John McCain Wants Obama To Succeed
John McCain Wants Obama To Succeed – John McCain spoke to politico today where he revealed that he wants Obama to succeed and shared his thoughts on the collapsing American economy.Here are the highlights of the interview.
On Obama:
“These are terrible, perilous times, so I will seek ways to work with the president of the United States,” McCain says in an interview. “I don’t want him to fail in his mission of restoring our economy.”
On the economic crisis :
“We’re pouring billions and billions of dollars into (banks) with not only no improvement, but their stocks continue to plummet,” . “I think we have been pursuing the wrong strategy.”
“There is no clear message,” “They’re just sort of lurching from one crisis to another, and that’s the perception the American people have.”
“Only under circumstances which are vastly different from what they are doing now,” he says. “They would have to present a blueprint that not only convinces me but frankly that convinces the Warren Buffetts and the Jack Welches … people we would look up to who are experts who would say this plan will work. We don’t hear that.”“Clearly, their policies are evolving,” “I was supportive of their housing proposal. I didn’t think it went far enough, but I was supportive of that.”
“It’s the housing crisis that started this conflagration, and it will be the stabilization of home values that stops it.”“We both campaigned on change. That was the president’s promise,” “Now they’re saying this is last year’s business.”
On the spending bill:
“There are no similar circumstances to the circumstances we are facing now since the Great Depression.” “I strongly disagree that you can compare 2003 and 2009 in any way.”
On earmarks:
“I see it lurching completely out of control. I continue to see it breeding corruption.”
“Yes, I’m angry. If someone doesn’t appreciate that anger or think there’s something wrong with it, I respect their opinion. But it makes me angry, because I know how hard people work to pay their taxes, and this is corruption.”
On wanting to talk about earmarks with the White House and Joe Biden :
“I said I’ll be available any time, any place of your choosing,” . “I haven’t heard from him since.”
“Loyal opposition in my mind means loyal, but it also means opposition where you have fundamental philosophical disagreements.”
“We are at a crucial time in America’s history, the question of whether our economy will survive — I think there’s a lot of common ground driven by this overwhelming issue of America’s economy, which motivates me to work with the president and seek out ways that I can work with the president. Not to have them seek me out, but I seek them out and try.”
