Presidential politics aside, what do you think of the bailout.

I'm not an economist but from what I've read this seemed to be the an flawed option that was best of some bad choices.  I know there's all kinds of carping on the Daily Kos criticizing the plan an actually supporting the House Republicans for putting the breaks on this thing.

Do you have an opinion?

Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, which would have the same effect. They have managed to accomplish a rather tall order. The leaders of the Democratic party have begun to rival George W on the most despised politician list.

That's quite an accomplishment in under two years, it has taken Bush/Cheney over 7 years to reach the level of hatred that people feel towards them. I wonder how much people will hate Pelosi/Reid/Obama in another 5 1/2 years?

While there is most likely an aversion to Wall Street getting rich from Wall Street, there is a growing populace (of all political stripes) that has no such aversion to themselves gaining wealth from Wall Street.

Or more appropriately put today, over 60% of American are going to be pissed at everybody when the markets tank.

I don't know who they'll vote for but the days of class warfare among those that are equity holders are diminishing.

I think this will hurt McCain, because of his mis-handling of the last week's events.

As far as blame goes, I think that there is plenty to go around.  The repubs are anti-legislation, and the dems had a pretty good hand in pushing mortgages to low income families.

I hate to pop GG's bubble, but we're stuck with Reid as long as there are Mormons.  Now, Pelosi is another matter.  She's proven to be nothing more than a partisan bitch.  The dems should hate her more than anybody, since she consistency makes every issue about politics.
