"McCain, Obama stepped up pitches" by Scott Helman, Globe Staff | October 2, 2008
WASHINGTON - Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, whose earlier pleas to Congress to pass the $700 billion bailout bill fell short, stepped up their sales pitches to lawmakers and voters yesterday, urging support for a plan they contended was necessary to prevent an economic standstill.
The revised bill included at least one thing both candidates wanted - a provision raising the amount of bank customers' money insured by the federal government.
Seeking to underscore the importance of the bill, McCain and Obama each made campaign trail detours to Washington yesterday to cast their votes for the measure in the Senate, which passed the bill last night on a vote of 74 to 25.
Obama, speaking on the Senate floor before the vote [and] delivering a modified stump speech, implored his colleagues:
"Do what's right for the country. We can't afford to take the risk that the economy of the United States of America, and as a consequence the worldwide economy, could be plunged into a very, very deep hole."
He sounds JUST LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!
The vote came as new polls showed Obama widening his lead over McCain in critical battleground states. Campaigning in the Midwest earlier in the day, McCain and Obama offered dire warnings about what would happen if Congress failed to pass the bill, which the candidates deliberately referred to as a rescue, not a bailout.
Yeah, the WORD GAMES and PROPAGANDA have DEFINITELY GOTTEN TO ME!!! Yeah, FUCK the TRUTH, huh, MSM?!!!! That's why I AM LIVID and ANGRY today!!!!
McCain, like Obama, cast the risk of defeat in simple terms, saying a credit freeze would leave students unable to get college loans, families unable to get financing to buy a new home, and businesses without the cash to pay employees:
"If we fail to act, the gears of our economy will grind to a halt."
Yeah, here is why: U.S. Banks Driving Credit Crunch ON PURPOSE!!
Can you FEEL the FEAR based on LIES, AmeriKa? How does that YARD-LONG DILDO feel going up your ass?
The candidates' sales effort appeared to have gotten a bit easier since Monday's House vote, which helped prompt one of the biggest market selloffs in history.
Yeah, the DAMN BANKERS are MANIPULATING the MARKETS in an OBVIOUS EXTOTRTION ATTEMPT!!!!
Rather than jail 'em, LET'S HANG 'EM!!!!

Grab your ball bat, America, and LET'S ROLL!!!!!
Though the market later partly recovered, more Americans and lawmakers seemed to believe the consequences of inaction that the presidential candidates, leaders in Congress, and President Bush have articulated.
What a fucking damn LIE and INSULT!!!
FUCK YOU, MSM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama, speaking to more than 15,000 in La Crosse, Wis., said that the bailout package had been "poorly communicated," because many taxpayers do not realize that if the plan is well managed, they would get most or all of their money back once the economy recovers and the value of the government-bought assets increases, he said.
Oh, HE IS an CONDESCENDING ELITE SHITBAG after all!!
Yeah, WE DON'T UNDERSTAND getting RIPPED OFF because WE SO STOO-PID!!
Well, NOT STOO-PID enough to vote for you, 'bamer!!
FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"We might even turn a profit on the government's investment, every penny of which will go directly back to you, the investor," he said.
That is GEORGE W. BUSH TALKING!!!!!
Obama, invoking Franklin D. Roosevelt's pleas for unity and courage during the Great Depression, asked voters to look past, for now, their anger at Wall Street for getting the country into this mess and Washington politicians for allowing it. What matters now, he said, is swift action.
You mean, like on IRAQ?!! Just OVERLOOK TORTURE and LOOTING and MASS-MURDER, 'eh, 'bamer, you despicable piece of shit?!!!!
Yeah, "change" we can "believe" in!!!!!
"If your neighbor's home is burning you might grumble that they were always smoking in bed or leaving the stove on," he said. "But the first thing you want to do is make sure the fire's out so it doesn't spread to your house."
LET IT BURN, asshole!!!! Then they WON'T FORECLOSE on me and I will GET INSURANCE $$$!!!
He also reiterated his plan to impose a "financial stability fee" on some financial institutions once the economy has recovered, which he said would go into a fund to help pay for any irresponsible investment decisions they make in the future.
That is GOING NOWHERE and an OBAMA LIE because the MONEY MEN who call the shots will NOT LET THAT HAPPEN -- and their CONGRESSIONAL COCKSUCKERS wiil BLOCK any attempt, 'bamer, so FUCK YOU with a 2x4, shitter!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama acknowledged that the state of the economy and cost of the bailout might delay some of his campaign proposals, but he did not name any, instead ticking off a list of things - such as middle-class tax cuts - that he said were even more necessary in the current climate. --more--"
Translation: The AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRINCE and DARLING is blowing MORE SMOKE UP YOUR ASS!!!!
You are going to get WARS, BANKS and ISRAEL funded, America, and NOTHING ELSE no matter WHO is "president!"
Readers, I am at the point now where I don't know whom to vote for as President.
You know, maybe I'll just vote Nader -- for the THIRD TIME ('96, 2000)!!!!!
