They were ready to pass a complete $700 billion, with huge money for ACORN. Now this is only $350 billion, with nothing for ACORN and a lot more oversight. GOP got their far superior insurance idea
mandated.
We were never going to get what we really wanted, but this was as good as we could have hoped for. Without John McCain coming back and emboldening the House GOP, the Frank-Dodd-Paulson-Obama-ACORN version was set to become law.

Exactly. We cannot expect to get everything we want, that is what compromise is about. It is a miracle that the minority party had this much say in the first place.
Just make sure that the agreement sent to President Bush for signing is the final one, not some forged version of the old.
I am thankful for the miracle. Thank you Republicans With Courage.

this was as good as we could have hoped forWhy? Because whatever 100% pure crap leglislation the Dems would have crafted sans input from the Repubics, Bush would have signed. Instead we'll settle for 80% crap.

now the MSM is saying mccain’s coming back was not helpful (adopting the Barney Frank BS)
The MSM does not get it any more than the tone deaf pelosi.
