The Note: McCain Changes Mortgage Plan

It’s quite a flip-flop to go from “swallowing hard” to vote for the bailout to introducing another bailout plan that would place even more risks squarely on taxpayers. And isn’t this “big government spending”?
http://www.political-buzz.com/

I’m so sick and tired of John McCain’s SOCIALIST policies!

McCain/Palin’s low blow politics is an embarrassment to every democratic world citizen. Mean spirited republicans name calling, is just ugly. They are just not smart enough to articulate a positive message for the country. According to a statistical analysis 2/3′s of Obama’s ads are positive while McCain’s are 100% negative.

McCain and his campaign do not think things out. They react like gamblers. In this case the house wins again. This is not what our country needs.
How can he say, I’m going to do a mortgage bailout and a spending freeze in the same debate. It’s called pandering.

Here we go again…McCain release this at a debate and now goes back on it because it will cost his BIG buddies too much.
Ha…what a fake you are McCain!!!

Right on!! I could see that what McSame recommended would be another colossal error because he would be rewarding the same people who are getting off scott-free with the bailout, then buying the same bad mortgages at A HIGH PRICE, RE-SELLING them back at A LOW PRICE, and then again bailing them out with our hard-earned money. Meantime, these same folks would have made a huge profit from selling them high and re-purchasing them back low, then REWARDED AGAIN THROUGH ANOTHER BAILOUT!! Say no to McShame for his shameful actions.

Well, well, well, didn’t the great communicator Reagan say: “Government is the Problem”.
How is this McCain idea going over with all those “conservatives” whose whole life has been based on making government smaller.
It must be that Palinocchio and her pea-brained miscreant followers are so focused on hate and bigotry that they are not paying attention to what their candidate is saying.
It is not government BUT this ADM. and the GOP… THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
INTELLIGENT citizens will never allow four more years of the same ineptitude
and gut-feeling, impulsive style of decision-making that we have seen. Look where that has gotten us…becoming a third-world country.
The bread lines are getting longer, the soup kitchens fuller and Food pantries are running out… and we should want more of the same? God forbid.
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Excuse me BUT is there anything this man has NOT changed his mind (if he has one)on????????

Asking people to fill air in tire to save gas(Which I call Obama’s Holistic approach to save gas and money) and Obama not being pro-active for giving any economic stimulus plan(last time Hillary did it), I feel McCain plan is better and should be supported.

Isn’t better to just buy 95% of American’s vote by offering them a tax break while increasing taxes on those evil people making over $250,000 per year?
“when the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic” –Ben Franklin

That ole hail mary throwin’ risk taker! The only risks this guy needs to worry himself about is whether or not to get those elevator chairs for the staircases in his 10 houses.
I always like mccain, and I thought he got a dirty deal from GWB. It tells you all you need to know about his late life conversion, though, to hire the people who did that to him to run his campaign. He let himself be beaten down. Maybe he thinks he’ll redeem himself once in office-I can’t take that chance, however.

The only way Palin is getting in to the Oval Office is with a tour pass. Keep your head in the sand, when you come up for air take a look at the electoral map. You are about to see the biggest Democratic landslide since 1964.
Republicans got their wish in 2004 and re-elected Bush who has trashed this country in 8 years. As President Obama said “Bush dug us a hole & McCain carried the shovel”.
Thanks again for the Palin pick, it’s the gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats.

lay off mccain! there was a mistake, sure. but it’s not his fault. my friends, john mccain was once a POW. that is all you need to know.

Come on folks, he’s just being impulsive and erratic. Nothing out of the ordinary.

You are close but this is McCain’s problem:

A Freddie Mac Money Trail Catches Up With McCain
“Rick is a friend, and I trust him,” McCain told NEWSWEEK last year.
Last week, though, McCain’s trust in Davis was tested again amid disclosures that Freddie Mac, the troubled mortgage giant that was recently placed under federal conservatorship, paid his campaign manager’s firm $15,000 a month between 2006 and August 2008.

itis thegoverment theyput 4yrin and full retire on s s ilike to do that

Chris dodd and Obama received the highest campaign contributions from Fannie. That’s a fact. Both Bush and McCain introduced legislation to regulate Fannie and Freddie over the past four years… but it was blocked… by who? Yep… Dodd and Obama.
So how is this “eight years of failed policies?” Sounds more like, “Eight years of pay-offs” to me.
God Bless America.

Obama wants to put words in voters’mouths about McCain’s plans to get votes. To have a fair election for voters, let the media and experts compare those plans. The democrats are using dirty trick!

MCain will do ANYTHING and say EVERYTHING in his manic quest to win. He has been a failure all his life (Academy, Navy, Congress, Marriage) and desperately needs a win.
He is goin down big time as voters can smell desperation and they don’t like it

What gets me is Obama is spending millions more on ads then Mccain. Spend spend spend. What do you think he will do with our money spend spend spend.You just don’t see it. Millions on a TV station that runs everyday and millions on ads witch tells me he is wasting money or just likes to see himself on tv.

More reckless and erratic pandering from the man who brought you Sarah Palin. She will rally the 20% of the kool-aid drinking, Bush-loving right-wing nuts and start the new American Christian Fascist party. Watch.

To BrianK Obama recieved contributions to his election, as did many other candidates. McCain has actual ties to both of those org!!!
You should not condone these immature, and indecisive statements from the McCain campain. They have stepped over the line, with these “terrorist” remarks, and have only embaressed the GOP, when we thought after the majority of scandles actually involve Republicans, and a failed President, and YOU STILL LOOK AT A REPUBLICAN?
You obviously are rich, religious, or have major issue’s sir….

2nd Source Confirms Obama Socialist Party Membership, Plus How They Infiltrated Democratic Party
Yesterday, we disclosed 2 documents, a archived press release from the New Party in 1996 and an archived Populist Progressive article, both confirming Barack Obama’s membership in the Socialist Affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America. On Wednesday, I went hunting for additional sources…

McCain’s POW doesn’t impress. My brother was WO1 med-evac chopper pilot, 5 purple hearts, 2 Distinguished Flying Crosses (one with oak leaf cluster), 2 Air Medals (one with numeral 5) and was a true hero saving lives in the middle of the worst war ever … hell, we buy most of our sh_t from communist china nowdays. What was it worth? What is Iraq worth versus one our best? Its a pig sty, was a pig sty and will seek a lowest common denominator. Democracy in the Middle East … what a joke. Soon as we pull out there will be genocide between “arab brethern”, but oh, I forgot too … Iranians are special, still call themselves “PERSIANS”, not crumby Arabs. Also, tell me about those terriorists … they are the same bast__ds that existed in NAZI germany. Just a bunch of thugs and murderers. So, save the McCain heroism for reminiscing, or as the navy says, “stow it”.

WHO exactly is this braintrust that is advising McCain on how to get his campaign platform straightened out? I’d like to offer a class of 9th grade government students to take over his campaign. They’ll work for free and will guarantee better results than McCain is currently getting.

Please do not be so hard on McCain, understand he has a condition.

How many of these symptoms has McCain demonstrated on this campaign?

Mccain might be scary but Obama is worse.He is spending his money like its penny’s. There is a write up about it on google.What is he going to do with our money when he gets in office?.He likes the money, money money money.

“It was hard not to see how pleased the Vietnamese were to have captured an admiral’s son,” he writes, “and I knew that my father’s identity was directly related to my survival.” But during the course of his medical treatment, McCain followed through on his offer of military information. Only two weeks after his capture, the North Vietnamese press issued a report — picked up by The New York Times — in which McCain was quoted as saying that the war was “moving to the advantage of North Vietnam and the United States appears to be isolated.” He also provided the name of his ship, the number of raids he had flown, his squadron number and the target of his final raid.

I think it’s evident that Mccain glosses over things just because he is desperate to win. His running mate, his wife, his entire campaign, are throwing everything but the kitchen sink in desperation. Anyone that wants to understand the philosophy behind Mccain, need only to look at the statements of his top economic advisor, Phil Gramm. There are very relevant quotes posted at… http://mccainpalinworld.com/
These quotes illustrate the flawed engine behind Mccain’s erratic actions. Make no mistake, he voted with Bush 91% of the time in order to get the GOP nod. He picked a grossly uneducated person as his running mate. He wanted to stop the first debate, in order to play politics in front of the people. His plans are flawed because his philosophies are flawed. Mccain is a relic, and a step backwards for our country.

Tim, McCain and his republican buddies lambasted Obama over the “air pressure in tires” remark then had to turn around and say, “you know, what he said is correct and backed up by every car and tire maker in the whole freaking world.” I say if you are so hot on McCains plan then you and your family can pay the whole bill for generations to come. I refuse to give anymore to these CEO’s who take our bailout and then go to a spa for a weekend. Burn them at the stake. And mj, lay off McCain? He deserves what he get’s. His “straight talk express” was bogus from the beginning. He is running a dirty campaign and you know it. But go ahead, bury your head in the sand but be sure and peek out on Nov 4 so I can laugh at it when the dems take control.

That last post is what is further becomming the most scarey part of this election. People who are mentally ill, making choices with the mentally ill, and endorsing “a mentally ill administration, and political party”
Why be scared of the economy, we should fear these people.

hey Steve shut up! you sound stupid

All of the people that voted for bush are now getting what they deserve, unfortunately there have been many people who took the time to ignore the sound bites the AM radio hate mongers and did some actual research on the candidates that now have to suffer through these crises. I can with a clear conscious know that I am not responsible for this end result, of electing the current president

If Dems spend spend spend, than how did Bill Clinton leave a surplus?
And why do most americans vote Dem in a economic crisis?
No its the Repub’s that like welfare, its a sure sign that the rich are getting richer, and the poor poorer…

… about the LAMB thing … you can shear a sheep 4 times a year, but you can only skin ‘em once. well, let me tell you, Bush and his minions including McCain, the RepubliCONS and religious right EXCLUSIVE church goers have already done the skinning. What we get is a bone, already picked clean. Vultures, robbers, thieves. Now, whats left … oh, how about some end-time quotes from Relevations.

Repug impersonators,
You are wasting your time.
Everyone knows my style.
We smell you sewer rats from a mile away.

Religion and Politics should not mix!!!
Agenda, and Govt leaders using the words “morals, family values and etc”
Should not happen at all. Its what the GOP says all the time, and yet never does……
Palins got a pregnant teen, McCain had cindy before he was divorced, and most Repubs are like priest’s they have a little boy on the side…..
Sound like good sound people to you?
Its time for a change in this country, I love god too, however what does god have to do with politics?

Hey! I have an idea how to fix the economy….let’s sell Alaska to China!!!
My fellow prisoners…I mean, bloggers… what do you think of this plan?

“A simple mistake” would be mispeaking about something, but throwing out such a hastily prepared campaign proposal, dealing with such a critical issue, without proofreading?
That’s just a lack of attention to detail.
And it reinforces the now entrenched notion that McCain isn’t steady, is erratic, etc.

you say the dem’s did a good thing when they passed a bill when cater was in office to help this mess and you say it was a good bill Clinton passed that told lenders to lend to people who could not afford it.That was a big bill for Clinton and you say it was all the rep fault? get a brain because i think yours fell out.But like any other dem’s nothing is ever your fault. Thats one big fault of the dem’s party they never stand up and say they were wrong. they blame it on someone else.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel

Peg,
It is you who are sadly mistaken, who produced the bill, who was the majority in the house, and senate during that time? Come on think about it please.
Republicans, should be accountable for their actions, which by record account for the majority of corruption, and disgust in Washington. All the while spouting what “God wishs for”, sounds like the extremist we are at war with doesnt it……wake up.

It is true that Obama is spending more money on TV Ads than McCain. The majority of his Ads I see are what and how he will do with the crisis we are facing. They are informative Ads. Don’t we voters deserve to know what the candidates are going to do with our country?
Sadly, the McCain’s Ads I see so far are all about smearing his opponent and scaring the voters. It is not campaign money well spent.

I was amused at McCain’s “tiller” remark.
A Sailing Metaphore!
…..so, ummmmm,
Kennedy-esque
or is it just Old Navy?

MSNBC’s First Read says that McCain was trying to say “my fellow Americans” yesterday and it came out “my fellow prisoners.”
During the debate, he referenced “my entire military career” when he meant his time in the Senate. I saw that one – he also looked confused for a long moment after saying it, before correcting himself.
Now we’re seeing reports about McCain wandering around stages, confused about how to leave them. Again at the last debate, we saw McCain look in discomfort after it was over, and then do that awkward meander between the moderator and the camera he was facing.
Is something going on?

PAUL
Mccain is slipping into DEMINTA AND ALTHIMZERS MY UNCLE HAS IT AND I SEE THE SIGNS this is not good!

I agree early signs of Deminta, and what irony it is, because he said repeadidly his hero is Ronald Reagan.
Its kinda sad really.

OBAMA & ACORN = VOTER FRAUD!

wow.. i bet some of you complaining have a daughter that had a kid or you made them get rid of it. I bet some of you have messed around on your spouse.I bet a lot of you have had a divorce. and you sit behind a computer and talk trash. If Obama divorced his wife you would say it was ok she was a hoer. I bet some of you were born out of wedlock or your parents were teenagers. it happens all the time doesn’t make you a bad person. but the dem’s think its something to talk about and shame people about.Mccain and his first wife got a divoce because they grew apart. they both said it, they are still good friends so stop already you make yourself s look stupid.If Palin didn’t tell you about her daughter she would have been trashed for that. Americans have gotten so hateful no wonder the world is laughing at us and it not the President they are laughing at right now its the people showing how immature they really are.

peter
It seems to me that Obama is making millions more than McCain so I suppose he can spend it if he has it. Hilary led her campaign millions in debt and McCain is struggling to get funding. So far Obama has demonstrated that he knows how to get the money he wants to spend and how to budget the money he gets.

To all those who think Obama is evil
McCain and Palin Lead the polls in Evangelist voters. (You know all those Jesus Freaks out their) Yet John McCain cheated on his first wife, divorced his first wife, and brags to his family about almost marrying a stripper. So could you please remind me which of the two candidates are wolves in sheep’s clothing. The man who is dedicated to his family or the man that cheated on and left his first wife? Unless I missed some new revision of God’s word we are still not suppose to commit adultery, and those who are bound to a wife are not suppose to seek to be loosed.

i agree with you blame. its us they are laughing at. everyone yelling and calling names very mature.

The only tactic left open for the McCain camp seems to be to smear and complain.
I enjoyed seeing the Obama video on ABC last night, as usual he was upbeat and motivating, and discussing his leadership plans.
Then this morning I see that the McCain camp is complaining that an unretouched photo of Palin was published. Which campaign winds up looking like adults?

VOTE McCAIN!!!!!
It’s the only thing that will save my fledgeling Robin Hood Party. Once the rich get rich enough, the masses will revolt and I will rule what’s left of the free world. Unless, of course, they find a way to disenfranchise the poor…Oh yeah, thousands were just purged from the voter roles in OH, VA, NC, CO, NV, MI, IN. Guess I need a new idea. Personal Bailout????

A Town Meeting on Economic Insecurity:
Employment and Survival in Urban America
By Bob Roman
Over three hundred people attended the first of two Town Meetings on Economic Insecurity on February 25 in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Entitled “Employment and Survival in Urban America”, the meeting was sponsored by the UofC DSA Youth Section, Chicago DSA and University Democrats. The panelists were Toni Preckwinkle, Alderman of Chicago’s 4th Ward; Barack Obama, candidate for the 13th Illinois Senate District; Professor William Julius Wilson, Center for the Study of Urban Inequality at the University of Chicago; Professor Michael Dawson, University of Chicago; and Professor Joseph Schwartz, Temple University and a member of DSA’s National Political Committee.
The meeting demonstrated that economic insecurity is an issue not exclusive to Buchanan Republicans. It is a vital issue for the left as well. More than that, it illustrated that, unlike the Right, the democratic left has a number of potential solutions that go beyond mere demagoguery.
Alderman Preckwinkle began the discussion by observing that the Chicago City Council rarely takes up the great issues facing the city even when it is presented with legislation dealing with these issues. Hearings are not held. Legislation rarely makes it out of committee.
As examples, she used Alderman Joe Moore’s (49th) Privatization Ordinance which was introduced last year and the Jobs and Living Wage Ordinance which will be formally introduced in the Council very soon.
The Privatization Ordinance (see January – February, 1995, New Ground, page 1) was a modest effort to regulate the manner in which city services were privatized. It would have made the process accountable and made sure savings were not accomplished at the expense of employees. The measure was consigned to oblivion in committee. While a majority of the Council “supported” the ordinance, an attempt to release it from committee failed for lack of votes.
The Jobs and Living Wage Ordinance (see January – February, 1996, New Ground, page 10) is a more ambitious attempt to require city contractors to pay a minimum living wage. The measure will be formally introduced into the Council in April or May. Alderman Preckwinkle was not optimistic about its prospects although the presence of the Democratic National Convention may provide some opportunities for better leverage.
Barack Obama observed that Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in the 1960s wasn’t simply about civil rights but demanded jobs as well. Now the issue is again coming to the front, but he wished the issue was on the Democratic agenda not just on Buchanan’s.
One of the themes that has emerged in Barack Obama’s campaign is “what does it take to create productive communities”, not just consumptive communities. It is an issue that joins some of the best instincts of the conservatives with the better instincts of the left. He felt the state government has three constructive roles to play.
The first is “human capital development”. By this he meant public education, welfare reform, and a “workforce preparation strategy”. Public education requires equality in funding. It’s not that money is the only solution to public education’s problems but it’s a start toward a solution. The current proposals for welfare reform are intended to eliminate welfare but it’s also true that the status quo is not tenable. A true welfare system would provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not use this term, it sounded very much like the “social wage” approach used by many social democratic labor parties. By “workforce preparation strategy”, Barack Obama simply meant a coordinated, purposeful program of job training instead of the ad hoc, fragmented approach used by the State of Illinois today.
The state government can also play a role in redistribution, the allocation of wages and jobs. As Barack Obama noted, when someone gets paid $10 million to eliminate 4,000 jobs, the voters in his district know this is an issue of power not economics. The government can use as tools labor law reform, public works and contracts.

Obama’s plan =Socialism. Ilove this man.

i disagree with you. it is the people my son is in the military and is in Germany and he says they are laughing at the people.The have write ups in the paper saying how immature the American people are and that we have lost our way. Not the government the people. Obama is not our savor no matter what you think.the government is only as good as the people behind it and i would say the people here are spoiled and selfish.Two faced and hateful. not all the people some are good and you don’t hear much from them. its easier to blame th rep for the world problems.all your doing is hiding witch the dem’s are good at.

star…..what????….learn English!!!!

Star: I have served my country in the cold war, and in this war, I am a disabled veteran.
The world see’s what our leaders do, more than what we do. And yes unfortunatly they dislike us now more than ever, because of our current president. We appear to be “children” to them, because after all George W. was voted in office by “we the people”, so of coarse we are responsible for this problem.
And they are correct. I Love my country, however currently we need to bring back “pride” in our nation.
How can we be right now, with this administration.
The world loved Clinton, because he did his job, he represented the “People” he is moderate, and diplomatic. And did not shove a bunch of religion down our throats, and anger the world with his “king like” behavior.

Following up on the notion that McCain may be suffering with something, could it be that Cindy has started talking to diminish the time that John spends in front of the microphone?

I believe so Paul. It makes perfect sense.

Angie is 100% correct!!!!

Blame, I am saying that the record speaks for itself. Republicans are the party who are religiously bound. (like in chains, fear god, etc) and they should not be so hypocritical.
Its a unarguable fact: Religion and Politics do not belong together whatsoever. Its in the constitution, and it makes perfect sense.
And Dems are always in the spotlight, and Repubs are always saying the dems are blaming when they are simply “making the point” that the Republican party commits the most “crimes” in regards to “Sin”.
Someone has to point them out. And the Republicans should keep religion out of politics, and at the very least live what they preech. Dont you think?
This subject has been beeten down enough for me, please refrain from pushing a agenda that you cannot defend.

Star I did not imply that because he is a Democratic he is a great man.
I am implying that “Because he is for the people, and change, with a steady message and a strong heart” he is who I am voting for.
Its not about Dem, or Repub, I would vote for many Republicans I admire, who cannot or will not run for president.
Moderate views, and strong character.

Thankyou Paul that was well put.

LMAO!!! Paul you are correct again!!!
Paul/Mel for president!!!!
Well on the other hand, I do not want all of this baggage on my lap….lol

angie – that’s how they keep all their “traditional values” male viewership.
In a non-election years, here’s the decision tree used in the Fox editorial offices:
Lead with any cute, dead blondes.
The follow with stories about cute, missing blondes.
Finish with the odd antics of cute, blonde, underage celebrities – and have their most embarrassing antics running in a continuous loop behind the anchor.
Sure, there are exceptions. Janet Jackson isn’t blonde. But let’s face it – a bare boob at the Superbowl was just too enticing for Fox not to run it on continuous loop.

Loki is right.
God is in the heart, and real christians should support a position that “encourages stability, diversion, and respect” for all other faiths, throughout the world.
This approach we have had thus far is sending the message, “we will assimilate you into our beliefs”
That is un-american. and needs to stop.
Our neo-conservative/extremist christians are no different than the people we are fighting in this war on terror. That is the perception we are projecting to the world, and the world is tired of it.

Mel, I’d be happy to run for president, and with you on the ticket.
My campaign slogan – I’m only in it for the pension.
Plus, I’d probably hang out all the time at Camp David. Its much nicer up there than in Washington. And just down the hill is a really nice restaurant called the Cozy Inn – buffet style, but with food that actually has taste. If you’re ever driving down U.S. 15 around dinner time, I recommend a stop in Thurmont.

Sean Hannity is “Rush Limbaugh” in another disguise. He should be banned for his “propaganda and deception”.
He incites people into his agenda.

One of the comments suggest we should vote for McCain simply because he was a POW? Can we get a list of names of ALL POWs – I’d rather chose and vote for a name at random than vote for McCain. Bottomline – the fact that he was a former POW, alone, does not qualify him to lead this country. If that is the only credential needed, there are thousands that should listed on the ticket!

Becky, what exactly is wrong with Barack’s middle name?

All in all, I think I’d rather have Hussein for a middle name than Sidney.
Sidney sounds like the kid who gets beat up all the time.
In fact, here’s an interesting point. Ever notice how most presidents have middle names that sound more like last names than they do first names?
Bush has Walker
Clinton has Jefferson
Reagan had Wilson
Nixon had Milhous
Johnson had Baines
Kennedy had Fitzgerald
Roosevelt had Delano
From that perspective, Obama is much more qualified than McCain to be president; Hussein sounds more like a last name than Sidney.

Mccain does not mind being the biggest socialist if it gets him votes, I guess that is what a maverick is – anything to anyone. At 9 am is maverick who panders to the religious right, at noon, turns to satisfy fiscal conservatives, at tea time turns to please the socialists and in the evening turns to satisfy the primal needs of the Joe sixpacks and KKK types.

“BECKY”
I just checked Politfact.com
Factcheck.org and even Snopes.com
and no mention of your idiotic claim. please don’t waste my time. thanks.

This is an impressive tap dance:
“It doesn’t reflect the intentions of the initiative, which necessitated the correction and the removal of the sentence.”
Nice way of saying “we changed our minds.”

Clueless McSame is roaming through a dense fog. Who knows what he is going to say the next minute!

Law pausing foreclosures.
What do your experts think of this idea.? Could Congress pass a law that would stop and prevent all foreclosures on homes for at least 1 year (or maybe a few more) if the borrower paid at least 6% interest on the loan balance (plus taxes and insurance)? Here is what it could do. It should apply to all residential loans made, owned or serviced by any federally regulated financial institution. With the prime rate at 4.5% a 6% return is fair and much better than nothing. It should slow dramatically the number of foreclosed homes being added to an already flooded market. It will allow homeowners to make reasonable payments for at least a year or more. It will allow Congress to revisit the interest rate at the sunset date of the law. It would apply only to ARM loans made during a certain window, say January 1, 2001 through July 2008. This should not cost us taxpayers anything. This will modify loans that cannot be modified now because they are in large pools of investments owned by many investors. For those homeowners that bought way more than they can afford even at 6%, sorry but this won’t help you. This will give the residential market some time to stabilize and hopefully start increasing in value again. Granted this does not solve the long term problem of what to do with these loans in the future, but it might help our current crisis and give us more time to look for long term solutions.
