McCain Accuses Obama of Exploiting Financial Turmoil

John McCain accused Barack Obama of exploiting the turmoil on Wall Street to enhance his political future Tuesday, hitting back after Obama suggested McCain was divorced from the latest economic unrest.

“Senator Obama saw an economic crisis and he’s found a political opportunity,” McCain said to a crowd in Vienna, Ohio, alongside his running mate Sarah Palin. “My friends, this is not a time for political opportunism. This is a time for leadership.

“Let’s have straight talk. Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope. He is interested in his political future, and that is why he is hurling insults and making up facts about his record,” he said.

McCain and Palin both taunted Obama as out of touch, with McCain wagging his finger at his rival for hosting a pricey fundraiser with Barbra Streisand in Beverly Hills Tuesday night.

“He talks about siding with the people … just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends,” McCain said. “Let me tell you, my friends, there is no place I’d rather be than here with the working men and women win of Ohio.”

I'll bet that the crusading Obamamessiah would have had a much better chance at stopping the "greatest financial crisis since the great depression" if his ass stayed in the senate for more more than three months before he disappeared for the rest of his term while he ran for president.

mccain on the stump tuesday:

Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea.  That’s news to those of us in Congress who supported it.  Senator Obama didn’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 Mae’s CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President.  That’s not change, that’s what’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 I’d rather be, than here, with the working men and women of Ohio.  I’m going to fight for you and together we’re going to win in November.
