John McCain's presidential campaign claimed credit as Congress readied Monday to vote on an emergency economic package.

Romney: "But, you know, this is a bipartisan accomplishment, a bipartisan success. And if people want to get something done in Washington, they just watch John McCain," he said.

[Me.]

29. Holy Mackerel!

How does this play out then?

[dgibby]

37. Makes troop movements easier!

[apnu]

36. Its worse, I believe he took credit for the bill, before it was voted on. It failed...

... draw your own conclusions.

[seabeyond]

2. he just gets it wrong every time. i do believe he is worse than bush. n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. good... let him have it

it won't work

[Terran]

He's taking credit for a bill that didn't pass? Gawd, got a link? That is too idiotic!

[City Lights]

5. He's taking credit for the failure?

Ha! :rofl: Good, dump the sucker right in his lap!

[maddezmom]

[LibraLiz1973]

7. GOOD! I hope someone got that shit on tape

Lets play it on a loop

[speedoo]

8. Out of Touch John proves again how out of touch he is.

Didn't even know his rethug pals were ignoring his "influence".

[Democat]

9. Please post video

If anyone has video, we need to see it and get it on You Tube right away!

[VolcanoJen]

10. McCain: "Inaction was not an option." Meanwhile, his colleagues in the GOP House...

... are, well, not acting.

Per Politico:

“Inaction was not an option,” McCain said. “I put my campaign on hold for a couple of days last week to fight for a rescue plan that puts you and your economic security and working families first. I fought for a plan that protected taxpayers I went to Washington last week to make sure the taxpayers of Ohio and across this great country were not left footing the bill."

Even though, McCain never went to Capitol Hill this weekend, he adds:

"I’ll never be a president who sits on the sidelines when this country faces a crisis,” he said. “ I’ll never do it. I know many of you have noticed it’s not my style to simply phone it in."

Fighters belong “in the arena, ” McCain said.

"Sen. Obama took a very different approach to the crisis our country faced,” he said. “At first he didn’t want to get involved, and then he was ‘monitoring the situation.’ That’s not leadership. That’s watching from the sidelines, and watching from the sidelines is exactly what got us into this mess.”

[Me.]

17. Thanks

I heard it on MSNBC, so good to see it being reported. Now Tweety is on saying McSame just proved he can't be/isn't the leader of his party. he called him a failure.

[watercolors]

11. Repubs just lost the election!

Once people realize what just happened, how about country first, not your polical careers!! It is going to get ugly for main street.

[ellacott]

12. Let him keep talking

[Lucky 13]

13. He took credit for this failing to pass.

A good job John. :eyes:

[anigbrowl]

14. Works for me. Now he looks like an idiot.

[milkyway]

19. I agree with McFraud. Let's call it The John McCain/George Bush Wall Street Bailout Act of 2008.

[milkyway]

20. And let's call it the McCain Market Crash of 2008. By all means, drama queen, take all the credit.

[jenmito]

21. Yup. He was bragging about how HE doesn't believe in "phoning it in" even though

his campaign claimed he was making phone calls all day yesterday to get the work done to get it passed! :rofl:

[milkyway]

24. Yep, Johnny McActionhero was "working the phones" from his luxury condo in Virginia.

[jenmito]

25. At least that's what his surrogates said when he wasn't there yesterday! So once again,

his hypocrisy shows. I wonder if anyone in the media will call him on it! Probably not.

[SwampG8r]

42. you can say that again!!

[jenmito]

26. At least that's what his surrogates said when he wasn't there yesterday! So once again,

his hypocrisy shows. I wonder if anyone in the media will call him on it! Probably not.

[Me.]

31. Tweety Was Brutal

Called McSame a FAILURE

[jenmito]

33. I just saw that! I DVRed MSNBC while watching Obama's rally.

Matthews was GREAT making it CLEAR that McCain failed AND that the Dems. did their part!

[Me.]

35. Can't Wait For Hardnall Tonight

And Shuster was great with Eakins

[jenmito]

39. Neither can I!

Yes, Shuster hammered Eakins!

[Cha]

38. Wonder if tweety still thinks

mcheinous won the "debate"?

[yellowcanine]

43. Yes I noticed that little piece of hypopuffery also. While his campaign is talking about Mack

"working the phones" they accuse Obama of "phoning it in." Unbelieveble.

[fifthoffive]

22. What a leader!

Assumes the bill will pass and claims credit. Then his own party kills the bill!

Now the Republicans and McCain own the crashing economy. McCain lost the election today, if Obama didn't already have it wrapped up.

I hope some of you are right and the economy doesn't tank. I'm afraid it will.

[Median Democrat]

23. I Wonder Whether McCain Had Web Ads Out Celebrating the Passage?

[Me.]

30. Oh Please Let It Be So

I saw a clip of his cocky, snotty little speech and then wham, karma gave him a black eye.

[jamieque]

40. I agree...

Karma must be pissed off with McCain. She has been giving the old guy nothing but misery lately. However, I think Fate aka her sister is also involved with dishing out the pain. McCain has tempted Fate's wrath by being a cocky little bastard over the years. Now it seems that Fate and Karma have come to collect a overdue debt out of his old ass.

Watching McCain go down in flames is just so funny...

[Me.]

46. Flying Too Close To The Sun

Welcome to DU

[MadrasT]

34. He can sell whatever he wants... but I think there are very few

people left buying his horseshit.

[Vinca]

41. The timing was perfect, too. He took credit, it went down. nt

[Me.]

45. That Blew My Mind

What'd it take, an hour or two?

edited to add: upthread it says three hours.

[Arugula Latte]

44. Hah! Joke's on you....It's Opposite Day!
