How Big is the Wall Street Bailout?
THE CORNER
By Stephen Spruiell

The House passed a $25 billion bailout for the U.S. auto industry this afternoon and nobody even batted an eye.

The Bailout Summit

By Yuval Levin

One question arising from McCain's move today has been how President Bush would respond to McCain's suggestion of calling a conference with congressional leaders and the two presidential candidates. If he called one, it would obviously put pressure on Obama to follow McCain's game-plan. The AP now reports that Bush has done that, inviting McCain, Obama, and congressional leaders to the White House tomorrow afternoon. ABC is reporting that Obama has accepted the invitation. The assistance Harry Reid offered to Obama with his comments this afternoon couldn't have gone unnoticed at the White House, and this move certainly offers similar assistance to McCain.

Here They Are

By Kathryn Jean Lopez

Today, U.S. Senators John McCain and Barack Obama issued the following statement: 'The American people are facing a moment of economic crisis. No matter how this began, we all have a responsibility to work through it and restore confidence in our economy. The jobs, savings, and prosperity of the American people are at stake. 'Now is a time to come together -- Democrats and Republicans -- in a spirit of cooperation for the sake of the American people. The plan that has been submitted to Congress by the Bush Administration is flawed, but the effort to protect the American economy must not fail. 'This is a time to rise above politics for the good of the country. We cannot risk an economic catastrophe. Now is our chance to come together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this country.'
