One of his main economic advisors is/was Phil Gramm who's probably personally more responsible for this econoimic mess than just about anyone else. There is NO way Buffett would take any job in the government. Sadly he supported the 700 billion Paulson plan. However, I'd like to see someone like Ron Paul, who actuals understands macro economic issues, in a position like Treasury Secretary. Of course, I don't know if we'd be willing to take the harse medicine to get us off the debt based currency, fiat money system of fractional reserve banking. McCain is all over the place.

This is the most dynamic political environment i've ever seen.

While he got very good terms (preferred shares, 10% dividend, warrants, etc.); it still feels like this crisis has more time to run. Buffett was on CNBC yesterday commenting on the bailout bill. He supports it and said he'd participate in 1% of it if he got the same terms as Treasury. One of Buffett's challenges is the large amount of capital he has to allocate each year. Thus he's looking for whales not minnows. Thus he's picked up WMT shares, GE, GS, in the last few years. Those are huge companies. As for what investments are priced to deliver a double digit return. I ask myself that question daily. When I have some ideas for the group, I’ll post them. I am real curious about Warren Buffett’s entry point in both GS and GE.
