Boehner was just on Fox and said passage of the bailout bill is in serious doubt.
Pelosi is on the floor of the House asking for bipartisanship so the markets will have confidence but then proceeded to incorrectly lay this at the feet of Democrats, despite the fact that the historical record shows that Democrats blocked reform over a dozen times.
If our Republicans don't stand up and correctly identify the problem - Democrats forcing banks under penalty of law to make loans to people the banks knew couldn't afford them - then I really don't see how we can fix the problem.
Democrats have the majority and the votes to pass the bill without Republican support. Let's see if they have the courage of their convictions to pass this legislation.
