Both campaigns are sniping at each other blaming each other for the bill's setback today. Democrats are blaming McCain for coming in for a photo op while stalling talks that had been going well and some Republicans are blaming Obama saying that his presence led to a shouting match preventing any bipartisan solutions from being considered.

It's really irrelevant which side is to blame at this point, even though i'm sure we'll end up arguing about that later. What should be evident though is that bringing these presidential candidates in at this point has not helped at all and both campaigns admitting that it has hindered progress.

Oh and the Democrats upset at Obama for insisting that bankruptcy reform should not be included in this legislation need to shut the hell up. He's absolutely right that the typical partisan agendas have no place here. Keep this important bill the bare minimum of what is needed to help the economy and we can get back to pushing for our respective policies later.
