Posting Video of Bush's bailout speech
One think I'm doing is encouraging liberal bloggers to post videos of Bush's September 24 2008 bank bailout speech. This will help remind the voters who have short memories how we got here and whose fault it was. Here's the youtube link. Post this on your blogs and maybe it will get som attention.

1. I often fantasize about what would have happened had Congress just left town and done nothing
No bailout, just let the banks fail.

"My natural instinct is to oppose government intervention"

"I believe companies that make bad decisions should be allowed to go out of business. Under normal circumstances I would have follows this course, but there are not normal circumstances."

Yeah, no shit. This only applies to you when it's small business that can't compete with corporations. "Not normal circumstances" obviously means that the "wrong" companies are going under. Better intervene.
