Did I hear right?
"The House of Representatives has shown a catastrophic failure of leadership. Monday’s vote, rejecting Hank Paulson’s admittedly imperfect plan to add liquidity, transparency and perhaps a little capital to the banking system, was shameful. It was a triumph of political expediency over the needs of the nation. The signal was that congressmen would rather save their seats than do what it takes to keep the US payments system functioning. The vote was reversed on Friday but the message cannot be unsaid."
Financial Times editorial
The leading British financial newspaper was making its point in an editorial published on Saturday.

    Buffalo Breeze
    The Buffalo Breeze is essentially a local Buffalo newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Buffalo, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

    The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

    We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
    of the news we deliver.

    Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

    We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Buffalo, New York, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Buffalo Breeze.
