Where is Bush and the Congress?

The distinctly striking thing about the ongoing crisis in the US is the star cast. The merits of it apart, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, with their support staff, and not President Bush and the Congress, are clearly managing the crisis.

Can we imagine a similar scenario in India - Mr P Chidamabaram and Dr D Subba Rao leaving Dr Manmohan Singh (or Sonia Gandhi) and the Parliament as bystanders?
