For Obama's ideas.
The House GOP members who voted against the bill are not blaming Pelosi. Indeed, the evidence is that Gingrich was behind the GOP voting against the bill. Big Media repeatedly asks why the Democrats could not pass the bill, and why Obama did not deliver the Black Congressional caucas, while not asking McCain why he can't deliver whites or WHY OVER 66% OF REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST THE BILL!
Talk about a free pass! John McCain can't deliver a majority of his own party to support a bailout that he supports, and Big Media is blindly replaying McCain's lies that Obama and Democrats should be blamed for the bill's failure! The news story should be that Mccain's efforts were a miserable failure.
Also, Big Media has been continuing its narrative that McCain is taking action while Obama is sitting on the sidelines by announcing McCain's support for increasing FDIC insurances limits even though Obama first proposed the idea.
The truth is that to the extent the bailout takes place, the real courage has been displayed by the Democrats and Obama in supporting a bailout proposed by a President that they hate! The knee jerk reaction would be to oppose anything suggested by Bush, but the Democrats are stepping up to the plate. The Republicans are passing blame.
So, where is Big Media? Simply repeating Republican lies!
