It's short. Regardless if you are for or against the bill, Obama's reaction ranks the best according to Gallup poll. Forgive me if it was posted earlier.

The Gallup Poll, on the question of who has responded best to a crisis.
by Mark Silva
Who's doing a better job of dealing with the Wall Street crisis?
Barack Obama, according to a new survey.
Better than Republican presidential rival John McCain, the Gallup Poll has found, and better even than the Democratic leaders of Congress. Indeed, the Democratic senator from Illinois is the one figure in this survey whose approval ratings outweigh his disapproval ratings on this question.
Obama won the approval of 46 percent of those surveyed Friday and Saturday - before the congressional leadership agreement on a $700-billion bailout for the financial industry was announced on Sunesday.
Both Obama and McCain were rated better for their responses to the Wall Street crisis than their own parties in Congress were rated. Obama's approval: 46 percent. McCain's: 37 percent. Democratic leaders: 39 percent. Republican leaders: 41 percent.
The Gallup survey included interviews before, during, and after the first debate between Obama and McCain Friday night. The survey of 1,011 adults has a possible margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.''
UPDATE: bulbol08 corrects: Democratic leaders 39 percent. Republican leaders 31 percent.
