look:
John McCain September 29th, 2008 says per TPM:

"Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill," the statement said. "This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country."

ok fine agree or not but there is no doubting that McCain just blamed the failure on Barack Obama and the Democrats putting politics ahead of country.

so we can at least agree he said that right? well apparently not:

Here's a fun postscript to John McCain's appearance yesterday afternoon -- the one where he appeared to blame Obama and the Dems for the bailout implosion and then call for an end to the finger-pointing in the very next sentence.
In a new interview with ABC News' Ron Claiborne, John McCain is now denying that he ever blamed them:

RC: Senator, you said that now is not the time to fix blame, but to fix the problem, but you said almost in the same breath that the democrats, including Senator Obama are responsible for the, the rescue plan falling apart.
JM: No, actually I said yesterday very clearly right before the media [that] it's time not to fix the blame, but to fix the problem. We need to sit down together republican and democrat. We don't have inflame the situation today. History will judge who was to blame, and who wasn't...

When asked whether he blamed Dems and Obama for the bailout collapse yesterday, McCain said "no."

Come on people! there is noooo way a Campaign can be this incompetent that the candidate will try and lie about something so damn obvious. they just put out an attack ad!

so I am sorry at this point I refuse to believe any politician could ever be this bad.
