McCain admits he deregulated banks.

Daily Kos made a good find!

John's own words:

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.


Funphil in the previous thread makes an excellent point;

"as we have done"

This is the money part of the quote. "as we have done over the last decade in banking."

How can he keep blaming Obama for the "last decade" of deregulation in banking?


Remember he now blames Obama for the banking crisis, yet for the past year, has he not said Obama has done nothing?

"Senator Obama may be taking their advice and he may be taking their money, but in a McCain-Palin administration, there will be no seat for these people at the policy-making table," McCain said of his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

"This is the problem with Washington, people like Senator Obama have been too busy gaming the system and haven't ever done a thing to actually challenge the system," he said in the battleground state of Wisconsin [...]

"This is a guy who's spent nearly three decades in Washington. After spending the entire campaign saying I haven't been in Washington long enough, he apparently now is willing to assign me responsibility for all of Washington's failings," [Obama] said.

"I think it's pretty clear that Senator McCain is a little panicked right now. At this point he seems to be willing to say anything, or do anything, or change any position, or violate any principle to try and win this election."


We have a real crisis. One leader is leading. He is calm and level headed and is not trying to score political points when addressing the press and the American people. Then we have another candidate that has panicked and is blaming everyone in site for something he actually played a part in causing! Which one do you want for president?
