Candidates Bailout on Bailout

By Mark:

Congress is on Capital Hill this week laying out the framework for a $700 billion bailout plan for the U.S. financial system.

Two notable senators are not present this week however. Both John McCain and Barack Obama have remained on the campaign trail rather than returning to Washington to help with this major crisis.

What’s even better is that they both have the egos to tell the media and those at campaign rallies that they know how to fix the problem, they have the right solution. Beyond that, they have both said that there are flaws with the current bailout plan. So if they have the solution and know that Congress’ solution needs work, why aren’t they in Washington sharing their expertise?

Both McCain and Obama preach about how they will always do what’s best for America and will bring change to this country. I’d say they both seem to be looking out for themselves rather than the American people right now.

Even Hillary Clinton is letting her ego shine throughout this all. Clinton is now saying that she saw this coming a long time ago and warned people. She was campaigning for a year, did you hear her warn of this? I sure didn’t.
