It was a vote of no confidence in President Bush -- but it was cast mostly by his own party: Two-thirds of Republicans, and two- fifths of Democrats, in an almost evenly divided House of Representatives yesterday rejected the administration's pitch for a massive bailout of our nation's financial industry. The vote was 228-205. The president had taken to national TV last week to warn of dire consequences if Congress failed to act immediately on the $700 billion measure. His treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, had led a high-ranking mission to Capitol Hill to put our lawmakers on the spot. Even the back-channeling Dick Cheney had huddled with House Republicans, many of whose sense of fiscal responsibility was offended, and their instincts for surviving the November election sharpened by W...

People all over the country are up in arms about this," said a spokesman for UsAction. "Our members are livid, and they are hitting the streets." True Majority, an online forum for activists, said there were 251 events planned in over 35 states to protest the bailout. Journalist Naomi Klein, author of the book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," speaking with Amy Goodman of the nationally syndicated radio show "Democracy Now," said people are angered as they perceive that the Bush administration is using a kind of extortionist tactic to get the bailout.
