It doesn’t matter. Talking on the phone last night to my Mom, a Democrat, and she says that McCain caused the Fannie/Freddie collapse.
I give up.
May the Cinco De Mayo Memo Sink Obama.
OK, 0 let’s see YOUR letter. Silence and crickets.......
That’s what I thought. I can’t believe he said he wrote a letter to Bernanke. Has anybody thought to ask him about that? If you felt so strongly about it, why didn’t you throw in with Mac when he introduced legislation to that effect? Hmmmmm?

Where was the McCain campaign with this 3 weeks ago?
Rank incompetence.
It’s too late, McCain has ceded the economy as an issue to 0bama.
He let Republicans twist in the wind and take the blame for nearly 4 weeks without as much as a rebuttal.
It’s too late for a course correction for McCain now.
And he has undermined his own shifting strategy every step of the way.
He’s turned out to be the worst Republican candidate in over a generation.
He’s missed every opportunity to make 0bama’s glaring weaknesses relevant. He’s missed every opportunity to expose 0bama’s policies and agenda for the radical socialism that it is. He’s failed to call 0bama a ‘socialist’, he’s failed to expose his DSA/New Party connections. he’s failed to call 0bama’s “95% tax cut” what it is: WELFARE.
And McCain has missed every opportunity to highlight his own leadership, experience, and independence.
He’s missed every opportunity to frame this economic crisis as being the result of the Democrat’s stubborn partisan agenda, he’s failed to name names and give the American people some Straight Talk on just who got us into this mess and how, and he’s failed to provide an American solution for getting out of it. He’s failed, and now, because of this, American freedom is about to fail.
So this is “Breaking News” posted by you and John McCain didn’t mention this in the debate, somebody is retarded. Either you or John McCain.
I’m going to sleep. Tell me which one of you is retarded tomorrow morning.
"I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole."
John McCain, Senate Floor, 5/25/2006
from govtrack: "S.190 was introduced by the Republicans co-sponsored by Senator McCain. The committee was made up of 11 Republicans and 9 Democrats. All Republican members supported the bill. All Democrat members opposed. On this vote, an amended version of the bill passed in the committee. The party line vote in the committee signaled that the bill would not receive enough support in the Senate for a vote. The bill was never placed on the floor for a vote."
