So McCain is blaming the Bailout failure on Obama and the Democrats, and I shake my head.

If the bailout had passed, both Obama and McCain would have voted for it on wednesday. Neither could vote on it today, and to republish the roll-call I posted in the Economy thread...

Democrats backed the bailout by 140 - 95 votes, or roughly 60% - 40%. Republicans opposed it by 133 to 65, or 67% - 33%

To recap, 40% of Democrats defected, and 2/3rds of the GOP as well.

So what does this mean?

It's EVERYONE'S fault. I blame Pelosi for that speech before the vote, and for not keeping her soldiers in line as a truely effective, and not mediocre, Speaker of the House would do...I blame President Bush for having lost the leadership clout finally it seems with his own Party in the House. I blame both sides for trying to jockey today for 2012 or 2010 or even this year's elections, and try to pin the other team...

They fucked up today.
