House votes against financial bailout bill in Washington

Rep. Eric Cantro, R-VA, holds up a speech made by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, during a news conference following the defeat of the $700 billion financial bailout bill on Capitol Hill in Washington on September 29, 2008. The deal, meant to help stabilize the mortgage and banking industry by providing liquid cash and taking bad loans off the books, faltered as two thirds of Republicans voted against the Bush administration's plan.
