Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit Highlights: Arianna, Meredith Whitney, Melinda Gates (VIDEO)

Fortune:

Here on Postcards, you'll find a trove of video segments from last week's Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit. Click here to watch a riveting take on the fall of Lehman Brothers by Barbara Byrne, a vice chairman who spent 28 years at the now-bankrupt firm. Today, since Barclays bought Lehman's North American core, Byrne is a vice chairman at Barclays Capital (BCS).

We also just posted the first of several highlights of my Summit interview with Melinda Gates, the lesser-known half of the world's most generous philanthropic couple. As I noted in a Fortune cover story on Melinda -- her first profile, which appeared in January -- she and Bill will almost certainly give away more than $100 billion in their lifetimes. Already they've disbursed more money than the Rockefeller Foundation since its founding nearly a century ago. And now, with their pal Warren Buffett's fortune in their fold, they're just getting started. Click here to see Melinda Gates talking with me about how to fix U.S. education.

Arianna,

We are proud of you and we need you on board as this Crisis gets worse!

They CONTINUE TO SLING MUD WHILE AMERICA TANKS! What Happened to AMERICA FIRST?

Bush/Cheney must GO or CONFIDENCE can not be Restored UNTIL JANUARY and that WILL BE TOO LONG as AMERICA CONTINUES TO SINK!

This Crisis and Oil Price hikes were caused by Republican TRICKS using "Illegal Leveraging" and "ILLEGAL NAKED SHORTSING" of financials and other stocks.

Republicans probably are happy that Oil is lower during the election but prices dropped starting in July at the "HEIGHT of the DRIVING SEASON." WHY?

It Coincides with two simultaneous investigations in late June:

1. Congress investigation of "Crooks" doing "ILLEGAL LEVERAGING of OIL" -pennies on a Dollar!
2. Finally under pressure from Congress SEC began investigating "ILLEGAL NAKED SHORTING" of Financials and other stocks!

As soon as these two investigations began the OIL MARKET BEGAN TO TANK 23% and FINANCIALS went up 22.5% in about one MONTH.

Then the "CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE HIT" as everyone stopped trusting everyone else!

This simply shows how completely CORRUPT our Markets are!

Bush/Cheney must GO or CONFIDENCE CAN NOT BE RESTORED UNTIL JANUARY and that WILL BE TOO LONG as AMERICA CONTINUES TO SINK!
