It is definitely interesting events going on in DC these days. I can understand why conservatives opposed the bailout bill because Nancy Pelosi poisoned the mood with a partisan speech before the vote. There are lots of other reasons to oppose this particular bill. But Democrats have enough votes by themselves to pass this if they wanted. I wonder why there is reluctance on the part of Democrats to support their leadership? I think they recognize that this is going to be a problem down the road and are looking for cover. THEY CONTROL CONGRESS AND BUSH WILL SIGN IT.

On another note, there is a very interesting video on Youtube about a series of hearings in 2004 where the agency overseeing Fannie and Freddie warned Congress of the looming crisis. I highly recommend this to all that want to blame Bush for ignoring this problem. This was the Bush administration warning Congress and the response. It is very illuminating.
