Let me put in another way, if I were in his position and I believed what he says he believes then I would do the EXACT same thing which is ANYTHING I could to remedy the situation even if it got me no where. End of story.
Nothing is what McCain can do about it. He'll just sit in a meeting somewhere and nod his head. He's even admitted outright that he isn't a financial guy and that' why he brought in, wait for it, PHILL GRAHAM as his economic adviser..
Anyone care to guess who Phill Graham is?? You guessed it, the same guy that pushed congress to repeal the regulations that got us all into this mess in the first place!!!!!
McCain has nothing to offer to this criss...and neither does Obama. So get back to the campaign and let the people that know what they are doing figure it out.

Originally posted by CliffLandinThey both know that, but whodey is pretending otherwise because he is a dishonest, partisan shill. One can only imagine what he would be saying if Obama had done the exact same thing.
You both have really got to be kidding. What exactly do you expect McCain to do? He is the first to say that he doesn't know anything about the economy. Is he going to figure it out in 2 days? More realistically, and you should both be smart enough to understand this, he doesn't want to get called out on national t.v. for backing more deregulation.

Originally posted by whodeyAnd he figured that out since last week when he said the economy was strong???? LMFAO!!!!
What leadership?
McCain estimates that if NO plan is implemented that the financial consequence for doing nothing will be catastrophic. Now lets step back and watch as the Dems politicize the situation and do NOTHING and see if he was right. Of course, it is not the POPULAR position to take because people cannot fathom having to bail out "rich folk" in ...[text shortened]... g thing to do currently.
BTW: You may all want to have some cash on hand just in case. 😉
You and McCain are really a joke. His hysterical grandstanding and "I'll hold my breath till I true blue if I don't get my way" shows he is temperamentally unsuited to to be President.
Originally posted by no1marauderTouche. I, however, stand by part of my previous statement. The part where I said it was a good move.

Originally posted by PocketKingsAt the end of the day too many cooks would spoil the broth and announcing a suspension of his campaing to go to Washington to make this bill pass is nothing but cycnical poiticking of the highest order. McCain knows like everyone else does that this bill must pass, so he takes a maverick pose and charges in on his white knight and then tries to take credit for getting a bill passed that will be passed anyway. Much like Sara Palin who wants to take credit for stopping a bridge getting built that had already been stopped by the process and still grabbing the earmarked loot, John McCain is swooping in to try and take credit for a situation that is already sorted. The only trouble is a lot of people are going to fall for this bs.
I agree, I like the move. Obie, can say all the stupid one-liners he wants. McCain is doing the right thing and I believe that he really believes that. Obie has no choice but to play tag-along now.
Is this what America wants in its no1 and 2? From saying "thanks but no thanks" and now talking up congress to "do it for the greater good" on a done deal, is the height of naked ambition of a team who are so arrogant as to assume that they can treat the intelligence of the general public with utter contempt.
Originally posted by uzlessHe will get together with Congressmen from his own party and try to get it through their thick skulls that something needs to be done to avert a financial collapse. As for Congressmen in the opposing party, perhaps he can sway a few there as well, however, the bad thing here is it is an election year, therefore, they probably would be obligated along party lines to ensure that his efforts are not successful.

Originally posted by whodeyWhen you work out that you don't get to Washington until they know where your skeletons are buried, you also work out that when a move really has to happen, a whole bunch of bones rattling in closets everywhere is all the coercion necescary for those unwilling to come onside. Given that that's a given then what McCain is really trying to do is paint himself into the picture as the hero that saved the day. Its not that he has division in his party, its that they are presenting a picture of division for him to heal. Stage managed codswollop. The bill will pass regardless of McCains posturing. In fact all he is demonstrating is that he does not recognise when he is making a spectacle of himself and being a right show pony.
We will see who doesn't know what they are talking about once the Dems refuse to pass legislation to remedy the situation.

Originally posted by randolphCapitalism?

Really, it is just government cleaning up after their own mess if you ask me in many respects.
Aren't you supposed to be a capitalist? I'm not really a fan, but if it has to be done, it should at least be done correctly. No government bailouts.
