| McCain responds to the Streisand fundraiser |
| 2008-09-17 |
| Vienna, Ohio (north of Youngstown), yesterday afternoon: Now I believe AmericaÂ’s best days are ahead of us. Governor Palin and I are going to reform Wall Street. WeÂ’re going to reform Washington. IÂ’m going to fight for you and IÂ’m going to lead our nation forward in the greatest periods of prosperity in its history. And letÂ’s have some straight talk. Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope, heÂ’s interested in his political future and thatÂ’s why heÂ’s hurling in insults and making up facts about his record. Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. ThatÂ’s news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didnÂ’t 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 MaeÂ’s CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President. ThatÂ’s not change, thatÂ’s whatÂ’s 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 IÂ’d rather be, than here, with the working men and women of Ohio. IÂ’m going to fight for you and together weÂ’re going to win in November. McCain also recorded this response to Babs some time ago. |
