What did John McCain propose? Let's jump to the end of this argument..... you'll mention McCain's housing proposal and try to defend it. We'll go round and round until you finally admit that as a conservative you really don't like it either because it amounts to a bailout. I just watched BOTH of their speeches today. The ENTIRE speech. Barack Obama, was up there detailing and rattling off his exact proposals for 80% of the speech. John McCain, went off onto to 2 spiels that took up 80% of his speech: 1) He kept chanting, I have a plan to boost the economy. I have a plan to provide more jobs, I have plan to help out the middle class..... And on and on and on.... Here's my problem with that. If he is so damn emotional and ready to do whatever it takes to help the America (You know, America First and all) then why the hell doesn't he share these mysterious plans with the Whitehouse NOW? Oh yeah that's right. It's because he's blowing smoke up your ass.... after a week of doing nothing but attacking Obama. 2) Instead of using the rest of his speech to say what he will do he literally (this is no exaggeration watch for yourself!) went on another spiel saying how he would basically do the opposite of everything that Obama says he will do. No bullshit I counted him saying "not like Obama says he will do" 14 times before I got bored with counting. So that's his plan? Just that he'll do the opposite of whatever Obama says he will do? Guess that's what happens when you put up a candidate who got C's in the Naval Academy up against a Harvard educated presidential candidate.
P.S. Let's not forget his delightfully funny comments during the debate where he said he KNOWS how to catch Bin Laden. He KNOWS what to do..... Really Senator? And you're not sharing that because.....? Election.... err... I mean Country First?
It's all talk, blah,blah,blah,blah First Obama is going to eliminate tax breaks, then close loopholes, now wait.....wait....wait, flip-flop ,now give tax for anyone that creates a job.....sounds like the trickle down to anyone? ahhhh Obama here is your free pass from the sheep. That one is an idiot.
I don't see what good a 90 day moratorium would do. I don't think it will help the financial markets since what they need is liquidity and fast. And it probably won't help a lot of regular people since things will probably be worse in three months economically than they are now. Or am I missing something?
I have often said Obama is not smart but I would not want to insult the mentally retarded by calling Obama retarded.
