They both voted for the bailout. Neither made sure proper oversight was in place. AIG is now majority owned by the US government and the government (congress included) is doing nothing to keep them in line. |

I wish the government would demand that party money back with the taxpayers would bail them out.

So we're going to blame the candidates for doing their job, the thing that everyone else in their position does, simply because they are in the spotlight? |

Kucinich and Paul voted against the bailout. Why couldn't we have those two running against each other for president, instead of the McCain and Obama?
