Why did Dems in the bailout bill prevent aid to family foreclosures but supported 150B for the rich’s tax cuts?
The attitude of the Democratic leaders to the broad and deep-felt popular opposition to the bailout was one of utter indifference. Many spoke of their repudiation of the will of the American people as a hallmark of true leadership.
Attempts by Democratic opponents of the original measure to attach provisions to the bill providing aid to families facing foreclosure on their homes were rejected by the Democratic leadership as impermissible.
The events of the past week have provided the clearest confirmation that the Democratic Party is completely subservient to big business and the financial oligarchy. This was underscored by the role of the party’s presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, who returned to Washington on Wednesday to cast his own ballot in favor of the bailout and lobbied to shift the votes of a number of House Democrats.
more republicans voted against the bill than dems.
Both parties supported the bill. It was a bipartisan agreement.

This bill was written by the REPUBLICANS and has bi-partisan support so if you want to blame someone you have to blame them all.

Bush and Mccain endorsed this plan and the only ones in opposition were a hand full of conservative Republicans and a few various Democrats. The who lot of them are implicated. They don’t care about public opinion; they will pass pork-laden bills until the cows come home or we are bankrupt as a country.

The reason there wasn’t aid to families in the foreclosure process is because the REPUBLICANS wouldn’t support this bipartisan bill with that included.
Once the election is over I’m sure that the Democrats will be in control of both the Legislative and the Executive branch so that this measure will be past to help main street.

What you leave out is the fact that it was these same Democrats that were responsible for the debacle to begin with.
The big October surprise is going to be Obamas relationship (one more poor association) with ACORN and their strong arm methods of getting banks to grant these mortgages.
This all began way back in the Clinton years and the heavy handed Justice Department headed up by Janet Reno, in concert with Obama and ACORN.
Will those in love with Obama ever learn just how dangerous this man would be in the White House?
