The President ‘ain’t too proud to beg’

The New York Times reports that President Bush and other leaders from both major parties remain determined to get the bailout Plan through Congress.

President Bush and Senate leaders of both parties vowed on Tuesday to work toward quick approval of a financial bailout plan despite the House's rejection of a $700 billion proposal that the White House had negotiated with Congressional leaders of both parties.

"We are at a critical moment for our economy," the president said. "Congress must act."
