Comments on: McCain, Obama On Bailout Failure

McCain Blames Unnecessary Partisanship For Congress' Failed Attempt At A Rescue Plan; Obama Says Bailout Will Come

"Wicked Pelosi should step down. The woman didn''''t even speak out about the bail-out. She used the platform to blame the republicans for the financial failure and the democrats ahve their fingers all over it! The democrats are ruining our country!"

Don''t fool yourself it didn''t matter what Pelosi said,there is a reason that Bush, Cheney and Paulson were all calling the on the fence republicans before the vote, there is a reason that McCain claims that he turned only 4 rep. votes into 65 ....Conservative republicans didn''t like the measure from the get go....wake up...smell the coffee...if you think that a speech by a democrat would have made a difference in the republican vote you are nuts....oh wait you are republican...you just don''t get it....

Just amazing how out of touch the republicans are.
How on earth do you expect anyone with a brain to believe that your party voting down the measure 65-133 is in any way due to democratic partisianship or a speech by Pelosi. The bailout is a bad thing, let the banks go bankrupt, the bailout only puts a band-aid on a wound requiring surgery. Obama and McCain should be applauding the dems and conservative repb. who voted against this nonsense. Bankruptcy for these mismanaged financial institutions will be a short term pain in the neck for the American taxpayers, a bailout, that cannot fix the issue, only brings years of headaches to the same group.

McCain repeats his imitation of Chicken Little as he led the revolt that scuttled the bill and Obama speaks calmly and responsibly in a crisis.
