After days of intense bipartisan negotiations and meetings today at the White House, the deal to bail out staggered investment banks may be dying amid partisan finger-pointing.
Republicans blame Democrats. Democrats blame Republicans, and a key Democrat even pointed a finger at Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain.
House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told Democratic colleagues that McCain's sudden heightened involvement in the negotiations has destroyed chance of an agreement, sources told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
Frank compared McCain's involvement to "Richard Nixon blowing up the Vietnam peace talks in 1968."

Wow, what a man Senator McCan is!
They can’t blame Obama as he is too dumb to know anything about economics, unless it is a payoff.
I have the lowest possible opinion of the voters in Massachusetts that keep sending this moron to Washington.
Frank is a hateful, treacherous pile of slime.
Yeah, that's apples to apples.
All you hear by the rats is that McCain is bringing politics into the process but every third word from their mouths is blaming republicans. How can Bush allow the so called president obama get on tv and have a press conference after such and important meeting. Who is president???
Enough of this. McCain’s next ad should be Barney Frank’s face and a scroll of every move he made to block regulatory reform and oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the rest of this debacle. Give this mess the poster boy it deserves.
high stakes poker. everybody goes all in on everything
Unfortunately, the MSM will continue to do what they do best...protect the Democratic Party. I do sympathize with you though...and have given up on the media.
It was the plan all along, well maybe not the crash, but only a fool would think unqualified buyers should buy houses with no money down.
Revised Headline:
McCain Kills Bailout to Nowhere!
This is like an alternate universe when democrats want to give 700 billion dollars to wall street.
Deomcrats are in the pocket of Big Banking.
My apologies to Mr. Fife. I loved him in that show.
McCain should go total EMCON ... no press appearances at all until this is over.
Let Obama look like the one running to the cameras looking for cover.
There’s about to be a big meeting on The Hill with Paulson and senior Congressional members.
Seriously! Much as I despised the man at times, Clinton would never let it get to this. Of course, if Bush WANTS a bailout at all cost, then I guess he can't play the blame game with the RATs.
Bawney Fudgepack shouldn’t talk about Blowing things up. What a Crook.
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
HELP Themselves is the rule.....blustering and BSing while they sell out the American People!
>> Democrats: John McCain killed $700 billion welfare payment to Wall Street Millionaires.
But will it play in Peoria?
I think it will.
I think “fair deal or NO deal” will work out wonderfully on Main Street.
