All aboard the failboat! Now watch the stocks tumble in real time!
Democratic party controlled congress fails to pass bailout bill!
I repeat, Democratic party controlled congress fails to pass bailout bill.
Instead what does NBC report? “GOP votes bailout bill down.†Take a look it’s right there in the lower caption of this video. 94 Democrats voted against this bill. 66 Republican voted for this bill.
Again we see the Democrat/Obama slanted news media at work.
“I repeat, Democratic party controlled congress fails to pass bailout bill.”
Nice try Mr. Deceiver, there were far more Repubs that voted against the bill than Dems.
Since 1983 the government has “BARROWED” over a trillion dollars from Social Security. They haven’t paid back a penny, let alone the interest. The $700 billion that they are “barrowing” from the taxpayers will end the same way. Before it’s over it will come to $5 trillion that they soak you for.
Congress takes a day off for a Jewish holiday, instead of working on a plan? Is this the Congress of Israel?
NANCY PELOSI is and IDIOT! I am sick of seeing and listening to this MORON!
Now, on more important note:
This is not about republicans or democrats and who is at fault more or less.
IT IS ABOUT AMERICA and AMERICANS and our GREAT NATION SURVIVING!
Get on board or GTF outta the way!
There are OBVIOUSLY, IDIOTS in Congress that are both DEMOCRATIC as well as REPUBLICANS!
The people on Mainstreet are collectively worth more and are more capable then all of these IDIOTS in Washington DC!
Good news!
Those who make bad financial decisions must bear the consequences of their actions.
Both parties are to blame for this mess. People who could not afford homes in the first place should have never been allowed to go into debt relying upon someone else to bail them out.
The more government injects itself into problems the worse they become.
Keep your hands off this mess and let the market clear itself or inflation will take off like a gazelle. Then American’s savings, retirements and assets will be made worth less, if not worthless.
Pelosi, Reid, Frank and Paulsen are poster children for DC’s failed policies and arrogance. They could care less about the American taxpayer as they are focused only on filling their pockets and those of their friends.
This is just the beginning of the Great Financial Storm. The government is effectively broke with $ 60 – 90 trillion in UNDFUNDED LIABILITIES!
Only an idiot would hold all their assets in a currency that no doubt will collapse in time. Remember folks, the politicians did this over decades and it may never be resolved.
Once a nation’s government destroys its currency, there is no point in supporting that government for nearly everything its citizens have worked for all their lives are turned into dust.
Hey, Gus, MORE Republican voted against this bill than voted for it (138 No, 65 yes). THAT is why it failed. The Democrats ARE guilty of not having enough south of their belt buckle to pass it anyway. They didn’t want to get “stuck” with the responsibility of the consequences if this bail out went sour. This is why it failed.
In the final analysis, one party is predominantly stupid and the other one is gutless. What a sad testimonial to the nation.
Finally, Pelosi has got to be one of the stupidest members of Congress. If you are trying to win bipartisan support on a critical bill why would you preface the vote with a partisan attack on the other party? What a dope!
Dennis Kucinich voted against the bailout.
Notwithstanding the Democratic majority in the house overall the best description would be to say that the house failed to pass the bailout bill. My initial comments was intended to provide a contrast in irony to the blatant bias of the metrosexual liberal news media.
Airwick,
Obviously you don’t understand what my intention was. My point wasn’t to conclude that the Democrats voted this down. It was to point out the stupidity of MSNBC saying that the GOP voted it down. It’s not supposed to make any sense to say “the Democrats voted the bailout bill down.â€
First congress submits a vote of no confidence to Pelosi for bashing Bush for this democratic-created fiasco. Then the markets submit their vote of no confidence to Pelosi for her failures..
If the President assumes ultimate responsibility for what happens in the economy under his watch, then the Speaker of the House must assume responsibility for what happens in the congress under her watch.
The news media came on this morning and said that the Democrats had enough votes – and seeing that they control both houses – it would seem to be true, NOT! The Dem’s didn’t need republican votes to pass this – so THEY> THE DEM”S BLEW IT! Frankly I’m glad.
why the hell should the american people clan the slate of bad investments so they can start all over again!
We’re not idiots – let the chips fall where they may!
Too Funny, The neoCONs have been all for deregulation until now. Now all of a sudden they want regulation. For eight years they haven’t said a word about Shrub and the Republicans doubling the national debt from $5 trillion to $10 trillion. But now that the rich puke thieves are headed to the poor house, they want to blame the Dems for their own stupid failed ideology. Welcome to the poor house morons.
“LEADER” Nancy Pelosi is a flippin’ moron and should STEP DOWN NOW!!! This arrogant, partisan, stupid, stupid, woman is why Congress’s poll numbers are in the toilet! She is part of the problem in DC and and is not smart enough to know her ignorant remarks makes America hate her more every day! Pelosi and Reid need to GO, and the sooner the better. The Democrats need some INTELLIGENCE among their leaders and I can’t believe they would keep these two dingbats at the helm when their ship is sinking. The Dems have more than enough votes to pass this bill so let them do it. They can either sink or swim. And I hope every one of the rats drown.
The Democrats want 100 Republican votes before passing this legislation and balk when they “only” get 90? What a bunch of spineless idiots! You eunuchs deserve Pelosi as House leader. How can such a divisive shrill hope to champion “bipartisan” legislation?
The other side (Republican) is no better. Here is a wonderful piece of logic from Ted Poe, R- Texas. “If a mom and pop makes a bad financial decision, they go out of business.” HEY, TED, THIS ISN’T “MOM AND POP”. THIS IS WALL STREET! IF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FAIL THEN THE ECONOMY TANKS, BUSINESSES GO UNDER, PEOPLE GET LAYED OFF, AND WE FACE A GLOBAL DEPRESSION. Is this a great bill? NO! But it is the best option available. Lose your partisan ideology and do what is right for the nation…for once in your miserable existence.
Vote to force this woman to resign!!!

The present economic mess affects us all in a very immediate way and the American public has a right to know how we got to this point.
I urge you to watch the you tube video listed below with an open mind, as an independent thinker. If you feel it has value, please pass it along.
Those posting here blaming Republicans are full of it. Nancy Pelosi locked the Republicans out and gave a 5 minute speech BEFORE the bailout bill was to be voted on. The Republicans heard about this and were pissed and voted against it. Pelosi was spewing all kinds of nonsense and the people are suffering for it. Check out this link that os from 2004 where the Republicans were pointing out the Fannie/Freddie problems and the democrats were defending the illegal activities at Fannie/Freddie… http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=184743
Pelosi needs to take a few classes on how to make friends and influency enemies. Nancy is pryomanic because she burning the whole country down.
Interesting, Michael Moore was raving against the bailout.
Now the McCain camp is saying it failed to pass because of Barack Obama wanting to “phone it in.” Tactical error on McCain’s part since the American people won’t see that way.
Nancy Pelosi is a b-i-t-c-h!
Harry “I don’t know what to do†Reid is a b-i-t-c-h!
Barney Frank is a b-i-t-c-h!
Chuckie Schumer is a b-i-t-c-h!
Chris Dodd is a b-i-t-c-h!
And OBAMA IS THE WORST b-i-t-c-h! of all!
Take all these communists and put them in a plane, fly them over North Korea and push them out of the plane … with broken parachutes!
I’m sick to death of these foul communists destroying my country. Wall Street doesn’t need a bailout of tax money, we need to bail out on the stinking leftists in government!
… if only ted kennedy or robert byrd were alive .
Here are the criminals, in the order that they should be investigated and fired. These are the Fannie Five:
Here are the top 5 recipients of contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from 1989-2008:
1. Chris Dodd (D-CT)
2. Barack Obama (D-IL)
3. John Kerry (D-MA)
4. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
5. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Lets start the inquisition.
DJI is down 777.68 and descending.
Doesn’t look good.
How’s George W. Bush doing on the economy now conservative tools? Opps guess the tax cuts didn’t do jack.
Big government conservatism cut tax and spend doesn’t work. If you cut taxes you have to cut spending. Bush didn’t veto any spending bills none (farm bill doesn’t count). Face it republicans have no morals and no principals. Get ready for the Obama landslide. Now with deficits over $1,000 billion for this year alone. Guess tax and spend liberals can’t be a talking point since your man George W. Bush out spent LBJ.
hahaaaaaaaaaaaa thank GOD for those republicans against this bailout!!!!
Greatidea@ 4:12PM
The Obama camp called Warner Brothers and threatened them to complain about the music in the video you are trying to lead us to, so Youtube was forced legally to take the video down.
NeoCONs are all P.O.d at Nancy because she wouldn’t let them sucker the Dems into taking the blame for a bailout that is doomed to failure. And America knows that the neoCONs are responsible for this mess. The “DECIDER” has been running this pony show for eight years, and Pelosi is going to make sure the egg sticks right on Shrubs face. The CONs are just making it worse for themselves in November. It’s not just the economy going down in flames, the GOP is toast too.
Maybe the congress can investigate itself why no saw this coming. If only the Administration should have seen this why do we have a congress at all?
There were plenty of people who SAW THIS COMING!!!!!! Stop off at a bookstore and review Peter Schiff’s “Crash Proof” How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse. Written in 2006, it is so eerily detailed that it sets forth the scenario actually happening now as if he had a crystal ball! Forget the lying government and congress (dems and republicans) start trying to figure out how you and your family are going to make it through this. The media and the government are wasting your time. Humpty Dumpty is broken.
Next time you hear Obama preach that the financial fiasco was caused by the failure of the Bush administration and the republicans to regulate Fannie May and Freddie Mac, remember the truth always manages a way of sneaking out into the light of day! Despicable behavior at best criminal behavior at worse…you decide!
Yes, we are facing a problem, but thank God in this country we still have real leaders who can put their heads together and lead us out of this mess: President George W. Bush and Governor Sarah Palin from the Great State of Alaska and Our Next President.
You haven’t heard from them because they are working in secret to devise a plan that will save us all.
This isn’t going to get any better with this bill. People are spending a fortune just for gas to get to work. How on earth can they meet their mortgage payments. Fuel oil is $2.00/gallon more than last year right now! Just wait till the cold weather sets in. Pelosi’s refusal to let the “All of the above bill” come to a vote is a huge part of the problem. Abolish fannie mae and Freddie mac now! It’s wrong for the taxpayer to have to bail out these banks giving out shady loans!
Why isn’t my comment being posted? There isn’t a single swear word in it. It isn’t even offensive!
Lets try this variation .. cold weather is coming and I’m pricing fuel oil. Right now it’s two dollars a gallon more than it was last November. Increased gasoline prices, fuel oil prices, and the increased cost of goods since the minimum wage increase are cutting into the family budgets. No wonder some can’t make their house payments. Pelosi wouldn’t let the all or nothing energy bill get a vote. Instead she went on vacation! They want to fix the problem? Well fix what cause the stinking problem!
