Haven't we heard his warning of an imminent event occuring before?

Bailout the people for a change and not the financial institutions.

4 MORE MONTHS..4 MORE MONTHS!!!

BUSH need to fade quietly into the night..

Weapons of Mass Destruction...act now!!!..yeah right lol

Once in a life time crisis and they want to give these same jokers that created this mess $700 billion. Boy know that makes sense! I say get the people who are facing foreclosure and negotiate a payment that they can afford, a little is better than none then write down their loans, most were predator loans anyway, and they should take what they can get.

Once in a century? 1930's was only 78 years ago Bush its now twice in the same century you Republicans have screwed up the US economy and by the same means deregulation, and same crapola talking points of trickle down economics.

I honestly don't know why we would allow Bush or anyone else who was closely involved with the mess we have now, to be anywhere near that 700 Billion dollars. I saw that the FBI are now investigating the whole situation and that some people will be going to prison, including people from Washington.

DUH

The Great Decider to Talk, gee I know I'll be listening to something else.

So reassuring. Now all of a sudden we can trust what Bush says?

at this point, its safer to ignore dubya then to pay any attention to him

Hope he is thru quick. I do not want to miss CSI NY.

Unfortunately, we find it difficult now to trust anything this man has to say. He cried "wolf" too many times and consequently, no one believes him. What he says may be true and very important for all of us to believe and understand. But this is what happens when you lie to the people over and over and over again. This has indeed been a very difficult 8 years. Can't wait for January 20, 2009!!!

Get ready for the B.S. from this stuttering fool. Did he get advice from his buddy Bono ?

This is the problem when you have a president who has cried wolf one time too many. You lose all credibility and you lose you're ability to rally the country when you might really need to.

I think this might just be a time when he really needs to, but his ability to do so is extremely limited.

The problem I have with this bailout is what Bernanke and Paulson are NOT telling us. And that is on purpose. They wont tell us who gets the money and how much . They dont seem interested in helping the homeowner, just the banks who had their party and now cry the blues . They simply say that they misbehaved and its so dire we have to help them or the whole thing will crack up. There is no mention of crimminal charges against these clowns at all. It really does appear that Paulson and Bernanke fear that if these idiots arent bailed out, and they have royal authority to control it, the public outrage will get so bad the FBI SEC will have to step in and start arresting people. I believe Paulson and Bernanke want to cover up dozens of terrible secrets for friends on wall st and abroad.

Is the fundamentals of our economy not learning?

You can always tell when a Bush is lying, there mouth is moving. And I mean all of them Bush 41, Lil Bush and Jeb. No one knows better than the Republicans that supported these people and were stabbed in the back. Better to have socialism for the workers than socialism for the rich.

Ex Republican

Hope he explains how the Secy. of the Treasury will value those WMD intelligence reports. We are buying bad paper, right?

I hope he has better luck than when he was in the oil business in Texas.

McSame should deliver the speech. Same policies!
