Obama's Half Hour Special

I don't think that anyone can disagree that the issues mentioned Obama's half hour special touch each and every american. The major difference that seperates everyone is who we believe can fix these problems.

What people don't seem to understand is that it was Clinton who de-regulated the housing loan system. McCain fought to put these regulations back into place. The democrats rejected the claims that a crisis was coming. Boom... here we are in the middle of a crisis caused by the failure fannie mae and freddie mac. Unfortunately no one follows what goes on in congress so its easier to be swayed by catchy phrases and campaign marketing strategies.

I saw a comment above stating they wondered if McCain would a similar ad. McCain's campaign cannot afford to do these ad's because McCain is a man of his word and had agreed to take public financing. Obama made the same promise but broke his promise to the american people because winnning was more important than his word.
