A.P., September 29,
MELTDOWN: Obama calls on Congress to get it done:

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Democrat Barack Obama called on Congress to stay in Washington and pass a bailout for the hobbled financial industry, minutes after the House rejected the latest plan.

"One of the message I have for Congress: Get it done," Obama said.

The Democratic presidential candidate said he's confident Congress will eventually work out something, however. "I'm confident we're going to get there, but it's going to be rocky," the Illinois senator said.
