GOLDEN, Colo. – Senator Barack Obama scoffed at a proposal offered Tuesday by Senator John McCain to create a commission to study the calamity in the nation’s financial markets, declaring: “We know how we got into this mess.”

“Instead of offering up concrete plans to solve these issues, Senator McCain offered up the oldest Washington stunt in the book –- you pass the buck to a commission to study the problem,” Mr. Obama told an audience here. “But here’s the thing – this isn’t 9/11.”

Mr. McCain, in a round of morning television interviews, proposed creating a panel to study the upheaval on Wall Street similar to the one that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks. Such a group, he said, could “get to the bottom of this and get it fixed.”

1. McCalamity is such a joke. Does he offer any solutions other than tax breaks or bailouts?

America needs real answers to our problems not studies.
