Claiming to have brought something up first after the fact is hardly the same thing. Furthermore, McCain was actively advocating it as a policy, whereas Obama was not.
McCain was advocating different things too, there was like a week where each day he seemed to have a different solution. In the end he still voted for the bailout. He even halted his campaign to get it passed. Like I've said I like the guy but he's not perfect either and that just seemed like a gimmick to me.
BTW G-man, how do you feel about buying up mortgages anyway? I would have thought you would be against the idea.
