<\/span>Warren Buffett has made no secret of his opposition to President George W. Bush’s policies and actions during his eight years in the White House.<\/p>\n

<\/span>But Buffett said today that after reading former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s new book on the credit crisis, he has a greater appreciation of Mr. Bush’s understanding of the crisis and the president’s willingness to do what was needed to prevent a complete economic collapse.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Buffett also admiringly recalled Mr. Bush’s concise and simple summary of the situation at the height of the crisis: “If money doesn’t loosen up, this sucker could go down.”<\/p>\n
