US politics has been so ulcer-inducing this week--it's pretty freaky when the President of the United States throws up his hands and begs the country to heed him because in his words, "our country could experience a long and painful recession." Then he talks about a plan of Treasury Secretary Paulson's that he backs but just hours later his own party turns against him saying there's never been (a plan) to back Paulson's's plan. Awkward! Anyway this is a cute non-partisan informational video of Palin and Biden --mini bios and thumbnail political backgrounds. A welcome respite.

"The situation is like that movie trailer where a guy with a deep, scary voice says, ‘In a world where credit markets are frozen, where banks refuse to lend to each other at any price, only one man, with one plan can save us.’"
JARED BERNSTEIN, of the Economic Policy Institute, on the push for a financial bailout.
