Obama To Vote On Bailout Package, McCain Says He Hopes To
NEDRA PICKLER | September 29, 2008 11:49 AM EST |
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama plans to return to the Senate this week so he can vote for the Wall Street bailout package.
The Illinois senator is expected to support the plan, but hasn't committed yet since he's still examining the details. The $700 billion compromise legislation is up for a vote Monday in the House, with the Senate vote expected as early as Wednesday.
A spokesman for John McCain said the Republican nominee plans to be in Washington and hopes he'll be able to vote, depending on the schedule.
Obama was scheduled to campaign Wednesday in La Crosse, Wis. It was unclear if his morning rally there would still go on, depending on when the vote is scheduled, but campaign organizers said they hoped he could still attend.

Oh gee,
Probably won't be there out of embarrassment since the executives of companies which have to take part in the bailout will still be keeping their golden parachutes, and he's probably one of those Congresscritters who wanted it that way.

Have I been reading that so very important part of the legislation wrong?
There aren't supposed to be any NEW parachutes, but those who already have them get to keep them.
