Video: McCain Bashes Obama for Connections to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, "Now is not the time for political opportunism"
Here is a video from a McCain rally today, where McCain criticizes Obama for trying to take advantage of economic woes for political gain. McCain hits Obama for his connections to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Lehman Brothers:
Here's the transcript:
John McCain On Barack Obama And The Financial MarketsIt's about time McCain called the Messiah on his socialist hypocrisy. They need to follow this up with an ad."[Barack Obama] talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbara Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than here, with the working men and women of Ohio." -- John McCain

Remarks
Vienna, OH
September 16, 2008John McCain: "We've seen a telling moment in this campaign today. Senator Obama saw an economic crisis, and he's found a political opportunity. My friends, this is not a time for political opportunism; this is a time for leadership.
"Too often, we hear people say America's in decline. I reject that. I believe America's best days are ahead of us. Governor Palin and I are going to reform Wall Street. We're going to reform Washington. I'm going to fight for you, and I'm going to lead our nation forward in the greatest periods of prosperity in its history.
"And let's have some straight talk. Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope, he's interested in his political future and that's why he is hurling in insults and making up facts about his record.
"Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. That's news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didn't even show up to vote.
"He talks a tough game on the financial crisis, but the facts tell a different story. Senator Obama took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac than anyone but the chairman of the committee they answer to, and he put Fannie Mae's CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President. That's not change, that's what's broken in Washington.
"He talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbara Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than here, with the working men and women of Ohio. I'm going to fight for you and together we're going to win in November."

Since you've already highlighted the Streisand part of the story by repeating it at the beginning, might I suggest you the following paragraph and add a note after that you added the emphasis?:
"He talks a tough game on the financial crisis, but the facts tell a different story. Senator Obama took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac than anyone but the chairman of the committee they answer to, and he put Fannie Mae's CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President. That's not change, that's what's broken in Washington.
I think that would draw readers to the most important part of the story.
Thanks for putting this out there in its entirety. We all need to keep emphasizing the Obama atrocities.

Democrats created the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac problems years ago, in a well intentioned but failed effort to allow low income groups to buy houses. They stopped ALL eforts at reform until it was too late. Now they are trying to blame Bush, McCain and Republicans, everyone but themselves. That's the Gods truth and here is the proof:
