A push-back on the bailout plan in Congress. Earlier today, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she hoped to have a draft of the tentative agreement online by noon today. But now congressional aides say that time frame has been pushed back to late this afternoon. Lawmakers still hope to have a final deal today before the Asian markets open for trading Monday. The bailout is intended to buy up troubled debts freeing up banks to begin lending again.
Senator Barack Obama says he's inclined to support the agreement but is not happy about it. Senator John McCain also is likely to support the bailout plan.
