[Eric Blair 2084]

McCain’s weak response to this is starting to drive me crazy. He should be calling for Congress to investigate rather than trying to be bi-partisan.

In fairness to McCentrist, he is trying to win votes and this is an issue that leaves 95% of the population confused and befuddled.

It's much easier to pander to folks who bought a house they couldn't afford and are now facing payments they can't make in order to to get their vote.

A principled leader would take the time to explain it to them ... both pro's and cons. I'm not running for anything, neither are the 100's of financial journalists who are trying to explain what happened here.

Yeah, but innocent Americans should not be forced to bail out those who took out mortgates that they can't afford. I'm sorry that they're getting foreclosed on, but it's my money (and the money of other responsible people) that will go to these homeowners who bought too much house with their money.

I realize that a lot of Americans just don't understand this situation. That doesn't excuse the blatant pandering with our tax money, however.
