Irony - First Read Notes McCain Was Taking Credit For Passage Today

[Median Democrat]

McCain was patting himself on the back for his leadership in convincing House Republicans to vote for the bill. I guess, according to Boehner, the GOP pays more attention to what Pelosi says, then what McCain says. I guess they are desparate to cover up for McCain's utter failure.

BEXLEY, Ohio - After "suspending" his campaign to return to Washington last week and help negotiate Congress's Wall Street bailout, McCain was back on the campaign trail today at a rally with his running mate where he criticized his opponent for not responding to the financial crisis in a similar fashion.

"I went to Washington last week to make sure that the taxpayers of Ohio and across this great country were not left footing the bill for mistakes made in Wall Street and evil and greed in Washington," McCain said.

Despite numerous earlier claims that this crisis was not a situation to be politicized, McCain then added, "it's a matter of record Senator Obama took a very different approach to the crisis our country faced. At first, at first he didn't want to get involved. And then he was "monitoring the situation." That's not leadership, that's watching from the sidelines."

McCain's remarks came hours before the bailout legislation failed on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
