I Give the Democrats High Marks on Their Handling the Bail Out. I Didn't Expect Them to Do So Well.

I am very pleased.

It is not "the Democrats' bill". Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have handled this pretty well. The Senate went well, now on to the House.

I'm giving our team high marks so far. Bush and the GOP look bad.

3. $700 B Given To Wealthy Bankers Via A Plan That's Never Been Tried
Or we could have done what Sweden did when they had the same problem - it worked great, and ended up not costing the taxpayers anything. Oh, but it sucked for the bankers.

8. The Senate made almost no changes. Hopefully, the House will kill it again.
Contrary to your view of things, the way our Dems are handling this sickens me.
