- The Dems may actually suprise me and not fold on this #bailout garbage. If they hold, they can ride it all the way to November. #
- @betterpoints Will either candidate successfully reframe the #bailout in terms of foreign policy/national security? #
- @AroundHarlem My alternative bailout plan: restitution for slavery. Just a thought… https://twitter.com/superspade/statuses/934763576 ♠ #
- The Fortune with Paulson on the cover has a piece by Geoff Colvin http://is.gd/2LeG that resurrects the ‘mental rcession’ meme. Wow. #
- The 29 Sep 2008 Fortune has a Special Advertising Section for Students in Free Enterprise that has a fancy AIG ad touting their “strength”.♠ #
- @karsh WaMu buyout is done http://is.gd/3beF I officially want a new bank. Maybe we should all go the Credit Union route. #
- @antibullshit Sadly, some (especially Black folks) are so afraid of critiquing Obama that nuances of his policies (not rhetoric) get ignored #
- @nezua c-span.org? #
- non-TV people can watch the debate online courtesy of @theyoungturks http://www.theyoungturks.com. #
- @ruby I got that text just now. What’s with the CNN endorsement? #
- Wow. WaMu CEO, on the job a mere 17 days before the bank failed, got $20M golden parachute. http://is.gd/3b4g (yes, that is a FOX News link) #
- Customers thought putting $ under the bed was safer than in a WaMu account. People withdrew $16.7B since 17 Sep, speeding up the meltdown. #
- @barackobama just sent me a new text message saying that I could watch the debate on whatever channel I want. I feel so liberated. #
- Why is no one in the #bailout debate talking about regulating ratings agencies that blessed those worthless mortgage-backed securities? #
