The second version of the bailout bill was voted on last night (10/1/08) by the Senate. Obama and McCain took part in the vote this time. They were both for the bailout bill.
I (wrongly)Â criticized Obama and McCain for not voting the first-time around, especially after their big hub-bub about going back to Washington till a bill got passed by the Senate (and then it goes on to the House). However, I since realized , that senators usually know ahead of time how the vote will go and it doesn’t make sense to spend all the money and time flying back unless it is a close vote.
Note: There was some confusion on my part and I though the Senate voted on the bailout before the House, earlier this week. Nope.
