From Team McCain....
To Interested Parties:
To address our current financial crisis, John McCain suspended his campaign and returned to Washington, D.C., today to help build a bipartisan consensus for a proposal that would protect the American taxpayer.
Despite today's news reports, there never existed a "deal," but merely a proposal offered by a small, select group of Members of Congress. As of right now, there exists only a series of principles, including greater oversight and measures to address CEO pay. However, these principles do not enjoy a consensus in Congress.
At today's cabinet meeting, John McCain did not attack any proposal or endorse any plan. John McCain simply urged that for any proposal to enjoy the confidence of the American people, stressing that all sides would have to cooperate and build a bipartisan consensus for a solution that protects taxpayers.
However, the Democrats allowed Senator Obama to run their side of the meeting. That did not work as the meeting quickly devolved into a contentious shouting match that did not seek to craft a bipartisan solution.
At this moment, the plan that has been put forth by the Administration does not enjoy the confidence of the American people as it will not protect that taxpayers and will sacrifice Main Street in favor of Wall Street.
The bottom line is that as of tonight, there are not enough Republican or Democrat votes for the current plan. However, we are still optimistic that a bipartisan solution will be found. Republicans and Democrats want a deal that will protect the taxpayers.
Tomorrow, John McCain will return to Capitol Hill where he will work with all sides to build a bipartisan solution that protects taxpayers and keeps Americans in their homes.
It would be more effective IF they had a tape of the BIG0 screaming.
So... no debate after all. Good. I want McCain well rested for his first debate. I want Obama to discover he has fleas in his skivvies after the debate begins.
He’s not the one we’ve been waiting for
If O was the Messiah, he could create 700billion out of a basket of discarded CDOs...
What a party that’d be..
Even better ... Obi-none shouting would make a great radio ad.
First, thanks for the post. A most interesting write up.
Please forgive me for being inquisitive, but is there a way to be more specific about where this came from. Is there a source? How did we get this from Team McCain? I trust, but verify...
Thanks much!
I am on a media distribution list...It is an email I received from the campaign.
I just love it...
“We’re going to fix the problem. We’re going to limit executive compensation... Now give up nearly a trillion dollars, and everything will be hunky-dory!”
They claim that we need “oversight.” They’re right. The people who WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDING THAT OVERSIGHT is CONGRESS! So the people who tell us they’re going to fix the problem, if we only give them a bunch of money, are the same people who not only allowed, but actively encouraged the problem in the first place!
Damn! I’m so angry there’s smoke coming out of my ears! And I haven’t smoked in about 25 years!

This would explain why Dingy Harry kept saying how calm Obama was during the meeting, which seemed like an odd thing to stress until you hear this.
Any ash trays thrown?
NO MONEY FOR ACORN!!!
Hey McCain Camp.....IF what Lindsay Graham said is true, that the CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, ACORN was going to get a chunk of this money, then SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS and EXPLAIN WHAT ACORN is .....A VOTE FRAUD ENTERPRISE!
Obama knows he is being thrown off message big time. He can feel the voters slipping away.
I was sort of hoping the debate would be held. McCain can hold his own on foreign policy without much breifing. Obama, on the other hand, needs a cram session. Having to go to Washington and do his REAL job took away from his study time.
BUMPO
Maybe they do. :)
Thanks much! I greatly appreciate that you have shared this. You are a great American!
HA...thanks!
