bush to speak tonight Options

[brooklyneast05]

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.

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.
