"We are going to get a package passed...We will rise to the occasion, where Republicans and Democrats will come together and pass a substantial rescue plan," President Bush said today about the proposed $700 million bailout.

Update:  Earlier today Peter Viles, author of the L.A. Land blog, hosted a live chat with readers about the proposed bailout.  A transcript is available.
