[It's important to] stay calm, because things are never smooth in Congress.John McCain's campaign on the same subject:
There are going to be some bumps and trials and tribulations and ups and downs before we get this rescue package done. I'm confident that we are going to get there, but it's going to be a little rocky.
Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain and refused to even say if he supported the final bill.Never mind the fact that McCain took credit for passage of the bailout bill before it...well...actually...before it didn't pass:
Shortly before the vote, McCain had bragged about his involvement and mocked Sen. Barack Obama for staying on the sidelines.Ok...now you tell me...
"I've never been afraid of stepping in to solve problems for the American people, and I'm not going to stop now."
Who sounds more presidential?
And who sounds like an utter asshole?
