Lawmakers quickly point fingers after bailout fails--NATE
The bill was aimed at buying up bad mortgages and stabilizing the falteringn economy. The bill failed in the house by a vote of 228-205. Nearly 60% of the democrats supported the bill, and about 1/3 of the republicans supported the approval of this bill. President Bush, who is a strong supporter of the bill, was very upset that the bill did not pass in the house vote. Also after the bill did not pass the DOW plunged 777 points at the end of Monday. This is a record plunge for the DOW. After the bill did not pass both Democrats and Republicans started to blame the other party for the failure of the 700 billion dollar bailout plan. John Boeckner from Ohio said that there would be no revote of Monday because most of the House Members left the Capital.

Analysis: A few jabs, but no knockout in first debate--HANNAH
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/27/debate.analysis/index.html
Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain square off, with no clear winner. Both parties are claiming the win. Democrats are saying they won in the sense that Obama didn't fold when faced with foreign policy. Republicans declare a win saying that when people head to the polls they want someone with experience.
Both candidates discuss the nation's economic woes before delving into foreign policy. Obama was much more comfortable with the econimic woes and people favor him when it comes to economic matters. However, people favor McCain when it comes to foreign policy.
McCain tries to label Obama as inexperienced while Obama tries to tie McCain to Bush.

JPMorgan buys WaMu:--THERESA
http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/25/news/companies/JPM_WaMu/index.htm?postversion=2008092519
This article is about JPMorgan Chase buys WaMu (Washington Mutual).
This was marking the biggest bank failure in the history of the nation and the "latest" in the credit crisis.
In the deal that was struck JPMorgan will get all banking operations of WaMu; that included $307 Billion in assets and $188 Billion in deposits.
JPmorgan will pay the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation $1.9 Billion.
JPMorgan also said they were going to raise $8 Billion additional capital through the sale of stock, but raised to $10 Billion.
JPMorgan will now have 5,400 branches in 23 states from the New York base.
Federal regulators reassured that the transition will be seamless for customers....bank customers should expect business as usual come Friday morning.
Shares for WaMu plummeted to $0.16--down 90%; JPMorgan was up 2.5%.
Four banks bid on WaMu: Wells Fargo, Citigroup, HSBS, and JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan "won". Earlier in the year there was talk on JPMorgan's side to buy out WaMu, but did not propose and official offer.
It was said that, "Quite possibly the biggest losers in Thursday's deal, however, are WaMu's stock and debt holders, who were effectively wiped out."

This article is about the $700 billion bailout. Rep. Barney Frank believes that there will be a deal by Sunday. A Democratic source says that if a plan is reached, the $700 billion will be broken down into smaller transactions, not given at one time. "We're back on the progress track. We had a little bit of a glitch yesterday." says Barney Frank of Missouri. He also talked about John McCain being in Mississippi for the debate. Many negotiations were still happening on Friday, and some Republicans felt like they were being rushed into making a huge decision without enough time.

The bailout: What's at stake:--SETH
http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/26/news/economy/bailout_impact/index.htm?cnn=yes
Basically this article said first that we can be pretty certain that another Great Depression will not happen. On the other hand however, times aren't very good right now. The government is debateing whether or not it would help to put 700 billion dollars to Wall Street. The theory is that it would jump start the economy. If the stock market is stronger than people have more money to spend and then the economy starts getting stronger. Since the economy is weak no one is paying off loans so the bank doesn't have any money to loan out. So if the bank can't loan any money people aren't buying houses. In return house prices fall. Overall, the 700 billion dollars would hopefully jumpstart the economy.
