Watching in Wall Street

by Contessa Brewer, MSNBC anchor

Wall St. has always been one of New York City's places to visit, but tourists here today are witnessing something different unfolding.

As I prepare for the MSNBC hour from the financial district, there are crowds taking photographs and people waiting to hear from reporters. Everyone is trying to understand and figure out the U.S. economy in turmoil. NBC's Rehema Ellis has been talking to people, and tells me that most of the folks she's talked to don't really know the specifics of the bailout plan and are waiting for some clarity.
