And why is he still not committed to the debate, when he is demonstrating tonight that he believes the process can continue without his direct input?

It's ridiculously hypocritical to me. Again, I personally don't think he needs to be in Washington (I think since he got there it's gotten worse), but if he is going to make a huge fuss about how he has to be present, how can he then not be there?
I was wondering where you read that they went home at 5. That's interesting to me. Normally Drudge keeps me pretty up to date, but all I'm seeing is that they left the meeting when it ended (same as everybody else I presume) and that now Bernanke and Paulson are headed back to the Hill tonight with no mention of who they're meeting with. The Hill on the other hand says "All parties were expected to work into the night."

So I was just wondering where said that since apparently there is some contradictory information about what is going on.
