Yep one of Obama's big contributors Goldman is going to hurting if this bailout doesn't go through.

Ya, we will see once he reads it. What does he mean by "not perfect" what does he not like about it. I trust him more than anyone working on this thing.

He lost my vote. 1st FISA betrayal, and now bailouts for billionaires, from their millionaire buddies in congress; On the back of the American taxpayer... When IS enough ENOUGH. Ist they give into the wars, then they vote to destroy our constitution and personal privacy, and NOW they want us to be subjected to a financial patriot act, that puts all the risk on US, and gives their criminal cronies OUR money to be able to continue steal even more money from us and give to the international bankers and countries like China, England, and of all places Russia. Why are we stealing money and savings from US citizens and giving it to FOREIGN BANKS!!! How does that help OUR economy!?! I think between the wars and the recession that we are already in since the fourth quarter of last year; I don't think we need to bleed the American taxpayer and give away OUR hard earned money to subsidize FOREIGN BANKERS! On top of Wall St. America... WHEN is enough ENOUGH!!! Contact your members of congress and get them to KILL this bill a 2nd time!!! Don't let the Senate or the President, bully the House Republicans to capitulate to the House Democrats and Pelosi and bail out the billionaires, on the backs and personal accounts of YOU and ME, and our children.

I do wish that Washington, on both sides of the isle, would invite some real economic experts into the process so a deal can be worked out that is the best for the economy and the country with the 'politics' portion removed. I do not favor a bailout, as I believe that would punish those who have been responsible with their money, while rewarding the one who were irresponsible.

Well at least he is being honest saying its not perfect he doesnt like it HONESTY where mccain just wants it passed he doesnt care Mccains looking out for his lobbysit friends

Does he think he's in England? Who has a pint?

"Let me call my campaign staff and see if I can have a pint with you."

Once again Obama shows how out of touch he is with real America. No American talks about having a "pint". Does Obama want a bag of "crisps" with that?

By "campaign staff" he probably means he has to go ask Michelle.

This bill IS A SHAM! Oppose it at all costs!

It is a giant land grab by several institutions, especially Goldman Sachs! Just as NJ's governor, who is a former Goldman CEO, the Treasury head is former Goldman. Guess who is the main benefactor of this deal... you got it. Goldman! NJ's governor, Jon Corzine, and the NJ government over the past several years have directly benefitted Goldman Sachs. It's a running joke in NJ that Goldman seems to be the ONLY lending institution in the country. FORMER GOLDMAN PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF GOLDMAN... PERIOD!

Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is 100% correct on this problem. If the problem is bad mortgage debt, then the problem should be solved from the BOTTOM UP! Just like how Obama wants to correct the economy and help the middle-class by starting from the BOTTOM UP! If Goldman wasn't getting any money from this deal, I might think that it has a bit of legitimacy to it. But Goldman seems to be the main beneficiary of this plan.

Floating money from the TOP DOWN WILL NOT correct this problem - THE BAD MORTGAGES WILL STILL EXIST! Fix the bad mortgages - Stop the foreclosures - Save the people's homes. If the big institutions are complaining about the bad mortgages, How can they complain if the bad mortgages are addressed? DO NOT GIVE THEM THE MONEY DIRECTLY!

THIS IS A LAND GRAB AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

GOD is NOT on the REPUBLICAN SIDE.

ENOUGH of REPUBLICAN LIES and BLAMING GAME.

ENOUGH of REPUBLICAN DISASTERS. 8 years is more than enough.

ENOUGH of BULLIES in the WHITE HOUSE.

DEMOCRATS for 09'

It appears that it is _you_ who are out of touch.. come on down to our local pub and you can see some real American workers putting down a few pints. Sorry we don't fit your world view..

If the bill fails tomorrow in the House, the market may drop 1000 points. The bill must pass because there are too many people who will panic if it doesn't.

Credit lines are already drying up; there is no choice now. What a bunch of morons to let it come to this.

Does he want aragula with his "pint"? Seems to me when McCain said it wasn't perfect, that he didn't want to do it, but needed to, the Obots had a screamin mimi...

I don't agree with Senator Obama's assessment either. I think these companies need to crumble. Can America afford to keep dumping money into these decripit institutions? But he's still getting my vote. Better him than McCain/Palin.

Please join facebook's 700,000,000,000 strong against the 700 billion bailout.

Also contact your representative and express you are against this.

I am expressing I'm unhappy with the idea of a bailout. I feel if passed Americans will pay yet again for others greed and poor choices. I vote no.

arugula...sorry (just in case the grammar police are around)

John McCain warned about corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2005. He even introduced a bill to address the problems. The Democrats (Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, etc.) insisted there were no problems at these institutions. Now it’s clear that McCain was right, but somehow McCain and the Republicans are to blame for this mess? Are you Obamabots crazy? The mortgage crisis is at the heart of this financial meltdown, and it is the Democratic Party who supported ACORN in its quest to make sure low-income people got homes, whether they could afford them or not. You know ACORN – the group that registers their pets and dead people to vote Democratic? As a Democrat, even I can see the Republicans are getting the bum rap for this. The Bush administration has been a disaster, and the Republicans are far from pure, but it’s clear to me that the Democratic elite (not ordinary Democrats) are at the heart of this particular financial problem. The Democrats want to strengthen their numbers in the minority community, and Republicans were hamstrung in their efforts to address these issues because they did not want to be called racists. Now we see what happens when low-income people buy houses they can’t afford – the rest of us wind up footing the bill. This fed-up Democrat has seen the light.

Uh...they have pints at Oktoberfest in LaCrosse, WI. Obviously you've never been or you'd know that.

Not that you would ever go...they have beer that isn't from a can and that is way above your level of patriotism.

The Repugs railing against the bailout are just stupid.

Our house is on fire.

Instead of doing everything to put the fire out, you want to chase those who set the fire.

By the time you catch them the house would have burned to ground you morons.

If we have to catch and jail those who set the fire like you neocons say, we should:

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY.

geevill and kitty,

don't know bout you but here in small town PA.,the origin of Octoberfest, IT ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE CALLED A "PINT"
