| | Obama is wrong to cite what is stated in this quote as the reason for our current housing crisis. Besides the issue of government giving instead of letting us all keep what we earn, government didn't "give more and more to those with the most" -- government gave more to those with the least (as in those with the least credit) in order to cause this very problem!
Of course, this doesn't let McCain off of the hook, because he says that the problem was caused by having too long of a leash on greedy corporations -- as if corporations were these things that are supposed to be (like dogs) kept on leashes in the first place. McCain doesn't challenge the anti-capitalist notions and attitudes, he plays on them like a harp -- which will eventually bring this country down.
Only libertarians like me (e.g. Ron Paul, Tibor Machan, John Stossel, Bob Barr, etc) truly "put country first" -- in the most meaningful and moral sense of those terms.

For over two decades, [McCain has] subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy — give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.
