Barack Obama, speaking in Dayton, Ohio, slams McCain's latest mortgage proposal for helping only the banks and punishing taxpayers.
Obama tells the crowd that we cannot afford McCain's "erratic and uncertain leadership in these uncertain times."
"Now, this is just the latest in a series of shifting positions that Senator McCain has taken on this issue. His first response to this crisis in March was that homeowners shouldn't get any help at all. Then, a few weeks ago, he put out a plan that basically ignored homeowners. And now, in the course of 12 hours, he's ended up with a plan that punishes taxpayers, rewards banks, and won't solve our housing crisis.
Well, I don't think we can afford that kind of erratic and uncertain leadership in these uncertain times. We need steady leadership in the White House. We need a President we can trust in times of crisis. And that's the kind of President I intend to be."
