Obama: Fire the Whole Trickle Down, on Your Own, Look the Other Way Crowd

Thursday 18 September 2008

by: Terence Hunt, The Associated Press

Espanola, New Mexico - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama promised fresh ideas Thursday to calm America's financial meltdown and help struggling families avoid mortgage foreclosure, saying "this is not a time for fear, it's not a time for panic."

Obama also heaped criticism and sarcasm on Republican rival John McCain and mocked his promise to fire the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission if elected.

"I think that's all fine and good but here's what I think," Obama said. "In the next 47 days you can fire the whole trickle-down, on-your-own, look-the-other way crowd in Washington who has led us down this disastrous path.

"Don't just get rid of one guy. Get rid of this administration," he said. "Get rid of this philosophy. Get rid of the do-nothing approach to our economic problem and put somebody in there who's going to fight for you."

1. I hope he repeats this every day until November. It's a great rallying cry and reminds

people just what McCain and Bush are.

5. I'm going to vote absentee by mail this year. So, I can be one of the first to fire these bastards!

Then I will have more time to kick these great threads of yours, kpete.

6. What about the investigations and trials and punishments and returning then money they stole and

legislation to make sure this does not happen again?
Well?
