Speaking in Golden, Colorado, Barack Obama discusses McCain's failed policies and how his record and policies differ from those of John McCain.

"It is time to put an end to he broken system in Washington that is breaking the American economy. It is time for change that makes a real difference in your lives."

"In February of 2006, I introduced legislation to stop mortgage transactions that promoted fraud, risk or abuse. A year later, before the crisis hit, I warned Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke about the risks of mounting foreclosures and urged them to bring together all the stakeholders to find solutions to the subprime mortgage meltdown. Senator McCain did nothing.

Last September, I stood up at NASDAQ and said its time to realize that we are in this together that there is no dividing line between Wall Street and Main Street and warned of a growing loss of trust in our capital markets. Months later, Senator McCain told a newspaper that hed love to give them a solution to the mortgage crisis, but he said I dont know one."
