Obama: Bailout can be tweaked later

Am glad to see this as am so upset with the
republicans putting their earmarks and desires
into a bill that should have none and one that
is so critical to the survival of our country.
Don't they realize we are not stupid and see
their political games?
It has not been country first for any republican
for the last eight years, so guess we shouldn't
expect it now.

I listened to hObama's speech this morning and again on the senate floor this afternoon. This man understands what needs to be done. He knows that this will not resolve the problem. This is a tempory fix to a major problem. There is much more that needs to be done and will be done when he is president.

Just remember every vote counts. This may be the most important election of your life time.

VOTE Nov 4th. Vote: Obama/Biden 08!!

Is it just me, or does it look like this new bill is pandering to the House Republicans? I'm starting to think that the Democrats haven't done enough to support the taxpayers with this bill. I think, for instance, that they should define more homeowner's protections, which they have faltered on.

Yes, let's put new blood in our politics. We need new people with 21st century new ideas, we need Barack Obama.

I like the idea of a Financial Stability Fee, payable by the folks who got bailed out due to their greedy and/or inept ways. Now if we could just figure out a way to tax CEO's golden parachutes more than just the basic income tax...

Who's Rudy Giuliani? I don't think anyone cares what he thinks, says or does. He's a nobody, never was and never will be!

Not for nothing, but "reign in spending" and "rein in spending" are two entirely contrary ideas.

I agree. It is important to get some stability in the country right now. There is too much panic and we need a leader with the sense to put things back on track

It's nice to know that one of the candidates is able to keep up-to-date with the "rescue fund" as well as doing other things as well. You know, multi-tasking...The thing that McFossil is unable to do. In fact, the only thing McFossil can do well is panic.

We are a nation who are finding it very hard to rationalize such a huge bailout. I guess that is why I am not running for president. Still, I wish that there was a way to just make Barak Obama president right now.

Well there is always early voting.

I have a pretty good feeling some jerks from the south and the midwest are going to put palin in the White House. hey for all we know, they gave Bush two terms. We have to realize that most Americans dont pay attention to what is going on in the world. But the world know every details of our lives. What do we do? We vote for someone who spent more than 5 years in college and have no idea if the world is round or flat.

Dear D. Gregory, Why would u have one of the most corrupt congressman giving you advice about this election in TOM DELAY? Just to keep things balanced, you throw him up there, knowing full well his history. Even republicans know how corrupt he is?

He makes your show completely unbelievable! When did just putting someone on a show make it more balanced? You need to have people with credibility on your show...that's the difference with Olbermann. He is popular because he puts people on his show who have not sold their souls to the devil or to big money.

Seriously...and you don't even refute his lying propaganda? Is that really credible journalism these days? Even Katie Couric has folllup questions...

Dude, really. Please do your job.

If Obama looks any more presidential we're not going to be able to wait until January 20, 2009 for him to take over. Honestly, with McCain getting snippy with Iowa media-----a state he has no chance in which goes back to the judgment thing, and Pailin filabustering Cattie Currick questions on what she reads Obama is practically running things now. I wish the election was today.

What have the Democrats accomplished these last two years? Oh, that's right nothing! And this is coming from a Democrat.

Why not "tweak" it now? This is a lot of money at stake here.

Didn't McCain run around a few weeks ago blaming greed? How is it less "simplistic" with a different messenger?

Does anyone, other than Ron Paul, have any idea what they are doing?

Deregulate, see trouble , then Regulate. Authorize unwaranted war , see failure and then carry out a surge. This are clear instances of bad judgement, lack of foresight. The question is? Who will trust to lead the country with good judgement.

So what Obama is saying to his caucus even though you may not agree with this package pass it now and when he gets into office, as it looks like he will, then he will change it with the Democratic majority to benefit the taxpayer. Now that is leadership!

McCain and the Republicans always put the country club first. We all know it.

Pass the bill. Fix it later.
