QUOTE NEW YORK (CNN) -- President Bush will deliver a prime-time televised speech Wednesday night to pressure Congress to pass a $700 billion plan to bail out Wall Street, the White House announced. Bush's speech is set to begin at 9:01 p.m. ET and will take just less than 15 minutes. Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke warned Wednesday that the Wall Street crisis is the worst the nation has faced since the end of World War II and urged Congress to take action on a proposed bailout package. Congress is considering whether to allow Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to use federal funds to buy up to $700 billion in mortgage-related securities and other assets that have caused turbulence on Wall Street and have undermined credit markets worldwide. But Paulson and Bernanke faced deeply skeptical lawmakers, including members of Bush's own party, when they pitched the plan before congressional committees Tuesday and Wednesday. are you going to watch bush try to convince everyone tonight? are you in favor or against the bail out right now? |

Psh. There are more important things on TV. Like Project Runway.
I will be watching CNN/MSNBC at 10 though, to see what I missed. |

I'm definitely against the bail out. Bush has already screwed up enough crap.

^ Yeah. If the Congress approves the motion as is (which they're not going to do, since each party is against it for their own reasons), it'll show that they're even dumber than we think they are.

Well, him speaking won't be interesting, but what people will have to say afterwards might be.

Well I can't wait to see this fail miserably. At least I have something to laugh at. The president is a walking joke.

Did anyone watch this?
I didn't see all of it. Granted, Bush isn't all that exciting to watch. I felt as though he repeated himself a lot throughout the speech. |
