After trumpeting the need for his participation in Washington to discuss the proposed bailout of Wall Street, Sen. John McCain did not participate much in the talks, said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Reid criticized McCain, the Republican Party's presidential candidate, for remaining silent for the first hour of the meeting.
"Finally Senator Obama said, 'Can we hear from Senator McCain?' and he didn’t say anything of substance, literally," Reid said in a video available below. "That meeting at the White House was a waste of time."
Reid claimed McCain's unwillingness and inability to speak about the $700 billion bailout proposed by the Bush administration underlined his inability to lead the country.
"I know John McCain," Reid said. "John McCain does not have the temperament to be president of the United States and he has proven that in the last week."
