Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson resorted to literally begging Congressional leaders to approve a $700 billion Wall Street bailout as negotiations over his proposal fell apart Thursday. The New York Times reports Paulson kneeled before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to plea for her support even as he acknowledged that Republican squabbles were torpedoing the bailout's chances.

Thursday, in the Roosevelt Room after the session, the Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., literally bent down on one knee as he pleaded with Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, not to “blow it up” by withdrawing her party’s support for the package over what Ms. Pelosi derided as a Republican betrayal.

2. The current crisis is the result of Conservative policies. It was the Republican party

that has been pushing the policies for the last 25 years.
This is their crisis and THEY have to own it.
We can not allow the republicans to make this a Democratic bailout plan.

IF this is such a huge crisis and immediate action is demanded;
let McSame and the Republican party put forth a plan they want.

The Democratic party can then decide if they want to help pass their bailout plan.
