Democrats are blaming McCain for the breakdown of the talks.
Point One: They control the house, they do not need the Republicans for the House to pass the bill.
Point Two: Reid said they needed McCain, once McCain accepted the challenged and returned, they blame it on him.
Point Three: Right after the meeting, Barney Frank says McCain talked little and only at the end of the meeting, but the next days blames McCain for the blowup.
Listening to Rush this afternoon, it seems that Obama opened the meeting speaking for the Democrats. Having notes on what the House Republicans were going to propose, Obama asked Paulson if it was a good idea and Paulson said no. This is what blew up the meeting.
Point Four: Democrats want cover on the bill, they will not pass unless House Republicans go along. But they want to be in charge for the next four years? Is this leadership?
Point Five: Obama has not yet said that he approves of the bill that supposedly was "agreed" to.

Bush wanted to hand a blank check of 700 billion to a trillion dollars to Paulson with no checks or accountability or hope of some pay back eventually for the taxpayer, he just wanted to take money from the poor and middle classes and give it to the rich, thank God the Democrats stood up to that, maybe not enough but something is better than nothing.
As for the Republicans we all know what they really think, they're just playing political games cause they know they've lost here, trying to save some face...after all they've wasted of taxpayer money thus far how could it be otherwise, they really take us for suckers!
