John McCain Watch: What Happened in the Cabinet Room Yesterday?
US President George W. Bush (centre) makes remarks during a meeting with members of congress including the presidential candidates John McCain (left) and Barack Obama (right). Top Democrats angrily accused McCain of sabotaging an astronomically expensive deal to bail out Wall Street and shore up the US economy
Though Sen. Chris Dodd implied that Sen. McCain sandbagged the rest of the negotiators by bringing up alternative proposals, McCain himself did not bring up those proposals, according to four independent sources briefed by four different principals inside the meeting, including two Republicans and two Democrats.
“McCain has not attacked the Paulson deal,” said a third Republican who was briefed by McCain direclty. “Unlike the [Democrats] in the [White House] meeting, he didn’t raise his voice or cause a ruckus. He is urging all sides to come together.“
Looks like John McCain is putting country first and the Democrats are trying for political advantage.
Just saying……
