Here we go. Obama is saying that John McCain cannot take credit for helping in the bailout, but he can. Obama has stated he has been on the phone with Treasury Secretary Paulson and Senators everyday since this crisis began. He also states that he has been pushing what he wanted for provisions since the begining.
Here is how I have seen it on the news.
- The week of the AIG colloapse and bailout, stocks rose again befor breaking even that weekend. But with the violatitlity of the market that week the fed's thought something must be done, Paulson pitched his plan.
- McCain make his fundamentals of the economy comment
- McCain then gives his proposal on how he would wnat this bailout to be
- Obama makes speech regarding what he wants to do. Gives no specifics saying he doesn't want to interfere in the process and muddle it up.
- Obama then comes out with a proposal that sounds similarlly like McCains. But no one seems to notice. How convenient.
- McCain heads for Washington on his own accord, followed by Obama at President Bush's request. Remember Obama stated call me if you need me.
- Obama runs his mouth while in White House meeting. McCain says very little exept to say no one has included House Republicans and they need to be heard.
- Debate goes on Friday night.
- McCain returns to Washington immediatley after debate. Obama back on the trail.
- While campaigining Obama continues to say he is in constant touch with all concerned parties. McCain only canidate in Washington continuing to work on bailout, even though he is behind the scenes, he was still helping House Republicans.
- Congress comes out today with a statement that a proposal has been agreed on.
- Obama says he did it. Not John McCain.
So my question is if Obama has spent the last two days campaigning and not in Washington, how can you take credit forthe bailouit? Second how can principles that were laid out before yours Obama, be yours. If you have done what you say you've had publish you phone records to sohw all these calls. Have your democrat buddies come out and say so. Actions speak louder than words McCain took action, Obama, you spewed words.
