Obama Takes Full Credit For Bailout, Claims McCain Did Nothing
// September 29th, 2008 // 2 Comments » // Featured Articles
We’ve all been there. You’re at a staff meeting with the boss and as he goes around the room asking for ideas, the guy sitting next to you not only announces your idea to the boss, but takes credit for it as his own. The guy sitting next to you might be Obama.
During a recent interview Obama said that McCain deserves no credit for the tentative bailout, but of course Obama does. The new bill includes safeguards for taxpayers, increased oversight, relief for homeowners facing foreclosure and limits on executive compensation for chief executives of firms that receive government help.
Obama Taking The Credit:
“None of those were in the president’s provisions. They are identical to the things I called for the day that Secretary Paulson released his package. That I think is an indication of the degree to which when it comes to protecting taxpayers, I was pushing very hard and involved in shaping those provisions.”
Does anyone else sense a bit of arrogance from Obama? To insinuate that McCain did nothing is insulting enough, but then he tops the accusation by claiming that he himself did everything. What will Obama’s next miracle be?
