Before everyone starts crying, remember, market right now on a lot of those assets would be like 20 cents but thats simply because the market is an injured lion in the desert and the buyers are the circling vultures.

Therein lies the problem. No one even trusts the government with a tiny if, not to mention a big IF. The chance of us ever seeing that money if Obama is elected is 10%. If McCain is elected it is 0%. Sounds like a great deal. Where is the negotiator for the taxpayers in all this?
