Here's Nancy Pelosi's speech that House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said caused House Republicans to vote against George W. Bush's historically high-stakes legislation, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, that if the Bush administration is to be believed, would have prevented a collapse of the economic system.
In an extraordinary gamble on the future of the global economy, the House of Representatives voted down the $700 billion Wall Street bill 205-228, as Republicans defied their president, their presidential nominee and their leaders to vote nearly two to one against the measure described as crucial to the prevention of an economic collapse.
