Senior Political Analyst = Making politicians give CNN what CNN wants.
The financial markets have sent a clear signal of just how reckless the House of Representatives was today in rejecting the compromise bailout plan — no less than $1.2 trillion in stock values were wiped out in just a few hours.
Big Business lost money !!!!!
What can be done to get a bill through in the next few days? Here are some initial thoughts:
First, a ton of bricks needs to be dumped on the heads of those who voted against —
THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME MONEY !!!! THEY MUST BE HORRIBLY PUNISHED !!!!
Third, the White House and Congressional leaders should count heads to make sure that everyone who voted “yes” today will do so again in a second vote. If the 228-205 margin holds, that means they have to flip at least 12 Members for a second vote. It will be much more difficult to get all of the switches from the Republicans. Solution: put in enough sweeteners so that each side has a bit more and get an agreement between Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner: “I will deliver 6 from my side if you deliver 6 from yours.”
THEY MUST ALL VOTE TO GIVE US MONEY !!! NOTHING ELSE IS ACCEPTABLE !!!
This is big time stuff. Washington isn’t playing with matches here; it is playing with dynamite. For the sake of the country — and for our standing as a world power — we need LEADERSHIP!
I WANT MY MONEY !!!! 23 GRAND FROM EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD FROM AMERICA !!! MY MONEY ! NOT THEIRS ! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE !!!!!!!!!
Umm.. I'm sorry , but this article may be somewhat prejudiced ?
