Henry Paulson was head of Goldman Sachs until appointed to Treasury in June 2006.
This video is a bit.....sarcastic? The first video may not be neutral, but it is much more factual and informative than popular media spin. NYTimes has a mainstream criticism article.

Second.
My prediction on Monday being a crash may, unfortunately, be correct. Also, printing cash may yield a dollar crash as I blogged, as per this Bloomberg article. At a minimum Monday is looking to open up down big. Root cause? Options expired Saturday, and its a grab for cash by financial institutions who are allowed to short. The industry did something similar on January 22nd with co-ordination by the Fed. That day we opened down big, then around 10 am announcement was made to "save" the markets.
UPDATE: Press drumming up story that public is mad about bailout. Yea, give this token press as the politicians pass the bill in record time.
