1. I have yet to hear anyone who really understands this.

I am going to trust Barak Obama on this one.

[NeedleCast]

2. Me too

with the understanding that my trust is not blind. I trust Obama, because he's right about this.

[gordianot]

3. The closest consensus I hear this is a huge gamble and there is not a good solution.

My retirement is hurting (I am retired) something needs to be done quickly. I tend to vote my own self interest.

14. Can't be understood intentionally

They are hiding the fact Wall St skimmed $millions off these bundled mortgages before they turned them to worthless paper

5. I trust Kucinich, and Kucinich's version of events differs from Obama's....

That troubles the hell out of me. Everything I've learned during the last several days supports what Kucinich is saying. Plus, Kucinich has been right about virtually every issue of importance to me.

Obama and Kucinich are on opposite sides of this issue. I don't trust Obama.

16. I think we are damned if we do and damned if we don't

Dennis Kucinich is against it.

4. whats the correct answer?

[dkofos]

6. When did the house pass the bill??

And what did they pass??

[Eric J in MN]

8. The House didn't pass the bailout.

The Senate is attaching the bailout to a tax bill which the House passed.

[dkofos]

10. Fearless leader reid strikes again.

Will it have to go back to house again??

[Eric J in MN]

12. Yes, for a bill to become a law, both houses need to vote for identical language. NT

19. Thanks for explaining this

I too, missed how this was being initiated in the Senate.

So in other words we are getting this crammed down our throats one way or the other.

9. They didn't pass a bailout bill. It failed. n/t

[mike_c]

11. they will most likely pass it on Thursday....

Watch the Senate today. They will probably pass a slightly amended version. The House will do so Thursday. Bush will sign it as his first order of business on Friday, at which time we all become debtors to Wall Street bankers.

I hope like hell that I'm wrong.

[dkofos]

13. I hope so too.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. It is a massive fraud

and we are being held up by the same lunatics who brought us the OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. The same CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY who do not give one damn about you or me.
Trust them then... Hell no.
Trust them now? WTF? Why should I?

15. No Banker Left Behind...Bush/Cheney Mushroom Cloud

Listen to Marcy Kaptur... she is one of the few who is exposing these criminals.

17. ok guys those who are against this bailout please call your

Senators this is being thrusted down their throats and ours.

18. Isn't it hard to believe

that at the time of the OP, the results were Yes-27%, No-50%, Don't Know-23% with 167,328 votes. Now two hours later the percentages are still the same, but with 231,058 votes. It just seems strange to me that the percentages would hold for so long. But then, I have a hard time believing anything I see at CNN.....
