Thoughts on McCain urging the President to veto a bill McCain just voted for?

Asked by EmpressPixie (14760points) October 2nd, 2008

I’m having a lot of trouble working this well, but basically: the bailout has a lot of “sweeteners” but McCain voted for it anyway. Then he went on TV and called on the President to veto it no matter the consequences because of the “sweeteners”.

Actual reporting here:

This close to the election, doesn’t is seem a bit… ill advised to vote on it one second then tell the President to veto it the next? Can some one give me the politics behind this move?
