Pelosi's floor speech

This is Nancy Pelosi's floor speech before today's vote on the bailout package

Many Republicans are placing blame on this speech for the failed vote. 

As lame as the speech is, it would be even worse if Republicans seriously voted against the legislation because they were offended.

The Pelosi speech just kills me. I don't know if all these dems are feigning outrage at Bush or if they really believe the nonsense they are spewing. Have they seen the tapes of Barney Frank arguing with Republicans telling them that Fannie and Freddie are fine? Bill Clinton even says that the Dems blocked any type of reform.

I have no boubt that their goals were noble, but the results are horrendous. Obama was more than on the periphery of this. He was the second leading receiver of donations from Freddie and Fannie.

How does the news media cover this stuff up? Despite these facts, Obama rises in the polls with this economic news.

Maybe the debates will put some light on this, but I don't think McCain has the ability to articulate this.
