They just got out of the meeting with the White House, Congressional leadership of both parties and both houses, plus honored guests Obama and McCain.

Looks like everyone is on board with the comprimise worked out so far, except for some Senate Reeps and most of the House Reeps. Ha ha! This is a Republican President pushing the idea that this is a crisis and proposing the initial plan, Democrats understanding how urgent it is and working bipartisanly to back a plan, McCain wanting to suspend the campaign because of the urgency of getting a plan approved --- and it's the Republicans in congress refusing to commit to cleaning up this mess!

Hahahahhaha! Why does it always look like it is Democrats who have to clean up Republican messes? Hahahahahaha! Can't Republicans ever step up?

Personally, I am pissed livid about this crisis and the need to commit so much to fixing it, expecially since we've been told for so long that the economy is so "fundamentally strong" by the same Republican adminstration who is now acknowledging a serious economic crisis. However, I think this is a REAL crisis, and we will need congress to put up the money to stabilize it. I knew Bush and McCain were lying all along with their happy talk about the healthy economy, and I definitely believe them now that they claim we are in crisis. We've been in a growing crisis for a long time, and it has just finally come to enough of a head that they have to acknowledge it. I am not surprised by this at all, just pissed.

What do you think is the deal with these Reeps not supporting the deal? Is it that they have been lied to so many times by Bush they don't believe this thing is real? Understandable --- it's hard to believe when you've been burned so many times. Or do you think they really do believe it is a crisis, but they don't want to do anything about it? Sounds pretty typical. I guess it could be either one.

Maybe McCain can actually do some good in Washington --- it's not up to him to shape the plan, but maybe he can get his dumbass party members to take this crap seriously!!!
