Oh hey look it's our president, Henry Paulson, finally telling America what he's going to do to make sure everyone isn't so poor anymore. We are a little late to the game here since he started talking a few minutes ago but meh, what the hell, let's give this a look.

10:10 AM -- Oh God there are a lot of acronyms in this fellow's address. More coffee please!

10:11 AM -- On MNSBC they are showing the most terrible images next to old Paulson at his podium. Tragic Dow numbers, abandoned stucco mansions with a million foreclosure signs outside, traders wandering aimlessly around Wall Street...Yay, now he's taking questions!

10:12 AM -- Congratulations, taxpayers! You are now the proud owners of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of bad debt, courtesy of various banks and lenders. Oh Jesus Paulson just RAN off the stage.

10:14 AM -- Ha ha, well, that was brief but terrifying! Mika Brzezinski informs us that President Bush will be speaking in half an hour, which we will probably also liveblog, for "fun."
