At the White House, Smith, the Elder, walked from the Oval Office along the short corridor to the cabinet meeting room, meeting with Donkey Party leaders O'Hainiu and McCain.

The people who attended today can be said to have gathered the most powerful group in the United States. This is a very important team that will gather together to discuss solutions to the financial crisis.

President, Vice President, McCain, O'Haibull, Paulson sat at the Oval Office's mahogany desk, surrounded by leaders of the House and Senate, Smith, Peroshi...

Many other staff members sat along the wall, while others sat in front of the French doors facing the Rose Garden.

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

When Xiao Feishao spoke, Old Smith focused on the expressions of the politicians present. Each of them represented different interests and would definitely stick to their positions without compromise in some cases. Seeing Paulson also looking at the group of people, his face looked a little ugly. It seemed that the Treasury Secretary should have felt a strong ominous sign.

Xiao Feishe threw the blame on Paulson, who began to describe the tragic situation in the market and the necessity of emergency powers again. When he finished speaking, Xiao Feishe said 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 will support it."

According to etiquette, Xiao Feishe turned to the Speaker of the House to ask her to speak. When Pelosi spoke, it was obvious that the Donkeys had done their homework and planned to respond skillfully to McCain.

"Ohaeiu will represent the donkey party members." Peppa is a very difficult person, especially after being elected as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. However, it seems that there has been a consensus within the donkey party. "Ohaeiu has been working sincerely with me to make an agreement."

Then O'Hainiu began his performance, delivered a thoughtful and well-prepared speech, painted the outline of the issue, and stressed the need for immediate action

He passed by the general situation discussed on Capitol Hill, and then mentioned the need to adjust regulatory measures and management compensation, as well as the need to help homeowners. His speeches were not made, he rarely used speech prompts, and he was quite eloquent.

"The Democrats will vote for it," he insisted.

But Smith, the old man would not think that these opponents would agree so simply. Sure enough, he then touched the trap set by the donkey party: "Yesterday, Senator McCain and I issued a joint statement that unanimously agreed that now is not the time to play politics. On the way here, our agreement is in jeopardy. Now, some people think we should start over... If we really start over, the consequences may be very serious."

But it is obvious that according to what Old Smith has mastered, there is no agreement at all. Someone once fell into a trap and believed someone's external behavior. Old Smith had a expressionless face, a sneer in his heart, and he looked at the little guy in front of him playing tricks in front of him.

It is obvious that the O'Hai Bull and the Donkey Party cleverly set up a plot where McCain's intervention polarized the situation and the Elephant Party was deviating from the agreement. Blaming all the blame on the Elephant Party is a clever political drama that is about to turn into a farce.

Xiao Feijia also noticed the intentions of these guys, and skipped the etiquette program and turned to McCain, giving him a chance to respond: "I think this is fair, I will give you the next opportunity to speak."

"I will wait for my turn." McCain did not be grateful for this, but instead directly retorted without giving him face. "In any sense, this is an incredible moment. We need to follow the procedures."

In McCain's view, this meeting was originally his meeting, and it was him, not the president, who just needed to facilitate the will of his presidential candidate.

It seems that McCain has no plan at all, he interrupted his campaign and called everyone to a meeting. This is not a strategy, but a political trick, while 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 hardcore naturally won't get him into trouble, and Xunsu proposed the idea of ​​an unformed insurance plan.

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

"No."

When the meeting was broken by multilateral talks and people whispered to each other, etiquette was gradually thrown aside. Shelby waved a stack of documents claiming they were from more than 100 economists, all of whom believed that the problematic asset bailout was a bad idea.

He said we need time to think about this plan.

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

McCain remained silent and did not speak. Finally, O'Haibuk raised his voice in the midst of a hustle and shouted: "I want to hear what Senator McCain is going to say, because we haven't heard him yet."

The conference room became silent, and all eyes were turned to McCain, who was quietly sitting in a chair holding a prompt card. He glanced at the prompt card quickly and began to make several general opinions.

“Many members of parliament have reasonable concerns, and I have begun to guide the management’s salary and supervision in the right direction…”

When he heard him say that he believed that a consensus could be reached soon, Old Smith looked at him with a constant expression and cursed in his heart, "This idiot, he was not prepared at all. What does it mean to shoot himself in the foot?" When he spoke, Old Smith saw O'Hainiu laughing secretly.

McCain's speech was a startling and slashing statement to the least. His return to Washington was a risky and impulse. Old Smith didn't think he was confident. This idiot might mess up everything and couldn't help the mud on the wall!

Old Smith knew that he could not continue like this. Even McCain was an idiot, but he could not let the donkey party members blame the incompetence on the Elephant party. He coughed twice, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

“McCain’s efforts were beneficial, he focused the public on the problem asset bailout program and stimulated Congress to take action.”

Smith, the old man, only needs to support McCain, and then someone will come forward to echo and shout. Soon, other senators jumped out and said: "Although our House of Representatives does not recognize a certain agreement, we are proud to successfully incorporate a strong taxpayer protection policy..."

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

Looking at the scene where they began to interrupt each other's speeches, Old Smith smiled faintly and returned to his original appearance of watching coldly. When Xiao Feishang saw the quarrel, he spoke helplessly to try to restore order. Soon, Peppa and Old Smith's younger brother broke up and shouted at each other. The conference room was in chaos, and the members of the House and Senate broke out in a full-scale quarrel around the table. O'Hai Bull began to shout loudly, sitting in a silent face.

"What are your proposals?" he urged, "What are your plans for the party?"

The situation became extremely funny, and Vice President Cheney began to laugh out loud. Paulson, who saw this scene for the first time, stood there and looked at all at a loss.

Frankly speaking, officials like Paulson who became monks and were appointed in halfway through the journey would never have seen such a situation in political or commercial situations before, and even he might not have seen him in college fraternity, so he would just roll up his sleeves and tear each other up.

Finally, Xiao Feishao glanced at Old Smith. Old Smith just nodded slightly with expressionless face. Xiao Feishao stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Okay, it's obvious that I have lost control of the meeting. The meeting ends."

fxxxk!

Seeing the people who were about to take action just now, they left the conference room just as the president finished speaking, just like nothing happened, Paulson was left with only shock and frustration. This time he not only witnessed the unpredictable style of conduct, but also did not even reach any agreement. If anything, it was that people seemed to be more alienated than before.

The donkey party members gathered in Roosevelt Hall. When Paulson passed by with a serious and wry smile, he saw the hot donkey party members chatting inside and began to worry that they would fan the flames at the media when they left. So he bit and decided to approach them and advised them to stop at the right time.

Everyone surrounded O'Hei Bulls at the western end of the room, and when they saw Paulson coming in, they were in an uproar.

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

"What are you doing in? Eavesdropping!"

"Leave now!"

Driven away by various things, Paulson surrounded by the middle, didn't know what to do. His face turned red, suppressed the humiliation in his heart, and separated the crowd with his hands. He walked to Peppa and bent one knee, and bowed to the altar of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

"Nancy."

Peppa was stunned at first, then raised her eyebrows and flashed a slight joke, and laughed loudly: "Oh, Hank, I don't know you are a Catholic."

"Don't mess it up." Paulson said, almost shattering his teeth, a grin that was more ugly than crying, "It's a tough meeting, I admit, but we all need unity."
