Voting on Bailout Package Now....

[linda22003]

From what I've been hearing our buddies in D.C. had their phones ringing off the hook since they walked into their offices. And the American people didn't want this bailout to pass.

Then I hope they're happy they got their wish. This fantasy that people seem to have that "Wall Street" and "Main Street" are two completely separate, non-intersecting entities is about to bump up against reality.

Obama Campaign co-chair Jesse Jackson, Jr. voted against the bill.

This decision yesterday was engineered by someone that’s running for the White House in 2012:

Newt did it.

It's the Republicans who voted it down. I'm not in the mood for you today, you insufferable asshole.

Half full-Half empty. Either the Republicans voted it down or the DIMS failed to vote for it. Either way it failed and I believe that is a good thing.

Right now all I see is fear. The markets prove that since currently there is no Socialist bill passed yet no meltdown.

The rumor of a bill, not a bill, magically made the DOW ascend. This suggests to me that no Socialist measures are required despite the current Chicken Little economic decisions of the last week.

I mean, after all, McCain suspended his campaign to ensure it would pass, didn't he?

Not this bill specifically.

Newt was against it, before he was for it.
