Obama: Government Examining 'Unusual Market Activity' Thursday
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyPresident Obama said Friday that regulators are looking into the "unusual market activity" on Wall Street that saw stocks plunge nearly 1,000 points in a half-hour Thursday, before rebounding. "The regulatory authorities are evaluating this closely, with a concern for protecting investors and preventing this from happening again," the president told reporters gathered in the White House driveway. Findings and recommendations on how to avoid a repeat of the computerized sell-off will be make public, he said. Obama called the news conference to talk about an April economic report which showed ...

AP Agrees: McCain Out of Frying Pan, Into Fire
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: The Associated Press agrees with my assessment, saying that, without a bailout agreement, McCain's campaign has reached "a political dead end.The McCain campaign has been reduced to trying to blame the side that overwhelmingly favored the bill, whose failure precipitated the biiggest one-day point loss in the Dow's history, while defending the crybabies who voted it down because Nancy Pelosi hurt their feewings. Richer still is their insistence that this is no time for the "blame game." The fact that the ostensibly uber-neutral AP is reporting thiscould be devastating for McCain. It ...
