McCain’s Monday Remarks in Albuquerque

All: Please see excerpt from John McCain’s remarks as prepared for delivery today in Albuquerque, New Mexico:

My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago that he would quote — “take off the gloves.” Since then, whenever I have questioned his policies or his record, he has called me a liar.

Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms I know. I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.

My opponent’s touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who’s already authored two memoirs, he’s not exactly an open book. It’s as if somehow the usual rules don’t apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that. Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there’s always a back story with Senator Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America? In short: Who is the real Barack Obama? But ask such questions and all you get in response is another barrage of angry insults.

Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?

This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.

Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.

Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, “a good idea.” Well, Senator Obama, that “good idea” has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

To hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them. Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans? Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn’t he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won’t tell you, but you deserve an answer.

…

Who is the real Senator Obama? Is he the candidate who promises to cut middle class taxes, or the politician who voted to raise middle class taxes? Is he the candidate who talks about regulation or the politician who took money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and turned a blind eye as they ran our economy into a ditch?

Is he the candidate who promises change, or is he the politician who has bought into everything that is wrong with Washington? We can’t change the system with someone who’s never fought the system.

And get the fuck off my lawn, Barack!

1. "In closing, I'd like to thank my New Mexico staffers

for understanding about not getting their last paychecks". :rofl:

[CJCRANE]

2. It's the usual Rovian projection.

No one believes him any more after his "fundamentals of the economy are strong" flip-flop.

[beac]

3. Wow-- that's a STUNNING amount of projection.

McInsane is literally taking all his OWN failings and trying to pin them to Obama.

Crazy.

[Shine]

4. Sorry, not this time, Johnny. Nobody's buyin' your bullshit anymore.

:thumbsdown:

[tulsakatz]

5. I think McCain is confused........

...because it is usually McCain who wants to create distractions and not answer questions!!

And if he wants to know more about Obama, maybe he should subscribe to dish network. He can hear about Obama 24 hrs per day, 7 days a week!!!

[msallied]

6. Wait. John McCain IS alive??? Phew!

The way it's been talked about on the board, the guy is laid up in a hospice ward. lol I'm glad to at least see him talking this bullshit. That means he will be at tomorrow's debate.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. McLame is channeling his inner Obama?

Bizarro world! :rofl:

Actually, I guess it's not funny any more. The man is mentally ill.

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. Meltdown........ Somebody needs to put the curbs on now and

adjust his medication. He will be the angry Meltdown McCain tomorrow.

[central scrutinizer]

9. McW has fought the system

There was a system of checks and balances and regulatory oversight. McW successfully brought that system to its knees and can now claim credit for the wonderful way the unfettered invisible hand of the market is giving all of us the unfettered, invisible finger.
