No link. The CNN pool reporter says that McCain & Boehner introduced a brand new version of the bill that actually dumped the idea of a public bailout. There plan would be for private investment money, funded by tax loopholes and increased deregulation of investments (I'm not making this up). At some point, Obama cut off Boehner and complained that no specifics had been offered and that he needed to see them because this crisis needed to be resolved immediately. After a back and forth talk for over five minutes Boehner agreed to provide the full plan as soon as possible.

McCain & Boehner basically hijacked the deal, and Obama called them out on it in his diplomatic sort of way.

BTW, according to the reporter, McCain basically said nothing the entire meeting.
