For Kevin:

1st: McSame didn’t “suspend” anything–all his commercials still aired; he didn’t return to DC until 36 hours after he made his melodramatic announcement; he gave interviews to CBS and others; he went out to dinner with Lieberman and their wives; he did pretty much all his talking by phone; he spent more time at his VA home than in the Capitol.

2nd: If the Repugs voted against the bill because their feelings were hurt by da Big, Mean Lady, well for Christ’s sake, grow up, grow a pair, and get over yourselves.

3rd: McSame’s politicization of the process harmed it terribly, even though he did NOTHING but muddy the waters with his histrionics. Seriously, McSame can bitch and whine just as well as Pelosi.

Well, Prez.Bush will make a pitch for bailout again on Tue, 9/30 – It’s sad that the top guy in the world does not understand the word “NO”. We the people do not want Wall Street bailout. Just to give a scale of the bailout, $700B amounts to $2300 per each man, woman and child in this country. And for Iraq war that takes some $10B per month – this is the cost of nearly SIX years of Iraq war. Oh, I get it now, we are six years into this war already and have to foot the bill.

The Dems control both houses. Why didn’t they pass the bill? Obviously because they are afraid to take the blame. On the next vote, tie up Palosi, at least until the House vote is completed.

Thank you to the Democratic Jackass in Congress, namely the Speaker of the House, who can’t seem to keep from braying when it really counts. Her real concern was protecting her party instead of the interest of the country by trying to make a political speech at the worst time. And they said McCain was acting political last week when he came back to do his job as a US Senator and, partake in the discussions, as hopefully, the next president of the US. I wish the Liberals would crate her up like the sour grapes that she is and send her back to California where they must care what she thinks.
I praise John McCain, that he would rather “lose an election than the economy” when he suspended his campaign to go back to Washington and put the brakes on this bill. It was 3 pages to begin with. At least he was a voice for the House Republicans, and, apparently Mainstreet, who does not want this bill either.

“True Americans and Middle class should never support this bill at all”

WHAT kind of statement is that????

Haaron, I am so sick and tired of any other American who feels that they can in any way question me as an American because of my political convictions or stands. It is simply pathetic and so utterly UN-american. Read your constitution and Bill of Rights dude. Yuk.

And yuk on the McCain spin campaign. No one is injecting politics into this extremely dire moment of American history as Senator McCain. Here is a news flash. We have a President, we have Speakers of both the House and the Senate. It is their jobs to make this happen – and yes, as much as I regret and am utterly angry about the situation we need action. Now. It is not for Senator McCain or Obama to inject their campaigns – to show off as ‘leaders’ right now. We simply have no time for it. The DOW just fell more than ever seen in our entire history. That would be a worse scenario than black monday during the great depression. As of the morning in Europe banks started closing there too. This is as serious as it gets. Americans read your history books – get a grip of the life and very very hard times that a passing generation made it through in the 30’s and 40’s – desperation that set-off World War II. This is ugly, beyond ugly.

How about we rid America of the Party system that way people vote on convictions of what people think are right instead of they should vote because of what party they belong to. As the bill stands I am against it, but I am fed up with how often progress gets caught up in gridlock because of Democrats vs Republicans. The last few years have become rediculous….you can blame the Bush administration all you want…or you can take a serious long look in the mirror and stop playing the blame game. Put country first.

“As to Obama having a solution, well I seriously doubt that. Obamaâ€™s genius is not in originality, but in consensus building. And what America and the world need is genius – originality of thinking, not politicians looking to please people to win votes.”

I have to ask who have you been listening to or reading the last year?
Plenty of original ideas fall out of Obama’s mouth
you need to pay attention
