WHAS listeners tell Tony what they think of the government bailout failure Click Here

The stunning defeat of the bailout proposal by the House of Representatives today sent the Dow to its largest one-day point drop ever. It left deep party divides behind it as blame was hurled by both parties. The bill’s failure was blamed by those that voted nay on the basic principle of the government buying troubled assets and giving it partial ownership of businesses, compromising our system of capitalism. Others had their lingering concern of tax dollars being used to bail out Wall St fat cats. Many felt that t! o rush through this legislation the way it is would be mistake. The defeat also left the larger question: where do we go from here? Congress has promised swift action to get a bailout bill passed.  Discussing specific issues with the bailout and what provisions should be changed is political and corporate ethics expert Vince Crew.  Click Here

Friday night’s debate was crucial for both Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, their first debate in a race that remains exceedingly close just over five weeks from Election Day. Both candidates say they will return to Washington for talks on the economic crisis. Talks at the White House with U.S. President George Bush, Senator McCain, Senator Obama and other leading lawmakers fell apart late Thursday. Meantime, Governor Sarah Palin said she will be giving back $1,000 from the wife of one of the from two Alaska politicians implicated in a fed! eral corruption probe. The move came a few hou! rs after The AP reported that Governor Palin had accepted the money during her successful 2006 run for governor. Governor Palin was elected easily after she promised to rid Alaska's capital of dirty politics. How did each candidate do at the debate on Friday? What did the candidates do over the weekend on the economic front? Should Palin give back the money from the wife of a politician under investigation?
