Pelosi: The Legislation Has Failed But the Crisis Has Not Gone Away; We Must Work in a Bipartisan Way to Pass New Legislation Sep 29 07:32 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chairman Barney Frank of the House Financial Services Committee, and House Democratic leaders held a news conference this afternoon following the defeat of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Below are her opening remarks:
"Good afternoon. As you know, about a week and a half ago, the Administration visited Capitol Hill and described the crisis in our financial markets and in our economy. A couple of days later, they presented us with their legislation, and since then we have worked in a bipartisan way to improve that legislation. We've entered into those conversations in the spirit of bipartisanship, with the understanding that each side would have half of our votes to pass the bill.
"Today when the legislation came to the floor, the Democratic side more than lived up to its side of the bargain. While the legislation may have failed, the crisis is still with us.

Gosh, I pray so!
People who are cheering on what this Marxist hag wants have lost their noodles.
“freshmen dimos up for re-election were told to vote against the bailout, and dims were chortling about how they would use republicans votes against them come election day. “
I’m missing this logic.
Americans are opposed to the bailout 9 to 1, republicans voted the way the majority of Americans wanted and the rats will use that against republicans?
Help me out.
Pelosi should go pound sand before being disgraced and thrown out of office. She’s a national disgrace and a pathetic reprehensible moron.
About now, their approval rating should be in the negative column.
Barney should go to jail with his treasonous cohorts—every one of them. The Muslim Messiah needs to have his participation in this fiasco exposed ASAP.
The sad part is they media is trying McCain to this and he was the only one putting in legislation in 2003 to stop it.
Exactly. Wonder when need to flush. LOL
I agree.
McCain needs to run ads with film of him warning about this disaster.
With 95 House Democrats voting against?
The ‘crats were counting on republicans voting yes and using those votes against them.
Kick Barneys ass out, too.
I’m not kicking Barney’s ass, afraid I’d lose a shoe!!

Thanks so much! Exactly the look I had envisioned!
