Quotes of the Day

"Two years ago, I warned that the oversight of Fannie and Freddie was terrible, that we were facing a crisis because of it, or certainly a serious problem."

-- Sen. John McCain, in an interview earlier today, via ABC News.

........................

"So, I'd like to tell you that I did anticipate it, but I have to give you straight talk, I did not."

-- McCain, in an interview with Keene Sentinel on the mortgage crisis in December 2007.

2. So where are the quotes from 2006 where you say
"there is no oversight of Fannie and Freddie and if we don't do something fast they could crash and burn causing turmoil to a significant portion of the mortgage market."??????? Dumbass.

3. sounds like
"I did not anticipate the breaching of the levees". hmmm.....sounds very familiar.

this sounds like a flip flop

"So, I'd like to tell you that I did anticipate it, but I have to give you straight talk, I did not."

5. "I do not recall saying that I did not anticipate it."
"I may have said something not really something that was the backwards of meaning what I meant when I didn't say what I said, but I do not recall."
