funny that Vice President Cheney started laughing. The first time Paulson saw this scene, he stood on the spot and looked at it all at a loss.

Frankly, nominated officials such as Paulson who have been on the road halfway through their careers will never have seen such a position before in political or commercial settings, and they may not even have met in his college brotherhood. Pull up the sleeve and tear it open.

In the end, Xiao Fei shoes glanced at Old Smith. Old Smith just nodded his head slightly, Xiao Fei shoes suddenly stood up, took a picture of the desktop, and said loudly, "Well, obviously I have lost Control of the meeting. The meeting adjourned. "

fxxk!

Looking at the people who were about to start, just after the president's words fell, one by one, just like everyone else, left the conference room with a smile, leaving only shock and frustration for Paulson. This time he not only witnessed an unexpected behavior, he even did not reach any agreement. If anything, it seems that people are more alienated than before.

Donkeys gathered in the Roosevelt Hall, while Paulson, with a somber smile on his face, passed by, and saw the chattering Donkeys inside, starting to worry that they would fan the media when they left. So he bite and decided to approach them, persuading them to stop.

Everyone crowded around the Oku Niu at the western end of the room, and when they saw Paulson coming in, they were upset.

"Please leave, you are not welcome here ..."

"What are you doing here, overheard!"

"Leave now!"

Driven by all kinds, Paulson, surrounded by some, did not know what to do. His face flushed, suppressing his internal humiliation, and separating the crowd with his hands. He went to Peo and bent one knee, and bowed to the altar of the Speaker of the House.

"Nancy."

Pei first froze, then flashed her eyebrows and laughed: "Oh, Hank, I don't know you are a Catholic."

"Don't mess it up." Paulson nearly grinded his teeth and said a grinning smile that was uglier than crying. "This is a difficult meeting, I admit it, but we all need to be united."

"It's not us who want to mess up." Pei Po stood up from the chair, said with a sneer, and then turned to leave, and the others followed, leaving only the chair to stand up with a blue face.
