Let's go Mc-Cain! :-)
i have no idea what mccain just said, my friends
Tear up the mortgage docs, McCain will renegotiate everything?
That's not free market dogma....
YES! McCain is linking Freddie and Fannie to the Dems. Keep it up!
Nice explanation of the package by Obama.
bravo barack! mccain is such a goof
the fannie/freddie link works best when it's entirely true. Which, it's not.
Obama is in charge here, McCain is just a whiny old man. Image is everything, delivery is everthing, composure is everything, a commanding voice is everything. None of this is going McCain's way
Finally hear about Fannie and Freddie. When are we gonna hear about Rezco, Ayers and Wright?
But it would have been better for us had McCain taken his party on when it comes to regulation, the structuring of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, and more
Enough with the earmarks ... nobody cares.
My predicition is it will hardly come up, Nick
Didn't Obama just say seconds ago that he's raising more money than he's spending? McCain's attack is weerd. Talking points, I guess.
I care about earmarks. The fed just spent more than $800 billion on the rescue plan. How in the world will Obama still afford all his entitlement programs on top of that?
McCain - stumble, bumble, fumble...i love it
He'll find more money by ending the Bush tax cuts. Raise more money from the top 5%. After all, it's clear that supply-side didn't work.
OB's tax policy makes sense. Give money to middle class, and they'll spend it. The rich will have to compete for the money through their businesses, etc. It might take a couple of quarters, but the money will recirculate through the system faster.
Why is Obama making a bizarre 9/11 reference?
Obama's solution to taking us out of the worst recession in decades: raise taxes and take $80 billion in liquidity out of the economy. I simply don't get it ..
No one has yet to tell us whether or not the oil companies have done the exploration to rule out the 68 million acres of unexplored land. Interesting omission
Raise taxes on the top 5%, not the other 95%. there's a distinction.
He made the 9/11 reference because Bush DID blow an opportunity to wean us off foreign oil. He could have mandated alternative fuels at that time, and we would have gone after it like a dog to meat.
Nice line on taxes.
Tear him apart on the small business tax affect OB....
What if I'm single?
You're taxing me on that $5k for health care as ordinary income.
