I was wrong about the original bailout bill

[steve2470]

After doing further reading and listening carefully to the House Democratic press briefing yesterday, I had to admit to myself that Paulson and Bernanke had, 1) unduly rushed me into a decision and 2) not provided the nation or the Congress with more choices than the $700 billion blank check approach, which, thank God, the Congress hammered into something more palatable.

I don't wish to argue with anyone here, which is my usual choice. I simply think it might help heal things a bit here if others could admit the same at least to yourself or at least take a hard look at the House Democratic media briefing:

on edit: I was FOR the original bailout bill that failed. I'm more in favor of something that Representative DeFazio or Rep. Kaptor can hammer out with the Republicans.

1. Good idea for everyone;

to study and recognize who might be helped, and who 'harmed,' and that 'punishing' and helping at the same time is probably difficult to do.
