INDECISION #1: Barack Obama “Would Not Say If He Supported Or Opposed” The AIG Bailout...

Yesterday, The Most Important Issue Of The Day Was The AIG Bailout And Barack Obama “Would Not Say If He Supported Or Opposed The Government-Backed Rescue Of Insurance Giant AIG.” Fox News’ Brit Hume: “The Democrat is not coming down one way or another on the AIG rescue. Correspondent Major Garrett explains why.” Fox News’ Major Garrett: “On the biggest financial issue of the day, Barack Obama would not say if he supported or opposed the government-backed rescue of insurance giant AIG.” Barack Obama: “We don’t know all the details of the arrangement with AIG and the Federal Reserve must ensure that plans protect the families that count on insurance.” Garrett: “Obama also wants taxpayers protected but executives and shareholders exposed but on the central question to intervene or not, Obama sidestepped. Advisers said lack of details forced caution. The larger political truth; adv isors believe anxiety alone is enough to lift Obama in the polls. That is why on the trail, Obama doesn’t talk about specifics of the moment but the nation’s overall direction.” (Fox News’ “Special Report,” 9/17/08)

If that’s the statement (which btw contains nothing from the McCain campaign at all), we’re doomed.

I assume that there is more. I know he spoke up on it yesterday, but we’re talking about a campaign that was firing on all cylinders last week and has basically shut the engine off this week.

Obama’s “Advisors” RAN Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac! They are the ones, along with a few others, that CAUSED this whole debacle. Thats who is giving Obama his direction. That alone is ABHORRENT! If nothing else, it tells us that with Obama we can expect more of the same.
