Despite the rhetoric flying back and forth between the two presidential campaigns, this bailout has nothing to do with either of them and it wasn't really defeated because of either of them either.

This issue is bigger and older than either of their candidacies. Making reference to either Obama or McCain is a polarizing comment by its very nature, especially in this forum where political rhetoric flies free and fast. And I guess that's fine if you want to turn the issue into yet another partisan debate. But for someone who claims to not engage in polarization, it seems to me that you ought to know better than to make a gratuitous reference to presidential politics when the subject has nothing to do with it.

I'll give this the proper reply it is due after my midterms on Thursday. But I'm not so sure if countering your statements would be beneficial... this seems like a vicious cycle. I will have to reflect on it while I'm studying at the law library.
