I was 100% right in my comments: his being there last week did absolutely nothing. His rhetoric was all BS, and the only thing he did do was hurt his campaign.
In doing so, the original bill they tried to ram-road down our throats got stopped dead in it's tracks...and the republicans are working doggedly to throw out as much of the Socialist crap as they can.
Had McC not gone and took the padlock off the door to the House Republicans, we would have had a bill signed irrevocably last week - The original, nasty bill.

You’re still drinking the kool-aid. I don’t know where you are getting your info here: he had no more to do with the involvement of the House than you or I. Please post some sort of reference to back up this assertion of yours.
What he did was set himself up as the one who could solve the problem and when it didn’t get done, he looks now like he’s ineffective. He’s had a bad couple of weeks and 99% of it has been self inflicted. What he should have done was what the Journal (I think) said: start naming names on who’s to blame for all this and say the BS bailout isn’t an answer (which it’s not).
He was running a good (in some cases very good) campaign up until recently. He made a very winnable race questionable. Now, he’s slow to go on the attack because he was too comfy with the press and the other party and he seems more worried about angering them than winning the Presidency.
This is why he was a flawed candidate and never should have been the nominee.
