I finally can agree with Sen McCain on something: it''s not the greedy Wall Street people, I worry about... FIRST -- it''s the politicians and their appointed government officials etc. etc. that we the people asked to represent our interests, the ones who sold us out to those greedy Wall Street people that cause me the greatest concern. What for? Money, probably. Power, certainly.
Oh and by the way, now they are suddenly competent enough to manage our 700 billion(+) loan... how quick we forget little things like how they "lost" a trillion or so supposedly spent on the war based on lies? ***. Congress better put a BIG leash that dog while they take long hard look in the mirror themselves.

Was it the Surge or the $300/month being paid the Sons of Iraq not to shoot at our boys that''s working in Iraq right now. Surely 60 Minutes is aware of the bribe we pay the Sons of Iraq and know how well that is working, yet you reported it was the surge? Why aren''t you telling the public about the bribe?

I was amazed to hear 60 Minutes declare that the surge worked. I would expect this from the uninformed, but 60 Minutes should be aware of the fee being paid the Sons of Iraq NOT TO SHOOT AT OUR SOLDIERS. So, is it the surge or the $300 per month per Son of IraQ not to shoot at our boys?

McSame is up to his best tricks again...blaming game.
He is always blaming someone else for the country''s problems, when he should fess up and take the blame on his party, and his cronies.

McCain blames Wall Street? Flipped again, on Friday it was Obamas fault. Give him a mirror and he could argue with himself all day.....

On second thought ~ aren''t ponzi schemes illegal?
I read his answer again, it sounds like one of his off the cuff remarks???????

It''s basically a Ponzi scheme, as you know,

If you notice McCain used this phrase to change the subject from the real offenders in this mess. He really doesn''t want anyone connected with Wall Street blamed, now does he? The campaign would really like to find some reason to blame Obama for the meltdown. He already is accusing him of not offering the first solution that popped into his head, like he did.

"But we''ve gotta fix the average citizen who''s the innocent bystander that is in danger of losing their pensions ".
He is a Bush Republican ~ when McCain tells the average American citizen who owns 1 house and maybe 2 cars, that we gotta fix them, he is copping one of Bush''s lines. Hate to tell him but Bush has already "fixed" them.

The Republicans act like a bunch of drunken sailors on a spree and blame Wall Street for playing follow the leader.

I lost respect for McCain when he radically flipped positions on many long-held views to become more electable. But I was not prepared for the McCain I saw on "60 Minutes." He seemed so old -- doddering and befuddled. I felt sad.

No idea who this person is, but definitely has an obsession with genitals. In 3 yr olds, its called potty mouth.

My, My, My...
First McCain blamed Obama, NOW he blames Wall Street-and-the Republican administration!

He''s ALWAYS BEEN against oversight/regulation...

McCain is doing his pandering again when he is suggesting Cuomo as SEC chairman. McCain gets more difficult to believe the more often he panders for votes.

McCain Blames Recession On Wall St.
Candidate Says Deregulation Spurred Economic Growth, Didn''t Cause Collapse
**************************************

It is comments like this that prove beyond any reasonable doubt that John McCain knows next to nothing about the economy and how it works and knows less about Wall Street. We can not afford a president that tells us a weed ago today that the economic fundamentals are fine, and has changed his mind three times on a solution in that same last week.
