Update at 12:50 p.m. ET. In his speech, Obama outlines six principles for reform. From his remarks, as prepared for delivery:

"First, if you're a financial institution that can borrow from the government, you should be subject to government oversight and supervision. Taxpayers who have now been called upon to spend nearly a trillion dollars to save our economy from the excesses of Wall Street have every right to expect that financial institutions are not taking excessive risks.

Just saw this on Yahoo.

The headline: To rebut rumors, Palin says daughter, 17, pregnant

"The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child."

I'm stunned. There were actual "liberal" bloggers who claimed Palin "faked" a pregnancy..

wow..

This "shame the b*tch" line of attack is sure to do wonders for elevating the discourse.

yay for us!
