bush, happy as a clam



President George W. Bush and Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr., enjoy a chuckle together at Bush’s comment, “The economy is fixed, now, and we still have another half-hour scheduled. What else can we fix today?”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (foreground) is slow to catch the rich irony and respond, much as he has been slow to recognize the threat of inflation to our overall economic stability. Moments later, after this photo was taken, Bernanke had a moment of recognition and laughed last and best (about the irony; not the inflationary threat).
