At the White House, Smith Sr. walked down the short hallway from the Oval Office to the cabinet room, where he met with donkey party leaders Obama and McCain.

Today's attendees are a group of the most powerful people in the United States. This is a team with considerable weight. They will come together to discuss solutions to the financial crisis.

The president, vice president, McCain, o'heiniu and Paulson are sitting at the mahogany desk in the Oval Office, surrounded by the leaders of the house and Senate, old Smith and Pelosi...

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

Looking around for a week, Xiaofei shoe said with a serious expression, sincere tone and deep voice: "we have a common goal, and we need to work together to take action as soon as possible to achieve our goal."

In xiaofeixie's speech, old Smith's attention was focused on looking at the expressions of the politicians present. Each of them represents different interests. In some cases, they will absolutely stand firm and never compromise. It seems that Paulson is also looking at these people. His face is ugly. It seems that the finance minister feels a strong omen.

Xiaofei shoes left the pot to Paulson, whose solemn face once again described the miserable situation in the market and the necessity of emergency power. When he finished, Xiaofei shoes said that he had a simple test to make a decision on this issue: "if Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke say it works and helps stabilize the market, we will support it."

According to etiquette, Xiaofei shoes turned to the speaker of the house of representatives to ask her to speak. When Pelosi spoke, it was clear that the donkeys had done their homework and planned to respond skillfully to McCain.

"O'heiniu will represent the donkeys." Peipo is a very difficult person, especially after she was elected speaker of the house of Representatives, but it seems that consensus has been reached within the donkey party. "O'heiniu has been working with me in good faith to work out an agreement."

Then, o'heiniu began to perform, delivered a thoughtful and well prepared speech, sketched out the outline of the problem, and stressed the need for immediate action

he passed the general situation discussed in Capitol Hill, and then mentioned the need to adjust regulatory measures and management compensation, as well as the need to help housing owners. He doesn't have a speech, rarely uses a teleprompter, and is eloquent.

"Democrats will vote for it." He insisted.

But old Smith didn't think this group of 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, agreeing that this is not the time to play politics. On our way here, our agreement is in jeopardy again. Now, some people think we should start from scratch... If we do start over, the consequences could be very serious. "

But it is clear that there is no agreement at all, according to the old Smith. Someone once had a plan to believe in someone's external performance. Old Smith's face was expressionless, and he had a sneer in his heart. He watched the little guy in front of him play a flowery tune.

It's clear that Obama and the donkeys have cleverly set up a scenario in which McCain's intervention polarized the situation, as if the party were deviating from the agreement. It's a brilliant political drama to leave all the pots to Xiangdang. It's going to turn into a farce.

Xiaofei shoes, aware of the intentions of these guys, went straight to McCain and gave him a chance to respond: "I think it's fair. I'll give you the next chance to speak."

"I'll wait for my turn." Instead of thanking him for it, McCain went back with no face. "In any sense, this is an incredible moment. We need to follow the procedure. "

In McCain's view, this meeting was originally his meeting, which was convened by him rather than the president. The president just needs to facilitate the wishes of his presidential candidate.

Now, McCain seems to have no plans at all. He cut off his campaign and called everyone to a meeting. It's not a strategy, it's a political ploy, and the donkeys use traps to fight McCain's ploy.

"I'm not talking about a new deal, but we do need to adjust key parts of the plan." McCain's iron core will not get him into trouble. Xun Xun quickly put forward the idea of an unformed insurance plan.

***Looking at Paulson with a smile on his face, he asked, "is this plan inconsistent with our efforts elsewhere?"

"No."

When the meeting was broken by multilateral talks and people were whispering to each other, etiquette was gradually put aside. Shelby waved a stack of documents, claiming they were from more than 100 economists, all of whom thought the troubled asset relief plan was a bad idea.

'we need time to think about the plan,' he said.

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

McCain remained silent and did not speak. In the end, o'heiniu raised his voice in the uproar. "I want to hear what Senator McCain is going to say, because we haven't heard him yet," he saidThe conference room became silent, and all eyes turned to McCain, who was sitting in a chair holding a cue card. He took a quick glance at the cue card and began to make a few general points.

"A lot of MPs have legitimate concerns, and I've started to guide management pay and regulation in the right direction..."

When he heard that he believed that a consensus could be reached soon, old Smith looked at him with the same face and cursed in his heart. This idiot, he was not prepared at all, what is to lift a stone and hit his foot? When he spoke, old Smith saw that o'heiniu was laughing secretly.

McCain's speech is, to say the least, a tightheaded one. His return to Washington is an act of adventure. Old Smith doesn't think he's in Xiong. This idiot may mess up everything and can't help the mud on the wall!

Old Smith knew that he could not go on like this. Even if McCain was an idiot, he could not let the donkey party throw the pot of incompetence on the elephant party. He coughed twice, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"McCain's efforts have been helpful in focusing public attention on the Troubled Asset Relief Program and stimulating congressional action," he said

Old Smith just needs to support McCain. Then, naturally, some people will come forward to cheer. Soon, other senators will jump out and say, "although our house elephant party didn't approve an agreement, we are proud of successfully incorporating a strong taxpayer protection policy..."

"It's our business, not yours, to protect taxpayers," she interrupted. Don't powder your face! "

Looking at the scene when he began to interrupt each other, old Smith smiled in his heart, and recovered the original look of watching coldly, while xiaofeixie saw the scene of the uproar, but he said helplessly to try to restore order. Soon, peipo and old Smith's little brother directly tore their faces and shouted at each other. The conference room was in a mess, with members of the house and the Senate arguing all around the table. Obama black bull began to shout out to McCain, who had no expression and sat still.

"What is your proposal?" He urged, "what is your party plan?"

The situation became so funny that Vice President Cheney began to laugh. Paulson, who saw this scene for the first time, stood directly on the spot and looked at it all at a loss.

Frankly speaking, the appointed officials like Paulson would not have seen this kind of situation in political or commercial occasions before, even in his college brotherhood, so they had to pull up their sleeves and tear each other apart.

Finally, Xiaofei shoes took a look at old Smith, who just nodded his head a little expressionless. Xiaofei shoes suddenly stood up, took a picture of the table, and said loudly: "well, obviously I have lost control of the meeting. Break up. "

Fxxxk!

looking at the people who were about to start just now, just after the president's voice fell, they left the conference room just like no one else, talking and laughing. Paulson was only shocked and depressed. This time, he not only witnessed the unexpected behavior, but also did not reach any agreement. If anything, it seems that people are more distant than before.

When the donkeys gathered in Roosevelt hall and Paulson passed by with a solemn and wry smile, they saw the hot talking donkeys inside and began to worry that they would fan the flames to the media when they left. So he decided to get close to them and advised them to stop.

Everyone gathered around the black ox at the west end of the room, and when they saw Paulson coming in, they were all in a rage.

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

"What are you doing in here, eavesdropping?"

"Leave now!"

Driven by all kinds of driving, surrounded by Paulson some do not know what to do. His face turned red, he forced his inner humiliation and separated the crowd with his hands. He went to peipo and knelt down to the altar of the speaker of the house of Representatives.

"Nancy.".

Peipo was stunned first, then she picked up her eyebrows and flashed a flash of banter, laughing loudly: "Oh, Hank, I didn't know you were Catholic."

"Don't mess it up." "It's a tough meeting, I admit, but we all need to be united," Paulson said, almost breaking his teeth and forcing a smile that was worse than crying

"It's not us who's trying to screw it up." Peipo stood up from the chair and said with a sneer. Then she turned around and left, followed by the others, leaving only Paulson standing up with a face of iron.
