King Henry I of America tours his kingdom

Secretary of Treasury Henry Paulson just walked the floors of the New York Stock Exchange to the vigorous applause of traders. He even gave out autographs, as CNBC followed his regal tour.

The appeal of America's first monarch there is understandable. He bailed out all their jobs and greed with multi-bailouts of Wall Street fatcats and Main Street bankers with $1 trillion in taxpayer in money.

There's one place you won't find Paulson -- among you and me in grocery stores and other places where there is no who has been bailed out.

Paulson is a hypocrite of the worst extreme. He's a former Wall Street fatcat who made his mark and money from deregulated greed. Now he is making the rich richer at our expense.

Don't come here, Mr. Secretary. You'll find no applause or requests for autographs. We don't respect kings who have been given authority over our lands and lives.
