Vienna, Ohio (north of Youngstown), yesterday afternoon:
Now I believe Americas best days are ahead of us. Governor Palin and I are going to reform Wall Street. Were going to reform Washington. Im going to fight for you and Im going to lead our nation forward in the greatest periods of prosperity in its history. And lets have some straight talk. Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope, hes interested in his political future and thats why hes hurling in insults and making up facts about his record. Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. Thats news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didnt even show up to vote. He talks a tough game on the financial crisis, but the facts tell a different story. Senator Obama took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than anyone but the chairman of the committee they answer to. And he put Fannie Maes CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President. Thats not change, thats whats broken in Washington. He talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you, my friends, there is no place Id rather be, than here, with the working men and women of Ohio. Im going to fight for you and together were going to win in November.
McCain also recorded this response to Babs some time ago.
