They should both be urging members of their party to pass it. Just because they are not members of the house does not mean that they cannot help push through decisions.

Although truthfully, they should be urging congress NOT to pass it. The whole idea that throwing money at a problem will solve it is as rediculous as the idea that giving 20 bucks to a homeless man will make him the next Warren Buffet.

Anikdote, the OP you quoted was a question... not an opinion. Participate in the threads original intent.

Why would they take sole ownership of a bailout requested and in large part created by Bush? It's true that Bush let the apple card drive into the ditch so far that they don't have a choice but to pass some sort of bailout bill, but that's still a long way from jumping when the Chimps calls.

These politicians are not fit to run our country. Pelosi blasts the Repubs with a blatantly insulting speech, and then the Dems accuse them of "hurting the country because one person hurt their feelings".

Jesus, this is ridiculous. The partisan politics is just pissing me off.

Pelosi needs to be shot, and the rest of the congress needs to be replaced.

The Jets and the Sharks got along better than these idiots.
