McNay is on the Air and in Print With Financial-Crisis Commentary

NEW YORK Syndicated financial columnist Don McNay is continuing to write and comment about America's financial crisis.

Yesterday, for instance, he taped a segment with WTVQ-TV in Lexington, Ky. And this morning, McNay was scheduled to appear on 1190 KEX News Radio in Portland, Ore.

In his most recent column on the financial crisis, McNay wrote: "The leadership styles of President Bush and Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson have contributed to the problem. Great presidents reassure the country in times of crisis. Look at Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington.

"I've never seen a great president scold or scare the American people into going along with a program. Both Paulson and Bush showed neither confidence, nor optimism. They seemed nervous and distracted. They didn't appear to have a handle on the situation."

McNay is treasurer of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists
