Obama showing real leadership in crisis, McCain attacks Obama during crisis

Obama has just finished his remarks about the crisis to the press. He said and I am paraphrasing that this is not the time to gain political points, but a time to come together to solve the problem once and for all.

McCain said Obama is to blame for the problem. He used this issue, the same way he uses the war, to gain political points! That is what he will do as president. EXACTLY the way President Bush has done the last 8 years!

What does the media say about McCains attacks?

NY Times:

Senator John McCain gave a few new details of his economic proposals at a speech here Friday morning, but the address seemed as much a political shot at Senator Barack Obama as a policy prescription.

Washington Post:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain offered few new details this morning on how he would respond to the crisis in the nation's financial markets, instead renewing his criticism of Democratic rival Barack Obama's ties to former heads of mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

The campaign yesterday had promised more information about McCain's economic plan. But McCain, in a speech to a hastily assembled meeting of the local chamber of commerce, mostly repeated his call for a new government trust that would identify and help rescue failing financial institutions and a set of principles to guide future regulation and legislation.
