This is the first thing you've said that makes sense. The bailout will pass by the time of the VP debate. I guarantee it.
I concur.

Obama appeals for calm, McCain flails around like a pussy:
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpoi..._mccain_at.php
In Colorado today, Obama called for calm and predicted ultimate success. Here's what he said (before MSNBC cut away)...
"It's important for the American public and the markets to stay calm, because things are never smooth in Congress, and to understand that it will get better...We are going to make sure that an emergency package is put together, because it is required for us to stabilize the markets...
"So I'm confident that we are going to get there, but it's going to be a little rocky. It's sort of like flying into Denver -- you know you're going to land, it's not always fun going over those mountains."
By contrast, the McCain campaign statement hailed McCain's own Herculean efforts on behalf of the bailout and attacked Obama for his failure to rise to McCain's heights of heroism and self-sacrifice:
"From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families.
"Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill.
"Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome.
"This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country."
Not even close to the realm of reality. Overwhelming majority of Dems voted for it. It was the House GOP that killed it. Have they no shame?"This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country."
DR, Please do the math in that stupid chain letter. Please.
It doesn't take an economist to know that if the biggest banks collapse and goverment does nothing about it, we are in for a depression.
I think the bailout could have been better crafted but like most economist said, "there is no time"
I also beleive it will pass thursday and until thursday, the stock markets are ed
Oooo, nice spin.
They should reschedule a vote tonight. them for waiting until Thursday.
So can we get a vbookie on which investors will be jumping out of windows, and which ones it will be?
Boy it takes balls to make that statement...the only people I see flailing around like pussies are the ones upset the bailout didn't go through today.
I know I've been flailing around like a pussy all day while rocks of Gibralter like you smeagol, Manny and Random Guy have been pervasive calming influences.
Again, there was a party and we all took advantage of it. Now the party is over a the bill needs to get paid.
It is that simple.
Obama's not making posts on Spurstalk. Shame on us for being concerned about the economy cratering.Boy it takes balls to make that statement...the only people I see flailing around like pussies are the ones upset the bailout didn't go through today.

I simply think the bailout will help us all get out of this mess. A mess we are all responsible for.Boy it takes balls to make that statement...the only people I see flailing around like pussies are the ones upset the bailout didn't go through today.

Care to tell me what is so bad about the bailout?
I want to applaud you on your calmness
Hopefully Whottt and others are right. I agree that the system is entirely ed but I think this will hurt a lot more than people realize.
We'll see.
What's shameful is you trying to characterize the Democrats as the calming influence..
Go your self... .
don't all economist post on spurtalk right after a drop of over 700 points in the DOW
completely wrong. Nobody told the average american that it was a bad, bad idea to take these loans. The goverment should have warned average Joe, that is their job, to protect the ppl. So 'we all took advantage' is way off. More like, the banks took advantage of average Joe.
Now, the bill is being put on the average american while the banks and rich corporate make money regardless. So 'the bill needs to get paid' is off too. More like, the bill that the banks should be paying is being paid by average Joe.

I think they should relax. Maybe get some popcorn and watch a movie.
85,000/200= 425, not 425,000.
FAIL.
The author should get back to making sure the fries don't burn. ... and make sure mine have a little salt please.
Tonight and tomorrow are religious holidays.
Not worth talking about if the math is right. It's a stupid idea even if it was right.
A little economic collapse never killed anyone.
Yeah, it's the Democrats who got their feelings hurt by a ing speech and based their vote on that.
