Interesting article

McCain blames the greed and corruption (I agree) but Obama blames the White House (not really).
And last time I checked, democrats controls the congress. What have they done? Anything?
What is their approval rating? in single digits last time I checked. What the hell are they doing?

who sounds more like a candidate that will face the problem and do his best to fix it?
I think the person who will punish the greed and corruption, and not someone who just blames another.

"With chaos rocking financial markets, John McCain assailed "greed and corruption" on Wall Street and promised to clean it up, while Barack Obama blamed White House policies and said his opponent would only deliver more of the same."

I'm not fooled

It is both the White House and "the greed and corruption" of Wall Street.  Maybe Congress could do more if the Republicans weren't blocking as many of the Democratic initiatives as they possibly could because they are better at politicking than making policy.

And why do you have to turn everything into a political debate?  This is more of an economics debate than a political debate.  You have contributed nothing to this thread.

 

the Repubs are blocking tax increase bills half the time. Frankly we need McCain or Nader in the White House otherwise the US will fall or we will just need a new election because both Obama and Biden will be killed for jacking up taxes (Biden more then Obama when it comes to tax increases). We need to say screw our debt problem at the moment and help the citizens before the government.

I have an odd feeling that if Biden becomes president it will be the fall of the Democratic USA. Remember throughout history Democracy has always fallen to a dictator than to a parliamentary system.
