So far this looks like simple blackmail in a controlled descent.
We think there will be a snapback rally if the House votes for the bailout.
The pressure will remain on until the Senate votes on Wednesday.
Expect anything.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. And again I will say it, rejoice. Let your gentleness and consideration be known to all, for the Lord is always near. Do not be anxious about anything, but with prayer, and by supplication, and with thanksgiving, let your needs be made known to God. And then the peace of the Lord, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds, in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:4-7
