"Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae's regulator reported that the company's quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were "illusions deliberately and systematically created" by the company's senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal." - John McCain

It’s been all over the net this weekend- he’s talked about it in his speeches beginning Friday.
He’s not emphasizing it enough, in my view- but he’s talking about it.
The one place he WON’T go- is to lay repsonsibility at the feet of the Dems who got this whole mess started.
Wouldn’t be “bipartisan” enough, I guess..

The one place he WONT go- is to lay repsonsibility at the feet of the Dems who got this whole mess started. When one politician says something bad about another, there are a number of ways voters may react. Among them:
- The voter may decide he disfavors the target of the statement, without regard for the veracity thereof.
- The voter may decide he disfavors the person who makes the statement, without regard for the veracity thereof.
- The voter may decide he likes neither the speaker nor the target of the statement, regardless of the veracity thereof.
- The voter may actually evaluate the statement and make judgments based upon its veracity or lack thereof.
A lot of voters belong to types #2 and #3. Negative statements about one's opponents will not win their votes. To win those voters, it is sometimes necessary to put them in a situation where they will stumble upon the truth themselves.
