As soon as the bailout proposal failed in the House, Republican lawmakers began blaming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for its defeat. In a press conference, the GOP leadership faulted Pelosi for giving a “partisan” speech prior to the vote. In the subsequent Democratic press conference, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) responded to their absurd charge: [...]

Before Monday's House vote on the largest government bailout in American history, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.), in potentially one of the most poorly-timed displays of partisanship in recent memory, blamed President Bush and Republicans for the turmoil in the financial services industry (video embedded right). Such ill-advised finger pointing seemed to surprise press members of all shapes and sizes...

The truth hurts. Unfortunately, House Republicans are children who can’t accept that and would rather see the Dow tank 700+ points than face reality.

I recently mentioned Obama's need to play politics on the current financial crisis during the recent debate while McCain remained above it. It makes it fairly clear Obama is not ready to lead America at large. Now comes Pelosi's speech...

Cross posted by Susan from Wake up America By now most know the bailout bill known as Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 failed to pass the House with a vote of 228 NAYS to 205 YEAHS. Reactions are starting to come out with people blaming each other and many blaming Nancy Pelosi for her very divisive [...]

As the no votes piled up in the House of Representatives, it became clear that the bailout bill was goner, and it ultimately fell thirteen votes short of the majority needed to pass: WASHINGTON — In a moment of historic import in the Capitol and on Wall Street, the House of Representatives voted on Monday to [...]

Lord, have mercy. I look at the news in the morning and am shocked & appalled only to receive some fresh, terrifying and historic news when I take a look in the afternoon. (Thanks Eddie Griffin for the info below.) Hmmm…maybe John McCain should re-suspend his campaign since that was so incredibly helpful the last [...]

By Steven T. Jones I'm not putting too much stock in Republicans blaming the failure of the bailout bill on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's floor speech today. "Somebody hurt my feelings; I'm going to punish the country,"...

UPDATE: Video below of Pelosi blame-game speech that sunk the bill. My God, what gall . ***Amazing. The Democrats can't even muster enough of their own to pass this bill, and they have the majority . NRO : Pelosi said she needed political cover. A third of House Republicans ought to be enough cover. How the hell does Pelosi's bill not carry 40 percent of her caucus? UPDATE: Finally, Pelosi torpedoed...

There is nothing much to say about today’s failure in the Democrat Congress to get a bailout package passed It was a bipartisan rejection of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Bush bill - bottom line. And I doubt the hyper-partisan pre-vote speech by the bitter liberal Democrat Speaker of The House was a rallying cry for support: A reminder to Pelosi: [...]

Putting aside the fact that Barack Obama did absolutely nothing to move today's bailout bill forward (when McCain wanted to drop everything to work on this, all Barack could say was: "but what about my debate?...") ; putting aside that Democrats believe an economic collapse favors them in the upcoming election (why else would they attach riders to Paulson's original proposal designating huge earmarks...

There has never been a Speaker as partisan as this one. Never. She ought to be booted out on her ass faster than you can say be gone. Much faster.

Well, here we go. The House has rejected the bailout bill, by a pretty substantial margin and the stock market is flailing around wildly in response. The Hill reports that the Dow was down 525 points by the time the vote was over and Hot Air reports that there was a bit of a rebound and [...]
