[Vision2020] US House Votes Against Bailout

[Ted Moffett]

The US House had voted against the bailout when I first posted on this
subject.  History.  This was based on "live" coverage of the US House floor
on CNBC, with a running vote tally being taken. There was later a small vote
correction that did not alter the outcome.

When you posted about the live CNN stream, the bailout had already been
voted down.  Apparently, the "live CNN stream" is not so "live."

The latest news is that the US House leadership plans a second attempt to
pass the bailout bill.

The Dow is now down about 450 points...
