"Want to know what a real leader, a reassuring, hopeful leader sounds like in the face of potential panic? He sounds like this:
Obama told voters at a campaign event in Denver, Colorado, that it's important to "stay calm, because things are never smooth in Congress."
"There are going to be some bumps and trials and tribulations and ups and downs before we get this rescue package done," he said. "I'm confident that we are going to get there, but it's going to be a little rocky."
Want to know what a bitter, cranky, washed up loser sounds like in the face of a potential panic? He sounds like this (from the McCain camp):
"From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Sens. Obama and [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others.
"Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families," Doug Holtz-Eakin, a senior policy adviser for McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said in a statement.
"Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain and refused to even say if he supported the final bill. ... This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country," he said.
Reading this, I actually began to shake a bit from rage. Maybe it was too much caffeine. But McCain is such a tremendous asshole of the highest caliber, I can barely process it."
- There is so much evidence already in the media to contradict that (R) view. No spin will help them here.MrOneHundred
