Bloomberg television states Bush to address the public later this morning.
Bloomberg states: “Bush to assure the American Public he’s going to do all he can.”
10:25am EDT
McCain needs to detail the Obama Acorn connections and their role in this mess and name names like Barney Frank.
Then make the flat statement in the debate that this mess is THE DEMOCRATS OCTOBER SURPRISE that has been pulled at the public’s expense.
Look, their opinion is as good as anyone’s, likely better. I’m not being flippant. It seems different experts still have different opinions on some of this.
I do think this market is going to turn around, liquidity will return. Fortunes will be made. Some will be lost too.
I know a lot of folks have deemed the $700 billion to be a wasted effort, too close to socialism for their pallet.
Right now we’ve got the E-Ticket ride, and it’s too late to jump out of the roller-coaster.
When it stops, we can wink at each other and know we made it through. I hope. ;-)
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
After a few seconds of really dedicated concentration, I have come to the realization the 401(Keg) plan is one I can wrap myself around. ;-)
It is not “like socialism,” it is socialism.
I hear ya. At times I have to admit that it seems as if our side almost thinks that way too. Some of the public statements have been dumbfounding IMO.
Get real.
They’re gonna “do something” until there’s nothing else they can do.
Again...
It’s a little too late to do the right thing now.
Cut it out!
Quit blaming Bush, solely.
Clinton planted the seeds.
And this bitter harvest is being reaped under a Democrat Congress!

McCain would be wise to go after Bush in the next debate.
As soon as Obama says anything bad about Bush, McCain should go a step further and criticize Bush.
Yes, I believe timing was important, but beyond that, there’s another factor that some folks aren’t going to like. I still think it is a valid factor to mention.
The $700 billion bailout was intended to build confidence. When a significant portion of the public refused to accept the plan, the purpose was defeated long before the bill was passed.
I am very leery of bad-mouthing just about anything that is going to be tried right now. We can’t stop those plans. We’re on the ride. We really do need to quit acting like experts and cheer for any plan that is implemented at this point.
We can’t win the game if we’re going to splinter into three hundred million experts that all know better than our leaders.
We are not going to agree with everything. That’s a given.
Right now, we better hope what they are doing works, even if it is wrong. And we better cheer-lead from the sidelines even so. We must be unified in this.
Personally, I think every single person in the nation should sink their funds in this market today. If we don’t do so soon, there’s not going to be many pieces left to pick up.
Right now this is 99.99% a matter of confidence IMO.
I'm sick of politicians. And bankers. And lawyers. I'm especially sick of all three, rolled into one. A pox on the lot of them.
I won’t trash just about any theory right now. I’m not convinced I know all the dynamics of what is taking place, so it would be pointless to act as if I do.
I’ll look okay if it’s a darker gray. ;-)
I am not a fan of the One World Order. Yes, I do believe there are powers at work that we are not privy to.
I think there may be new life in that song... now.
I'm going to withhold judgment on this until I see the list of pardons. If the two Border Patrol Agents aren't on the list, I'll agree with you.
Just about anything is possible right now. I’m kindof along for the ride. I would like to see some sign of confidence somewhere.
Bush is a Socialist lackey buffon.
He is a worthless piece of socialist garbage.
He has violated his oath of office to protect the Constitution and should be impeached, tried and hung, along with Paulson and members of congress.
What’s all this about the President and Paraguay?
When, for a short time, it looked like Congress wasn't going to pass the Bailout Bill, the public freaked.
So, they passed the damn thing. Now, let's quit bitchin’ about it.
I agree. I’m not convinced a no hands approach would have been advisable here though. This is one of those times when folks would damn our leaders no matter what they did.
If no action had been taken, heads would have rolled when this thing became full blown. Imagine no action and a full blown depression.
A lot of us would have been looking for new rope and a low branch.
