All of us can agree that John McCain's immediate response to the Subprime Mortgage Credit Crunch Bailout Rescue Crisis was one of the most damned bizarre things we've ever seen in politics. Many of us were left scratching our heads, saying WTF?, and laughing at our good fortune to be running against one of the worst managed political campaigns since Mondale in '84 (no disrespect meant to Mondale, but he muffed it).

Amidst the "suspension" of McCain's campaign, him rushing to D.C. to nuke a bi-partisan bail out bill, and then taking credit for the final deal a couple of key points got lost in the shuffle.

1) Among the changes he thought were so important to make to the original plan were corporate tax breaks and more deregulation.

2) He didn't mind bailing out Wall Street when it came time, but was one of only 16 senators who didn't vote for the 300 Billion dollar homeowner rescue bill in July 2008 (Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. H.R. 3221)

3) Eleven of the Top 20 contributors to McCain in 2008 are banks and investment firms.

McCain doesn't seem to care as much about the foreclosures as he does about it's impact on Wall Street. Notice how he kept on stating and restating how "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" while millions of Americans were being thrown out of their homes, but only rushed back to work when the crisis overwhelmed corporate America?

Who exactly does John McCain work for? The "nation of whiners" or the corporate contributors to his campaign?

Take a look at the video I edited together about this question and let me know what you think. Am I being too hard on McCain? Or do you think he sincerely believes that corporate tax breaks and more deregulation of the financial industry will help average Americans?

7. Thanks.

Feel free to pass the video around or re-post wherever else you blog. People need to know that John McCain is just a common crook.

4. great vid and I think yo got it right.....

McCain isn't out of touch, he is out of time.
He sees the poor and middle class struggling, he just doesn't care.
Just like he didn't care about the Katrina victims.

6. That's strange to me.

I guess some people are just malicious at their core. I can't imagine having the power to really change things, but going for the extra cash instead.

Does power breed this kind of apathy, or do you think McCain was apathetic to start with?

9. This sums up John McCains plan for the future economics for us!

Great Video! Sad! Nevertheless it tells it like it is, and this is EXACTLY why the focus is to hate Obama!
This is their continued economic plan to TRICKLE DOWN THEORY that DOES NOT work for most!

12. 30 years of trickle down...

... have been a disaster. People have been living off of credit cards to make up the difference in declining wages. If the credit market fully collapses there's going to be real trouble.

10. Nice ...................

My mother told me if I couldn't say something ........... yada,yada,yada.

So, I will be nice. McCain is a clueless old fool suffering from an advanced
case of dementia. Next step - senility.

It is time to treat McCain like the alzheimers-ridden relative one visits
in the nursing home sometimes out of a sense of duty. You won't be recognized,
nothing about you will be remembered, no emotion will be stirred, unless by
you. As much as might want to try to slap some sense into him, it wouldn't do
any good. As soon as the nurse comes in, get up quickly and walk out. No
"goodbye, Grandpa", no "I love you, Grandpa", nothing. Just leave.

Grandpa has already moved on.

Trust me on this, my fellow prisoners, I know how to win wars, wait, know how
to find Bin Laden, doggone it, know how to fix the problem with Wall St.,
hmmmmmmm ......., I know what to do with this guy.

You are not being too hard on him. Again, he is clueless.

14. I see method to his madness

Sure, he's a senile old man, and yet he somehow has managed to stay consistent and faithful to his corporate masters in the middle of his mental breakdown. You gotta give him that.
