"Randy Kuhl, my opponent, flip-flopped and yielded under pressure from corporate special interests in the Bush administration to make sure he voted for this bill and it's a very sad day for the American taxpayer," said Massa.

Kuhl's congressional challenger, Eric Massa, says changes to the bailout plan only added pork and corporate tax breaks. He says he would have voted against it both times.

Incidentally, environmental groups were lobbying to pass the bailout bill because it had tax extenders for renewable energy.
