OBAMA: MCCAIN 'A LITTLE PANICKED'

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- As officials in Washington continued work on a plan to rescue a teetering financial system, Obama responded to McCain's efforts to paint him as a "Washington insider" complicit in the financial crisis, calling it a "panicked" move by the Arizona senator.

“This morning, Senator McCain gave a speech in which his big solution to this world wide economic crisis was to blame me for it,” Obama said to boos from the crowd of about 8,000 people at a South Florida rally. “This is the guy who spent nearly three decades in Washington and after spending the entire campaign saying I haven’t been in Washington long enough he apparently now is willing to assign me the responsibility for all of Washington’s failures.”

“I think it’s pretty clear that Sen. McCain is a little panicked right now,” he added. “At this point he seems to be willing to say anything or do anything or change any position or violate any principle to try and win this election.”

Throughout his roughly 40 minute speech, the senator also stressed the differences between himself and John McCain on issues of concern to women.

The Democratic nominee spoke of his commitment to equal pay for equal work, pointing out that McCain had opposed legislation to help women get equal pay, and said McCain had called Roe v. Wade a “flawed decision” and was running on a platform to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest, an issue some of his campaign’s ads have been highlighting as part of an effort to win over the women voters who will be critical in this election.
