This is turning into a fuckin' circus.
Barack Obama and his Democratic colleagues in Congress blasted John McCain on Thursday, accusing him of injecting presidential politics into the high-stakes debate on Capitol Hill over economic bailout legislation.
The round of recriminations came after the two rival candidates left what was supposed to be a landmark summit with President Bush and congressional leaders. Aides and officials in the meeting said the discussion ended badly, with Democrats fuming at House Republicans over their refusal to drop objections to the administrations proposal.
But they also spread the blame to the Republican presidential nominee, who on Wednesday announced he was suspending his campaign to work on the negotiations and called for such a high-level meeting of candidates and officials in Washington, D.C.
Heres my observation and I think this may have been confirmed at the meeting today when you inject presidential politics into delicate negotiations, sometimes its not helpful. The cameras change things, Obama told FOX News after the meeting ended. Its not clear to me that having presidential candidates in a high-profile way in the negotiating process is useful.
