I do not trust this man.

Mr. McCain drove US over financial cliff, de-regulated country into oblivion. Now he wants to "reform" everything. What a faker, what a clown. You American morons will vote for him anyway, you are such losers, ha ha.

I do not trust him either. The only reason he is yelling is because we are yelling. If we change our minds tomorrow he will be yelling something different. He will say anything to get you to vote for him.

Wasn't the Keaton Five (not sure what it was called) was McCain not involved in this and was this along the same line and we had to pay big time to bail them out???

paulson is a bandit and he should be in jail not taking a trillion dollars from the treasury of the united states.

this whole thing is absolute madness!! these are the people who brought the entire financial system into the ditch.. and we are looking at giving them MORE money? INSANE!
like a madhouse!
paulson made half a trillion dollars on the backs of the mortgage mess before he cleaned out of goldman.. as quickly as he was able to. he is nothing but a criminal and he belongs in jail.
STOP THE MADNESS!!

if we need to spend this money than there should be NEW responsible people in charge. not the bandits who brought us this mess in the first place!

Everyone's "uncomfortable with bailout money in the hands of only one person" but that's the risk we have to take... unless you [McCain] have a better plan...

???

ABC can you explain the Keaton Five to us??? What was all that about? Some of us are to young to know much about it.

Average Joe: I agree. This man should be in jail facing charges and someone we can trust should step in. Also, congress needs to stand firm on everything today.

I agree that oversight is needed. However, McCain's loudest corporate advocate as of late, Carly Fiorina, received a huge golden parachute. Please spare us the fake outrage Senator McCain.

so why exactly is mccain admiring paulson? there is nothing to admire there, a bandit who made hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent mortgage deals!
just to have the audacity to ask congress to give him 700 billion dollars.. shouws his intents. paulson is just a criminal and he should be in jail!
STOP THE MADNESS!!

As usual, McCain trying to rush into things. That's why we're stuck in Iraq right now. That's why he has an un-vetted VP. Do you want a President who doesnt think and just acts on impulse? Well wait a minute, Bush has served 2 terms, so I guess I just answered my own question.

For a guy campaigning on family values, John McCain has broken up a lot of marriages. When he met his first wife (a swimsuit model), she was married to another man. After breaking that marriage up, she stuck by him loyally as he went off to war and was a prisoner for 5 and a half years. When he returned to America, though, he found out that she had been in a car wreck and wasn't as pretty. So he had a series of affairs, by his own admission, and dumped his wife and adopted family for a younger, very rich blond (now Cindy McCain.) Cindy, the daughter of a wealthy Budweiser beer distributor, was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran. In February, 2008, the New York Times ran a big article about the unusually close relationship between John McCain and a young telecommunications lobbyist named Vicki Iseman (who looks uncannily like Cindy McCain did when SHE was 25). They became so close that his staff, convinced they were having an affair, confronted both McCain and Iseman, telling them to back off. Now, a lot of people have criticized the Times for hinting without actually saying that McCain had sexual relations with that woman. But really, it doesn't matter. It's a matter of record that he accepted money and favors from her, spent a lot of time for her, and did favors for her clients. Among other things, McCain wrote two letters -- from a draft provided by Vicki Iseman -- to the head of the Federal Communications Commission -- which was way out of line, since McCain headed the Senate Commmerce Committee, which controls the FCC. McCain's pressure was so outrageous that, even though McCain was in charge of funding his commission, the FCC commissioner wrote a letter back rebuking him for his interference, at the height of McCain's "ethics in government" campaign.
So, was McCain sleeping with her, hoping to sleep with her, or being subconsciously manipulated by a cute young woman? It doesn't really matter. He was being led by his groin into ethical violations. Let's face it, he was 64 at the time and is 72 now. Whether he is still cheating or not, he seems to be led by his d***; witness the videos of McCain checking out Sarah Palin's butt during the speech where he introduced her.

The Maverick is a day late to the mortgage crisis. His voting record with deregulation does not support his words.

Deeds not words ...

First McCain agrees with Bush 90% of the time, then he says he's for change. He was the person who pushed to deregulate everything and now he acts like he is the one who has been fighting deregulation for years.

What does he really believe in?

The people of the US aren't that concerned with one persons oversight of a bailout of US and foreign banks worth 500+ billion dollars? It seems they would rather live in a socialist fantasy land with Obama on top. Really sad.

For this current DIRE economic situation, Obama sais that he did not have any plan becaus he was still waiting for Congress and the White House to announce their plan and he [Obama] did not want to interfere. Hm...for the possible next DIRE situation (like another terrorist attack), Obama will probably wait fot the United Nations to come up with a plan because he does not want to interfere with the UN.

dvdivx, aren't we socializing the banking industry now? please think before you use your comfy labels. 'socialist' is so 1950s.

when he forgets about partisanship
mccain makes alot of sense...

say what u may but overall he is more non partisan than obama who is totally partisan, and personally i did not get a reassuring feeling with Obama saying let me talk to my advisers..., my impression was - and u want to be president.. so when there is a crisis - he has to check with advisers? my take its the the game he played in the illionois senate -by voting present - he can dodge any blame and as he said it himself he is a blank slate for people to infer their ideas to him as his, at least mccain has a record agree or disagree with it,

John McCain is a true American, and a hero. We love you John! McCain/Palin 08

Kitty, John McCain is an American hero. That doesn't mean he should be President. He and his views have help deregulate this country into the S&L crisis and the current crisis.
