Obama knew if he did not support it and it did not pass they could completely destroy America's economy before Nov. 4th.

That's what I think. There is so much we don't know and they are not telling us. It must be much worse than we can imagine for a man like Senator Obama to risk alienating his base to vote for this. He is intelligent and I trust it was the lesser of two evils. I bet some of the perpetrators will have hell to pay when he gets in office.

1. I'm weary of deciding between two "evil" things...
I want something that is not evil.

And if we have to go through a depression to be able to get to that point, I'm okay with that.

The lesser of "two evils" in this case simply delays the inevitable larger "evil".

2. The lesser of two evils in this case would to have voted 'No' on this bill also.
The real issues are still not being addressed. All the money thrown at this train wreck has not done anything to help the victims. It has enables the guilty to maintain their salaries and bonuses though and that seems to be the important thing.
