ABC's "Note" reported McCain camp attacks on Obama for written remarks assuming bailout passage, without noting that McCain himself touted his role in failed bill
Summary: ABCNews.com's Terry Davis and Rigel Anderson reported that "[Sen. John] McCain's top policy adviser hammered [Sen. Barack] Obama for a set of prepared remarks which incorrectly assumed that the bailout would pass," but they did not note that both McCain and another key McCain campaign adviser prematurely touted McCain's role in achieving passage of the bill.

I blame the liberal elite MSM for the current financial crisis. If the MSM hadn't been in the tank for Obama and his Hollywood liberal socialist Marxist commie elitists, former POW and War Hero John McCain could have prevented this entire thing from happening. In summary, this crisis is the fault of:
1. Liberal MSM
2. Obama and his Democrat buddies who are all Washington insiders
3. Americans who are 'whiners'
4. Mexicans and gays (and maybe blacks)

Snoop-
Sorry for forgetting about the lesbians. They are certainly to blame as much as anyone who caused this mess.
I also left out Muslims, hippies, sub-prime mortgage lender/brokers, and bears (the greatest threat to democracy) who all share equal blame for this bailout mess.

That's OK. Just don't ever, never, blame Newt Gingrich. He had nothing to do with this!

To snoopy and Kyle: You left-wing pink-o! Lesbians are not a separate group from "gays". "Gay" is all-inclusive. Oh, did I leave out "bleeding heart" left-wing pink-o? Sorry. Did I forget Welfare Moms "on the dole" by "tax and spend" libs?

Well...... since Bill and/or Hillary Clinton are no longer either running, are the president-first lady, in the driver seat of the Democratic party, or in the spotlight.....
It is now Obama's turn to be blamed for everything wrong with the rightwing not getting it way!
If Edwards or Richardson or Biden been the choosen among the Dems to be the next president..... it would be no less different: "candidates name" has the most liberal voting record... blah, blah, blah......
Who says the corporate owned rightwing media is not also swimming in the same pool with the Republican party? Ans: the rightwing themselves! Damned projectionists!

McCain: I am a Teddy Roosevelt Republican.
And Teddy Roosevelt's brain has been dead since 1919...

Remember when, as your high school football team was losing the "big game", the coach would send out "Stumbles" Mahoney? The crowd all went, "Oh, NOOOOO!" "Not "Stumbles" Mahoney...please!"
