GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Tuesday blamed Wall Street's financial turmoil on unchecked corporate greed. His Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, dismissed McCain's call for a high-level commission to study the economic crisis as ``passing the buck.''

The presidential campaigns argued over who would be best able to deal with the kinds of financial meltdowns that roiled the markets Monday and to prevent a similar crisis in the future. McCain proposed a review on the order of the one led by the Sept. 11 commission, the bipartisan panel that studied the events leading to the 2001 terrorist attacks.

``We need a 9/11 commission,'' McCain said Tuesday on NBC's ``Today'' show. ``We need a commission to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it and I know we can do that and I'll do it.''

Obama, campaigning in Golden, Colo., accused McCain of failing to offer concrete plans for dealing with economic issues.

``Sen. McCain offered up the oldest Washington stunt in the book. You pass the buck to a commission to study the problem,'' Obama said. ``This isn't 9/11. We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out. I'll provide it. John McCain won't. And that's the choice for Americans in this election.''

Obama continued to criticize McCain's remark Monday that ``the fundamentals of our economy are strong.'' In a television ad released Tuesday, Obama's campaign asks: ``How can John McCain fix our economy if he doesn't understand it's broken?''
