McCain – Palin Channels Bill Clinton in Latest Television Ad

From the Press Release:

The ad highlights John McCain’s record of fighting to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While John McCain was fighting to rein in these mortgage giants, Barack Obama was taking their campaign contributions, their advice and staying silent. As former President Clinton stated, responsibility for this crisis lies in part on those who prevented reforms and stayed silent. The ad will be televised nationally.

The Script:

ANNCR: John McCain fought to rein in Fannie and Freddie.

The Post says: McCain “pushed for stronger regulation”…”while Mr. Obama was notably silent.”

But, Democrats blocked the reforms.

Loans soared.

Then, the bubble burst.

And, taxpayers are on the hook for billions.

Bill Clinton knows who is responsible.

PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: “I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”

ANNCR: You’re right, Mr. President. It didn’t have to happen.

JOHN MCCAIN: I’m John McCain and I approve this message.

Barack Obama is definitley benefitting in the polls from the economic turmoil in America’s financial and credit markets. Will John McCain be able to hang this albatross around Obama’s and the Democrat’s neck?

It remains to be seen.

If McCain does not then he loses the Presidential race.
