That Was Quick

It took less than 24 hours for Obama to pounce on McCain's little gotcha suggesting that changes in banking be applied to healthcare. Obama went after him full bore this morning:

"So let me get this straight -- he wants to run health care like they've been running Wall Street," Obama told the audience. "Well, Senator, I know some folks on Main Street who aren't going to think that's such a good idea."

On Social Security, Obama said, McCain's support for privatization would leave senior citizens at risk at a time when the stock market has plummeted. "I know Senator McCain is talking about a 'casino culture' on Wall Street -- but the fact is, he's the one who wants to gamble with your life savings and that is not going to happen when I'm president of the United States."

Ready for the "Health Care Crash"? :)

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

Oops! Well, we can't expect publishers to keep up with McCain's daily policy flip-flops, can we...
