John McCain

McCain has kept saying I'll fight for a bipartisan commission.

But I know a great deal about it. I know how to handle it and I know how to defeat it but it's not going to be a short struggle.

We're going to fight and we're going to win. We're going to fight, fight.

I'm here in Grand Rapids to send a message to Washington and Wall Street. We're not going to leave the workers of Michigan hung out to dry while the government gives billions in taxpayers' dollars to Wall Street. We're not going to stand…

Well, I called for more regulation two years ago.

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.

Talks a tough game on the financial crisis, but the facts tell a different story. Senator Obama took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than anyone but the chairman of the committee they answer to.

I pledge that the FDIC and the SBIC will have all the support they need to fully back the savings of the American people. Government has a clear responsibility to act in defense of the public interest. And that's exactly what I intend to…

In short order, we're going to put an end to the reckless conduct, corruption and unbridled greed that have caused a crisis on Wall Street.

The fundamentals of the economy is strong.

The American worker is the most productive, and most innovative. They're the fundamental of our economy and the strength of it and the reason why we will rebound.

McCain will lower taxes for everybody, including businesses. So, he wants to reduce taxes for all individual taxpayers.

Still John McCain says, well, 'I called for more regulations two years ago.' Barack Obama says he would just be more like George W. Bush.

It's over. It's over for the special interests.

What I obviously was saying and I believe is the American worker is the most productive, most innovative, they're the fundamental of our economy and the strength of it, and the reason why we will rebound. We will come back from this…

The American worker is the most productive and the most innovative; they're the fundamental of our economy and the strength of it and the reason why we will rebound. We will come back from this crisis.

We have to assure every American that their deposit in a bank is safe. We have to have a 9/11 commission and we have to fix this alphabet soup of regulatory agencies that's left over from the 1930s.

I pledge that the FDIC and the SPIC will have all the support they need to fully back the savings for the American people. Government has a clear responsibility to act in defense of the public interest and that's exactly what I intend to…

In short order we're going to put an end to the reckless conduct, corruption and unbridled greed that have caused the crisis on Wall Street. We're going to put a stop to it.

The lies of the McCain campaigns, the untruth, the distortions, the attempts to paint Senator Obama are more central to the arguments of the McCain campaign right now than they are to the Obama campaign on the other side.

First of all, earmark spending, which she vetoed a half-a-billion dollars worth in the state of Alaska.

People are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times. And I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up…

John McCain is clearly uncomfortable with the campaign that he has authorized his staff to run.
