President Bush offered a short prepared statement regarding the continuing process to correct the country's economic crisis. He states to the nation and the world that the process is continuing,congress must act and damage to the country will be long and painful if they do not pass this bill....unbelievable.
John McCain, the Republican nominee for President responded by saying,it was time for Congress to go back to the drawing board in addressing the economic crisis. Accompanied by his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin,at a campaign rally in Bexley, Ohio, McCain blamed Obama and congressional Democrats for the defeat of the bailout plan in the House of Representatives.
Despite the setback, Senator Obama said he remains optimistic that Congress will eventually approve some sort of bailout plan.
"So I am confident that we are going to get there, but it is going to be a little rocky," said Barack Obama. "It's sort of like flying into Denver. You know you are going to land, but it's not always fun going over those mountains."
Obama also attacked his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain.
As he did in their first debate on Friday, Obama said McCain's previous support for President Bush's economic policies is the best argument for voters to support his call for change on Election Day.
"What we have seen over the last few weeks is the final verdict on this failed philosophy," he said. "This is the consequence of eight years of irresponsibility and it is time we had some adult supervision in the White House!"
