here’s the thing guys
GET USED TO IT IT WILL PASS, WE DONT HAVE THE MAJORITY
now that it does passes (w/ some things such as ACORN help cut off), it will allow mccain to attack the dems w/o looking partisan AND it will stop the panic 24/7 news cycle of the last 2 weeks that had obama surging
Problem is: WILL McCain attack them?
And, even if he does, will he pound home the real cause of the crisis? People still don't understand how Fannie/Freddie led to this crisis. They attribute it to Wall Street "greed".
But, banks made these sub-prime loans because F/F were standing right behind them saying:
"Go ahead with that risky minority loan. We'll buy it from you immediately. You'll have your capital back. You can keep the high transaction fees...and we won't accuse you of racism!".Or will McCain continue to simply attack earmarks? He says as president he'll "name names and make them famous". Will he do that in this case? Chris Dodd? Obama's F/F campaign contributions? How many will McCain name? We'll see.
