Comments on: McCain, Obama On Bailout Failure

McCain Blames Unnecessary Partisanship For Congress' Failed Attempt At A Rescue Plan; Obama Says Bailout Will Come

[usnretired2]

Both candidates are telling the people they know how to fix the the problem,why aren''t they in Washington doing the job we the tax payers are paying for. For the last 18 months they have been drawing senators pay while the spend their time campaiging. ITS YOUR MONEY.

I''m so attracted to Obama''s common sense and demeanor about things. It''s EXACTLY what we need now. I also want to say that I''m GLAD he has stayed out of the bailout debacle. He''s not a member of the House and shouldn''t try to sway members. They don''t represent Obama and they SHOULD listen to their constituents. I think it really shows that Obama cares about what the people want-not trying to wrest members because it''s an election year. McCain looked like a d*mn fool and should have made Bush do HIS job. They are both losers.

Iraq, McCain''s 100 year "Earmark"

[banders6]

You got to love CBS to spin the problem toward McCain. But who has the most to gain, of course the empty suit wants the bail out. His financial inner circle caused the problem, and they are standing to loose millions. James Johnson was head of Freddy Mack for 7 years and took millions, and was head of Barack%u2019s VP search team, Franklin Reigns was head of Freddy Mack for 5 years and took $90 million out of it, Jamie Gerlin took $26 million from Fanny Mae, Barack got $126K, democom Dodd got millions, these are all Baracks financial inner circle advisors that could be running this country. Vote for Barack for change, he will change your hard earned money into his and his inner circles money, remember he has been schooled by the corrupt Chicago Daily machine. And for you trolls these are not lies, these are fact.

Phil Gramm is right - people from Iowa are a bunch of whiners - losers too, but that is another story.

Sept 20, 2007: Treasury secretary Paulson tells House Financial Services Committee that "fundamental reappraisals in the pricing and appetite of risk have taken place numerous times...We are in the process of another such reappraisal."

March 25, 2008: In speech on housing market, Sen. McCain calls for easing crisis by "removing regulatory, accounting, and tax impediments to raising capital."

May 6, 2008: Bush announces he will veto legislation directing $15 billion to neighborhoods ransacked by foreclosures. Also threatens to veto legislation to provide $300 billion for struggling homeowners (and force lenders to renegotiate some mortgages) because it would be a "burdensome bailout" that "opens taxpayers to too much risk."

Blunt Walks It Back: It Wasn''t Pelosi After All

Maybe it was Barney Frank''s mockery, or maybe it was just an impulsive decision to tell the truth, but Missouri Republican Roy Blunt, the lead House GOP bailout negotiator is backpedaling his claim from Monday that Nancy Pelosi''s floor speech turned had led to GOP defections.

[ioweign]

%u201CFrom the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others," Holtz-Eakin said in a statement. "Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families."

Phil Gramm was right - Republicans are a party of whiners...

Where is that "America First" ???

[sleepyric]

It''s obvious that some people bought into the republicans claim that a speech canned the bill. Rep Cantor from VA is just a junior version of Santorum of PA. Obvious idiot! Republicans sunk the bill because they''re putting their re-election chances ahead of the country. Plain and simple. They are afraid they won''t get their cushy offices again. Meanwhile, we little people watch our 401Ks and IRAs plumment into the abyss...@******* all republicans! You should be rounded up and put in a pen, and their party should be outlawed.

[stonerscum]

Pelsoi (or however you spell it) is not a good leader but her speech didn''t kill it. 12 republicans were not enough to pass it even if that is the reason they didn''t vote for it...which is kinda pathetic. but agree she needs to step down, give it to someone more diplomatic

[kazoodan]

Talking to reporters in Iowa, McCain said, ''Now is not the time to fix the blame, it''s time to fix the problem.''

What?

''I call on Congress to get back obviously immediately to address this crisis,'' he added. ''Our leaders are expected to leave partisanship at the door and come to the table to solve our problems. Senator Obama and his allies in Congress infused unnecessary partisanship into the process.''

WHAT? So what is it, John? Time to affix or Not time to affix blame?

And, by the way, partisanship IS left at the door; On the way OUT!

[stonerscum]

Eventually both parties will realise that if they doon''t we are in deep trouble. They will do something...eventually! Then we rebuild, again as we always do. begin building America into a 21st century superpower, time to forget the glorious past (but not the lessons from it) & look to the future! Then vote for the ticket you think will do that. I know my choice but I just hope that the people of this country, whoever they vote for, vote on this issues not the petty stuff that keeps coming up.

Acorn; Another radical left, CRIMINAL organization with Obamas fingerprints all over it. Can the mainstream media continue to cover for Obama? Or will this be the straw that breaks the camel jockeys back?

Ayers , Wright, Pfleger, Rezko, Davis, Acorn, CAC, most liberal voting record in the senate,,, just a coincidence? Give me a break, wake up America. Obama is Fraud personified.

[stonerscum]

jaxsterling5 he said he did cocaine at least he was honest about it, not like the "I did not inhale" ***. I''d say most of them did something in their youth, most politicians have criminal records least he doesn''t have that.

[stonerscum]

Donald Rumsfeld, don''t even talk about THAT man, he should be in jail for the *** he did. Didn''t no about the abuse in the prisons...like hell.

[whatajoke4]

I am so sick of the pointing finger game. Everyone wants to point the finger at this party or that party for the down fall of the economy. Face it the officials that we put into office, the ones that would rather pick an arguement instead of taking a stand in one direction or the other is no better than putting a 3 year old in office. For those who like to sit back and complain about what they are or are not doing, you either voted for them or could have voted to keep them out of office. I am also sick of this *** of blaming the president for all that is wrong. What is he the countries punching bag? You all forget your Government Classes, he can only do what the houses let him do!!!!!!!!! Further more, the democratic runner, how can you lead the military services when you have never been in the military? There is one to argue over instead of playing the blaming game!!!!!!!!

Republican leaders *Couldn''t* deliver

[stonerscum]

Both parties have responsiblity for this mess. Some say it started in 1999 some say it came later. The point is the repubicans controlled congress & the senate for a portion of the time & now the democrats do, neither party did anything to stop it they are both to blame. The reason the Democrats didn''t carry the vote themselves is cause they didn''t want to be totally blamed for the bill (especially if it bombs) thats why they were supposed to get 120-140 votes & the Republicans 70-90, then its across the board no single party could be tainted by an unpopular bill. Republican leaders could deliver the promiced votes then it tanked. Both sides were trying to cover their butts, that politics they want to be reelected, didn''t want to be part of a unpopular bill, but had to be seen to do something.

[armydog2]

mccain does not have a clue how to fix this problem, the house republicans got all p-issy and voted against it. Honestly I don''t know if this bailout is such a good thing. These fat cats will just get fatter if we feed them tax dollars.

[idnnsg]

First McCain said the economy is "fundamentally sound" and we were just a nation of "whiners".

Then McCain said the economy was in a severe crisis and he was going to suspend his campaign until it was fixed.

Then there was no fix, but McCain resumed his campaign anyway.

Then McCain took credit for making the deal that saved the economy and he blamed Obama for "just sitting on the sidelines".

Then McCain''s own party torpedoed the bailout because their feelings were hurt by a speech Pelosi made.

NOW McCain blames the democrats!

McCain is utterly in.sane!!!
