Statement by McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin
Topics: Political News and commentariesVia Rich Lowry at NRO, McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin has this to say about this afternoon's no-go on the bailout plan (it failed today in the Democratically-controlled House by 23 votes, with more than 90 Democrats voting against it):
"From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families.Related: The Bailout mess, where is Barack Obama?"Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill.
"Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome.
"This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country."
