I agree with former President Bill Clinton's statements about the bailout plan.

CNN.com - Transcripts

Quote:

BILL CLINTON, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: First of all, we should all be here. No one knows for sure what all the answers are. No one knows for sure what is going to work. No one knows for sure whether any of us who were in positions of responsibilities in the past could have done something we didn't do to change the outcome of this.

But I will tell you what I think.

First of all, I think we do have to do something to rescue the financial system. And it's not Wall Street versus Main Street now. More than half the American people have a direct or indirect stake in the stock market. So we need the basic -- and we need -- all of us want steady money market firms -- funds and stable bank accounts and the availability of credit.

So this is about saving the very financial system.

So, in general, I would give marks to Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke for getting out here and fighting all this political heat and when people are mad, frustrated and disoriented and trying to figure out what to do.

Secondly, I do believe the bill they have presented is not detailed enough in terms of the citizens of the country. Over a year ago, Hillary tried to get a moratorium on home mortgage foreclosures and then a mechanism in place to do individual mortgage workouts, because you save money by losing less if you rewrite a mortgage down a little bit and keep a person in their home than if you have to foreclose on the house. That costs the economy a quarter million dollars.

So I think what she has said, using this Depression-era mechanism isn't always a good thing. And we're already doing it on a smaller with a few banks.

The third thing is, there should be Congressional oversight so we can keep asking questions.

And the fourth thing I would say is it would be a good thing -- I think there's a fair chance, if this is done right, the taxpayers will get all their money back, maybe even run a profit. Keep in mind, when I loaned Mexico money, you remember that? KING: Yes, I do.

CLINTON: We got paid back three years early and made $600 million. When we bailed out Chrysler, we made money. And in the Depression, when we saved a million homeowners, we made money. Because America will come back.

So I think it has to be done, but it ought to be done in the right way.

They are very well-said!

Oh, yeah, that's right; in that case, you should find a channel right quick!

You don't need them all for tonight; one will do (unless you enjoy watching multiple channels).

Sorry about that. Maybe this will help:

TV listings guide, TV shows, cable TV, satellite TV, TV schedules on Zap2it

(Click on "Change my location" for your local listings.)

Thanks for your help.

I found a channel that I'll be watching it on.

BTW.....Oxford, Mississippi--didn't a well known author come from there??

Never mind, I answered my own question--William Faulkner.

Mmmmmmmmm, I could really do with a latte right now!

And they're right, I'm sure almost any local channel you have you can watch it. I would think all ABC, CBS, and NBC would show it, but if you have cable, the most probable ones to watch on are either FoxNews, or MSNBC/CNN (they're both as liberal as each other).

It really doesn't matter what station you watch the debate on...its the same debate no matter what the channel. Liberal or conservative bias only comes into play in the analysis of the debate. All stations will be showing the same thing when it comes to the actual debate.

I agree with you so that is why it is better for us to discuss on debate after watching it rather listening to their biased analysis.

Right, that's why I wanted to watch the debate and listen to analysts and opinions afterwards. It clearly provides that dimension that is not present in most opinions and concise summaries. Even I can't make summaries that would cover every nuance. It is also interesting to see the body language!

Byrdie714 · 09-27-2008, 10:46 AM

I almost did not watch the debate as our cable keep going in and out for the first 15 minutes.

Typical when it's a windy day here.....

Absolutely. The facial expressions were particularly interesting.
