The Democrats’ bailout bill

The Democrats’ bailout bill

The House passed the $819 billion bailout bill. Not a single Republican voted for it. That means the Democrats own it. If it succeeds in getting the economy on track, they get the credit. If it doesn’t, Republicans can tell America they told us so.

Is this good Republican strategy to rebuild the party, or an obstructionist rejection of the President’s call for bipartisan government?

(Today the bill goes to the Senate, which is expected to up the pricetag to $900 billion.)
