by forthepeopl1 July 22, 2008 7:09 PM EDT: this say''''''''s it all. it''''''''s all about the wall street investors and mainly china,japan investor. the one''''''''s mr potatohead paulson sold them in his many years.

his head is on the chopping block and he is useing the americans tax payers to bail him out.
July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, trying to persuade Congress to approve his rescue plan for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, said U.S. financial market stability is at stake and international investors are awaiting the outcome.

``This is about not only our housing markets, but it''''''''s about our capital markets more broadly,'''''''''''''''' Paulson said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. ``This goes well beyond the two institutions -- Fannie and Freddie -- it has to do with investors in the United States and investors all over the world.''''''''''''''''

yep, we the people get f by whitehouse and congress again..thanks to americans not telling congress to get f on this idear. everyone should hold town by town rally,city by city rally,state by state rallys or completely stop working stop buying,stop them in their tracks.

come on america what will it take for you to stand up for your kids and grandkids futures..

americans need to tell congress that the same investors that are putting americans on the streets, need to be told that it goes both ways, and americans are not going to bailout the same investors that started this whole thing in the first place; Reply to this comment

by jkogstad July 21, 2008 11:14 PM EDT: When is CBS going to get a REAL anchor? The safety lady in annoying, superficial, and an idiot. It%u2019s unfortunate that, because of her, I have 1 less rational perspective on the world. There are plenty of female anchors (see McNeil %u2013Lehrer) that earn respect. But Katie should be reporting about lost pets, and lawn darts.
Ditch her, find someone with integrity.

I wondered if she had a chance to read all the negative things said about her. If she thought her high Q rating was bad before wait until she read this book.; Reply to this comment
