$30 billion plan to by overpriced foreclosures that the gov will probably have to sell at auction in a loss?

What happened to all the economic benifits we were suppose to get from Bush's tax cuts for the rich? This is what should be front and center in the news, since McCain wants to continue these policys if he is elected. We tried this republican experiment, and it has been a dismal failure.

Yes, but I'll enjoy the money if they want to give it to me.

I had money in the 90's. I had savings in the 90's. I now have little money left after paying for gas and my savings are...well, pretty much gone. Yeah, give me some more of the old Clinton magic please!

Hillary will at least fight for you to get your voice heard and your RIGHT to vote count.
Obama rejected it, which is not a very presidential thing to do is OUTWARDLY suppress tax paying citizens!
If he could do it to your state, he would and we all know that now!
Hillary did not care about you at all when your right to vote was not needed when she THOUGHT she had this primary and nomination in the bag. Please..........she did not voice NOT 1 public concern going into this primary season about MI or FL's punishment due to THEIR OWN STATES LEADERS, NOT UNTIL she needed it.

Please tell me how the decisions of state leaders in MI and FL is Obama's fault??? Please explain how HE created this drama.

Hillary can care less about you. Obama is following the rules that each team had at kick off. Period!!! He said split the delegates evenly, than your vote will count. But people like just gotta still sound lost about what really happened and how.

Simple he didn't back Michigans state legisture when Clinton did, but without Obama coming to the state it fell apart he only cares about himsels you have nerve to attack Hillary when Obama threw his Grand mother under the bus to help his cause. "She's just a typical white person" he said! So I guess your a racist too!

Go Hillary Go!!! This comment just told me that your leadership is very strong. Don't give up and keep fighting. One very intersting subject is...."what is Obamas change". He is always fighting for change and always pointing to the SOUTH. Then again, the black community can not really rely on Rev. Jessie Jackson. Hats off to the black community for supporting Obama. I like him but give him couple more years to prove himself.

The Repukes bail out the bank stockholders and executives - that is called corporatism -- or fascism.

The Dems tend to want to bail out individuals - call it socialism.

Taxpayers foot the bill either way.

Name your poison, folks.

Its amazing how the wingnuts avoid a topic like this.

Bear/Morgan get $30 billion in backup funding from the Fed and future profit guarantees and they say nothing. Some labor group asks for $1 an hour raise and they go ballistic.

You wingnuts are scum.

Oh SHUTUP Butterfly...

People are looking for a real solution your boyfirend doesn't have a clue much less in knowing how to choose her friends or his church.

We need someone that has solutions and can be counted on in a crisis. Folks this is a crisis that we are in. All of us have seen our savings dwindle to nothing. Life and the Economy was better for us under a Clinton.

We need to do something and fast. We are not supporting a person who has NO JUDGMENT AND NO PLANS FOR OUR ECONOMIC SURVIVAL. There will be more on the horizon about Obama and we can't risk giving the election to the republicans.

If this spineless party does not give her the nomination then we need to take actions into our own hands.

We can be brave and write her in! Say no to Obama and YES WE WILL TO CLINTON.

You are correct.

It is called "greasing the palm" and it has never gone out of fashion.

Dems are as capitalist as anyone (don't tell the Bush rednecks).

You are listening to Hillary!! What has been on the news over and over is that both campaigns had objections. Where was Hillary back in October, November, December--oh yea that's when she said you all didn't matter!!!! It wasn't until after Super Tuesday that you became important and then your voice should be heard. But of course then she didn't NEED to vote to stay alive...

I can't believe people fall for that--that attitude would make me mad and I would change my vote for sure!!!

While a great deal of Hillary Clinton’s newly released First Lady schedule features mystery private meetings, documents from 1996 clearly show her participating in a lot of fundraising events including the scandalous White House coffees used for illegal campaign fundraising.

Throughout that year and parts of 1995, Clinton hosted White House coffees to raise cash for her husband’s reelection campaign. The events are marked CG for Clinton-Gore and appear often in the records, which were recently made public thanks to a Judicial Watch lawsuit.

The documents illustrate the former First Lady’s deep involvement in political fundraising and shed light on her role as hostess of more than 90 White House coffees for about 1,000 major contributors. Some Democratic fundraisers explicitly sold invitations—for $50,000 to $100,000— to the well-publicized events with the president, vice president and their respective wives.

The coffees helped Democrats raise nearly $30 million and were largely associated with the notorious campaign finance abuses of the Clinton presidency. One infamous java sipper, Johnny Chung, delivered $50,000 directly to the First Lady’s chief of staff at the White House even though federal law bars officials from receiving political donations on government property.

Clinton’s calendar omits the fact that she took a picture in the White House with Chung on the day he delivered the $50,000 to Maggie Williams, who currently runs her presidential campaign. Chung eventually pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and admitted that a big chunk of his contributions actually came from a Chinese military operative.

The records indicate that the First Lady had an “official photo” session in the Map room but the name of the person she had her picture taken with was deleted on grounds that it would be an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” A few minutes later Clinton had another photo session yet the subject’s name—astronaut Eileen Collins—is included in the records

No judgement and no plan for economic survival???guess you won't be voting for Clinton--

You SHUT UP--apparently you aren't smart enough to know that we can't go back to the 90's. The circumstances then are not the same they are now!! This is 2008 not the 1990's. Personally I vote for McCain before I will vote for hillary.. there last itme in office was a total disgrace--we were a laughing stock thanks to the Clinton's.
