McCain criticizes Obama for lack of leadership

Republican presidential nominee John McCain told an audience Sunday that Barack Obama behaved more like a politician than a leader, both on matters of national security and on last week's near-meltdown of the U.S. financial system.

Addressing a meeting of the National Guard Association, McCain faulted Obama for not offering a plan to stabilize financial markets after a crisis in the mortgage industry led to the collapse of two investment banks and the government bailout of housing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and insurance giant AIG.

"At a time of crisis, when leadership is needed, Senator Obama has not provided it," McCain said.

"McCain criticizes Obama for lack of leadership."

For all of you skeptics out there, McCain has it all wrong, Obama is the true leader in this matter!

Obama is uh, uh, waiting for the uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, to, uh, hear uh, what uh, uh, the will of the , you know, uh, uh, uh, people uh, is.

Once the poles come in and once his 100 advisers do their advising, he will make his informed decision on what needs to be done.

He is a true leader.

NOT

Three years into an Obama administration, with double-digit interest rates and inflation up the wazoo, will it still be the “George Bush economy”?

Dang! Called that one too - yesterday or Friday IIRC.

Said McCain needed to start hammering away at the “leadereship” issue. Sarah hammered on the same issue today.

Hey McCain camp! If you’re going to take my ideas, why don’t you bring me on board and PAY me!

McCain is right! Obama is NOT a leader, in any way, shape, or form.

McCain is right! Obama is not qualified to be leader of the United States. He is a good actor at best. I say we let him play the next president on ‘24’.

I think deep down he is scared to death to lead. He has no confidence in himself. He rose to the top too quickly and he knows it.

If elected, the balloon brain won't be running anything anyway, Pelosi and Reid will be the power in D.C.
