JMack And Financial Crisis: What Leaders Are Saying
Mr. McCain goes to Washington wearing his economics superhero costume–Wasn’t it just last week or was it earlier this week the guy said he’d not read a three page proposal to save Wall Street? Now that the proposal has grown to more than forty pages and the deal is almost sealed he wants to help? This help is coming from a dude who admits his knowledge of economics is not his strong suit. He even announces suspension of his campaign and calls for delay of Friday’s scheduled presidential debate with rival Senator Barack Obama, as well as postponement of the vice presidential debates. Could it be that good old John McCain is not being honest with us about his reasons for these odd decisions?
Time Magazine columnist Joe Klein denounces JMack’s recent actions by naming them— ”Gimmicks ‘R’ Us”.
Here’s what other prominent people in Washington and elsewhere have to say about McCain’s intervening at this time during the nation’s serious fiscal problems.Senator Barack Obama, Democratic Party candidate for president–McCain’s opponent : “Presidents Are Going To Have To Deal With More Than One Thing At A Time.”
Senior Senator from New York, Democrat Chuck Schumer, and Senator Chris Dodd Democrat from Connecticut Chair of the Senate Finance Committee:
“…We Have Heard Nothing From Senator McCain On These Critical Issues. Now Is Certainly Not The Time For Him To Inject Presidential Politics Into These Delicate Discussions.”
Majority leader, Democrat Senior Senator Harry Reid of Nevada said McCain Returning To DC “Would Not Be Helpful”.
Congressional Representative, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank:
“It’s The Longest Hail Mary Pass In The History Of Either Football Or Marys”. Frank went on to say, “All of a sudden, now that we’re on the verge of making a deal, John McCain drops himself in to make a deal. I really worry about this politicization of it.”
Congressman Frank’s reaction to President Bush’s invitation to the leadership charged with resolving this financial debacle to meet at the White with Senator McCain and Senator Obama:
“Frankly, we’re going to have to interrupt a negotiating session tomorrow between the Democrats and Republicans on a bill, where I think we’re getting pretty close, and troop down to the White House for their photo-op, and then come back and get on to it.
We’re trying to rescue the economy, not the McCain campaign.â€
