Crisis Mode

I sat in awe at the television. Various people sat around with me. I was in the lobby at the city rec. center in Scottsdale after my group tennis lesson. On NBC, President Bush addressed America about the crisis that we are facing: our economy is looking grim, and may face a recession.
It was a moment in history; 13 minutes I will never forget.
In that speech, I learned so much about the reason our economy is the way it is.
About those two big companies that have drastically changed our way of life.
America is changing, and John McCain showed how he always puts his 'country first' and has decided to postpone the debate so we can all figure this situation out.
When I first heard about the 700 billion bail out on Monday, I bristled.
Immediately I thought, the government should have no part in this; we have enough on our hands as it is!
But after watching President Bush speak live and hearing his speech, I know we have to act now.
As my grandmother said to me on the phone in a 10:30 PM call to talk about Bush's address to the nation, things done too fast, cause problems.
I know that we don't have a choice and we MUST act now.
This is for the safety of the American people, and the safety of our country and city we live in.
My only question is...will it work?
