Most people suffering from the world financial meltdown seem to forget that this credit crunch from the last few months, doesn’t always bring out the worst in people, but sometimes it provokes the best. Henry Waxman, a Democratic congressman, was able to make a summary of the angry thoughts of the little investors and presented them directly to the CEO of the bankrupt Lehman Brothers. With Waxman’s questions, asked with his gently voice, such as: ‘Is it fair though your company is bankrupt, you still get to keep 480 million dollars?’, it was possible that the real culprits of this financial crises for once had to account for their actions.
That is why the title of the scariest politician of Washington belongs for the moment to Henry Waxman.

Mind lower level details of English (commas, articles, adjectives). The third sentence could do wth some rewriting to improve flow.
