One of the great things about the McCain campaign is that they run timely ads, unlike the Obama campaign, which always seems to be a couple of days behind.
Here's the latest McCain ad:
The ad works because it gives three specific ways the McCain campaign thinks about stabilizing the financial industry. And Barack Obama? Well, he evidently doesn't have any ideas, but he's ready to assign blame.
It's rather stunning that Obama would actually accuse anybody of "not minding the store," when he, in fact, was being handed money hand over fist. In fact, as I pointed out at Delaware Liberal, OpenSecrets.org tells us who those nasty, greedy investment sharks give money to:
In the current Congress, 271 lawmakers have collected nearly $3 million since 1989, with 72 percent going to Democrats. Democratic presidential candidates and senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama top the list of all-time recipients for the company, collecting $410,000 and $395,600 respectively. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of both the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, hauled in $181,450, while Sen. Chris Dodd, chair of the Senate banking committee, has collected $165,800.
Interestingly, the DL folks just aren't interested in this factoid. Nope, they got their talking points for the day and that was it.
