  Remarking on the Fed’s rescue of AIG, the Los Angeles Times commented this morning that it seems to be an “abrupt about-face” in position considering that the Fed did not bail out Lehman Brothers as it filed for bankruptcy protection (after having bailed out Bear Stearns earlier this year). All of this rocking the boat may be making the nation’s financial markets a little queasy as the Fed decides which side its bread is buttered on.
