McCain: I tried to prevent this crisis, but Obama thwarted me
wtf is he talking about? I can't wait til the fact checkers get ahold of this claim, in McCain's radio address today.

Two years ago, I called for reform of this corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Congress did nothing. The Administration did nothing. Senator Obama did nothing, and actually profited from this system of abuse and scandal. While Fannie and Freddie were working to keep Congress away from their house of cards, Senator Obama was taking their money. He got more, in fact, than any other member of Congress, except for the Democratic chairman of the committee that oversees them.

3. Well Enrique, don't every try to figure out what he is saying because if you do, you will go insane.
Look at all of the things he has said in his convoluted manner of speaking. This guy does not know what or who he is talking about half the time and this claim of his is one of his many lies he spreads out there but Obama can and will handle him.

5. I think this one Obama will rebut with skill and ease
Get ready for the bad guys to throw mud like we've never witnessed before because the lies are so obvious and easy to disprove. And they know it.
