Well, this presser could have been handled better.
So much for vetting the vetters. They’re not paid. They’re volunteer. Yeah, well, they’ve also just become a target.
It’s about Jim Johnson and Halperin
has the talking points Obama no doubt hopes people will absorb.
This story is overblown and irrelevant.
This an overblown story about what appear to be completely above-board transactions.
The Wall Street Journal even admits that they don’t have a story-noting
that it’s “impossible” to know the factors that went into
these arrangements.And look, one of John McCain’s top advisors, John Green, lobbied for
Ameriquest, one of the nation’s largest subprime lenders and a key player
in the mortgage crisis. What does it say about Senator McCain’s campaign
that they’ve selected someone who’s lobbied for a subprime lender
to serve as their full-time liaison to Republicans in Congress?…
Meanwhile, who’s the person who has offered a solution to homeowners who are
hurting? It isn’t the Republican.
Meanwhile, John McCain has struggled for months to come up with a real plan
to address the housing crisis. It took him three tries to come up with answers
for struggling homeowners, and he still came up short. And when he laid out
his economic agenda recently he couldn’t be bothered to talk about the
housing crisis.
This is politics 101. When you’ve got no answers change the subject, offer
up subterfuge and sabotage. But it doesn’t mean they’ve got anything. And so
it goes… We’ll see if it sticks. But considering people are sincerely worried about things as basic is how to fill their tank, I’d say this is one of those things that makes voters nuts. It has nothing whatsoever to do with solving their problems. Again, it’s simply a distraction.
