Looks like it was. However, I believe it would have passed first time if not for Barney Frank and Pelosi acting like jerks. That is what I am picking up. We will see what is published later on the reasons.

Wrong again, Kenneth... “From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families. “Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill. “Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome. “This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.” —McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin politico.com
