McCain part deux

If you listen to Barney Frank and all of his buddies on the left side of the aisle, the $700 billion bailout package that failed to pass the house yesterday was a done deal until John McCain stuck his nose into the issue. So therefore, it is because of McCain that the stock market dropped 778 points at the closing bell yesterday.

Truth be told, there was never a deal that was reached. The so called "deal" was done behind closed doors without a single republican represented during the discussions. There were precisely 4, count them 4 republicans in support of the "done deal" bill on Friday. John McCain was able to get the republicans to the table. Once there was some actual give and take on the bill there were 64 republicans on board.

How many votes did Senator Obama bring to the table...oh, that's right, zero. according to his people, he never picked up the phone to gain support for the bill.

By the way, without a bill in place the Dow Jones was up today by 485 points. Not everything it lost yesterday, or over the last several weeks, but it was up.

Just a little perspective. Let the free markets work.
