Lawmakers Have Regrets, Too.

Here's an article from Politico that pins some of the blame for the latest market meltdown on the members of Congress who voted to roll back regulation in the late '90s. Not pretty.  

Conveniently for the candidates, neither of them was present at the vote. Obama, of course, was not yet in the Senate, although his campaign says he was fighting for increased regulation at the time. 

As for McCain, well, he just missed the vote. It might've been during his other bid for the presidency. Or, he might have just been off on a self-imposed "suspension". Who knows?
