    I'm glad she did what she did.

    House Republicans can't pony up to any responsibility and I don't think it needs to fall on Dems YET again.

    Nancy Pelosi doesn't deserve many of the attacks that are sent her way.

    This time, she does.

    Overall I believe this bailout plan is a bad idea, but we have basically run out of good ideas until somebody puts together we need to get more money into government to pay off the National Debt AND we need to seriously cut spending. We NEED BOTH, both Republican and Democrat ideas, to fix this.

    And they were finally working together. Pelosi, Reid, Bush, Obama, McCain, etc. They were finally working together and working for real compromise, and did it in such a way that, even if we got a bad idea, it at least had oversight so that it might turn good or at least not be too bad.

    And then she went into attack mode. She couldn't let the Bush Administration or the Republicans alone for just a couple of days so that they could keep this thing together and do SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

    She does not deserve any hoorays or accolades this time. She deserves every attack that comes her way on this.

    I am tired of all the finger pointing and blame by both political party's. Nancy Pelosi should not have given political inflammatory statements like she did. It only causes division and more in fighting between party's, end result, the tax payers end up being the losers. Nancy missed a chance on being a hero to the tax payers and her constituents by complimenting both party's on working out a deal to help our economy. This could have help both party's look good helping our economy by working together. She blew it and my view of her is pretty low.

    I don't like the idea americans have to pony up the dollars for all that vacant property and bad loans. Let the fat cats get thinner leave my money alone. The stock market took all of my 401 k money I now have to work until I 'am 85 years old anyway. After we buy up that toxic paper who is going to mow the lawns and keep those houses ready to sell any way? How about another 700 billion where did they get that number out of thin air like the loans they were making? We might just need to start making things over here in this country again. Dollar ain't worth much. Do you speak Chineese?

    I don't think it is quite time to celebrate, especially for a problem like this where there are no easy answers. However, I am amazed she actually found a spine to say no to this. I think maybe if everyone sends their representative a fraction of the money they saved a tax payers, maybe they can make a regular habit of this. Right now, Pelosi and everyone who voted against this bill saved every man, woman and child in the US ~$2,300 in taxes.

    Personally I could careless about Pelosi, I could careless about the republicans. I just want someone to stand up and come to the table with an agreement that will do more than just pad pockets and stem corruption. I want someone to pay for this with more than just fines or oversights. But the people to blame, which I think is EVERYONE, will not get the punishment we have due. All those people who bought big screens, took out loans. bought houses and cars they couldnt afford, and all those banks who allowed this, and all those representatives who let it happen should all be punished for this. We caused it so I could careless about her speech or the republicans. We are all to blame.

    Nancy Pelois ain't done dick, 90 democrats and 70 republicans says she don't have the foggiest idea as to what she's doing.

    All she knows to do is blame her short comings on someone else.

    hopefully you'll be open-minded enough to see the truth

    democrat politicians are totally responsible for this mess

    so much for the wall street greed theory

    I agree with her it took a woman to have enough balls to speak up for us tax payers and she is totally correct. This bailout is BS, I do however agree that something has to be done to fix it but not by the Republicans as they are the ones whom got us into this financial disaster to begin with.
