LOOKING BACK AT TODAY.
In his strongest language to date regarding the hotly-debated plan to rescue
America's financial system, Obama called on President Bush to be more flexible
about changes to the proposal and warned Wall Street CEOs against being selfish
about the terms of the bailout. "Yesterday, the President said that Congress
should pass this proposal to ease the crisis on Wall Street without significant
changes or improvements," the Illinois senator told reporters, arguing that
everyone has a stake in solving the crisis to protect the jobs and the life
savings of millions. "Given that fact, the President's stubborn inflexibility
is both unacceptable and disturbingly familiar. This is not the time for
my-way-or-the-highway intransigence from anybody involved."

The McCain-Palin campaign tried to prevent reporters and television producers
from viewing the vice presidential nominee's meetings with world leaders during
the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday. The campaign had planned to allow
a "pool" camera and producer -- serving as representatives for all five
television networks -- as well as wire and newspaper reporters into of most of
Palin's meetings. But, at the last minute, the campaign informed the press
corps that only cameras -- without reporters or producers accompanying them --
would be permitted.

All politics is local, and in beleaguered Michigan, that means cars, cars,
cars. A new Obama ad up in Michigan today hits McCain not just on the number of
cars he and his wife own, but the three foreign autos in their fleet.

The McCain campaign went after Obama-Biden for Biden's comments in which he
said they don't support clean coal. Biden's comments aside, moreover, Obama has
always supported clean coal. Here's what he said in his acceptance speech at
the Democratic convention: "As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves,
invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear
power." http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/23/1436515.aspx
Voters in battleground states have a very low opinion of the president. Is it
McCain's highest hurdle?

With Paulson and Bernanke testifying before the Senate Banking Committee today
on the proposed bailout, here's a bit of perspective on the size of the $700
billion proposal. If it were a country, it'd be the 21st largest in the world.
It's more than the cost of the Iraq war. It's larger than the Pentagon budget
and more than 11 times the U.S. education budget. It basically adds up to about
three Ohios. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/23/1436850.aspx
