As I sat and watched the Dow drop and the House Bail out bill, flop - there was the sense that no one knew what was going on. There were several mikes open and we heard some panic voices in the background. The largest single drop of 777.58 on the stock market in one day, ever.
37 days. No wonder it didn't pass. Those who are looking at re-election couldn't bring themselves to commit political suicide and those who were getting in for the first time, wouldn't have a snowball chance in hell of winning if they voted yea.
There are very few times that you see the press and the Congress speechless but that was the case today. After watching the whole thing and the vote was closed it occurred to me that not only was this a historic moment for our country but these guys were experiencing what believers feel like when witnessing a miracle. You are totally in awe and are frozen in the Moment. 37 days sounds like a lifetime, where will we be as a country in that time. My 401K has already gone to a 101K. Not sure I have 37 more days left.
No one knows what to do next. With calls to elected officials running 100 to 1 against any kind of bail-out plan, who is going to decide which way we go? Gives us even more reason not to put our trust in people, governments, bail out plans or MSNBC. Especially now, put your trust, vote, effort to the One who made the heavens and the earth.
We are all stunned.
This is not what we are used to.
37 days is not the end.
Especially with Tina Fey to cheer us up...
