McCAIN BLAMES OBAMA FOR BAILOUT FAILURE: HE MADE ME DEBATE INSTEAD OF SOLVE CRISIS
By R J Shulman
GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado – (PTSD News) Senator John McCain blasted Barack Obama today, charging that this rival is personally responsible for the failure of the House to pass the historic financial bailout package. “My friends,” McCain told a small gathering in this western Colorado city, “Obama doesn’t know the difference between bailing out and rescuing Wall Street. Even worse, he says he would sit down without preconditions and talk with those people who took out bad loans to try and solve the problem. He just doesn’t understand that you can’t talk to domestic terrorists.”

McCain said he would have finished solving the economic crisis if Obama hadn’t forced him to debate in Mississippi last Friday. “Obama is putting his political ambitions first, not America first, like I am. Obama would rather lose the American economy than lose the election.”

House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio blamed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. “She said some bad words about us,” Boehner told Sean Hannity of Fox, “so we took our votes and went home. If she doesn’t apologize to us, we will hold our breath until we turn blue, well, actually red as we are Republicans.”

President Bush did not limit his criticism to Obama or Pelosi. “I point my finger of fate squarely in the face of everybody. Everybody is whining about fixing Wall Street or helping Main Street. What about Pennsylvania Avenue? I need Congress to fixicate this mess because I need back my political capital that got loaned out to a couple of bad wars that didn’t pay off.”
