Obama should bring up Phil Graham in the last debate, and how he was
mccain financial advisor, and much of what graham did, laid the foundation for the financial meltdown we have today

3. Absolutely. I cannot see anyway mccain will be able to defend graham
at best he could say Clinton signed the legislation, but that is only a distraction. The fact remains that mccain supported that deregulation, and had gramham as his financial consultant

Obama wasn't even in the picture

As one of Keith's guests said tonight, if McNuts has a list of
associates of Obama's he wants to slam, Barack has his OWN LIST to counter those accusations. I guess it's all fun for us to play advisors, the Obama campaign has been doing a fantastic job smacking McNuts and I'm positive they will continue to do so!

2. I've hoped that OB could take advantage of the P+WG
connection, but subject may be too deep; need some time to explain extent and nature of their evil.

4. Bill Clinton signed the bill and blamed our party on video.

How do you battle that. The truth is what matters now that people's 401k's are down 35 to 45%, not politics. yes, Barney Frank did protect Fannie & Freddy from more regulation. Yes he & Chris Dodd got a ton of money from Fannie & Freddie PACS and employees. Yes Franklin Raines did receive tens of millions in bonuses that were based on mortgage VOLUME as opposed to mortgage quality. Yes banks were under the gun to make mortgages to people that were not qualified or face investigations for alleged descrimination.

5. How do you battle that, phil graham was mccains financial advisor, not Obamas
mccain voted for that legislation, NOT Obama

mccain's entire record is of deregulation, NOT Obama

That is how you defend it

Clinton is not Obama
