you know, a lot of people trusted you. you don't have anything to say? >> bill: o'neill had nothing to say. he is the poster guy for what's wrong with wall street. but the present economic mess is not o'neill's fault, problem we have now is because barack obama's bet that almost a trillion dollars in federal stimulus could turn the economy around failed. president took a shot. it fell flat. all the protests in the world will not change that fact. so what you see on the streets of new york, boston and other cities is not what you get. there are heavy politics involved. and that is a memo. now, for another view on this, are the poor and middle class americans getting hosed? this week on pbs, tavis smiley running a series saying yes, they are. there are about 46 million americans living below the poverty line. 15% of the population.
