Comments about ‘McCain says he would fire SEC Chairman Chris Cox’

So McCain would solve problems by firing someone. It's always easier to find a scapegoat. Looks like he is learning new behaviors from Sarah.

I'm still waiting for the Obama campaign to bring up McCain as a member of the Keating 5, and his involvement in the savings and loan scandal. The Democrats should go for the jugular, just like the Republicans do.

Chris Cox is exactly the reason why Washington needs a shake-up.

The fact of the matter is: Bush has gotten way too liberal, and Obama is just more of the same.

This country needs change, and McCain and Palin will bring that.

Bailing out AIG is another example of socialism. Obama/Bush must go.

McCain/Palin'08

Obortion says raising taxes and flying a russian flag is not such a bad idea? McCain will win Utah and the Presidency!

sounded like he is very confident that he is going to be the next President...

If you want to explain the financial market turmoil from Obama, you want his explanation, he just points his skinny finger of blame at President Bush, which is simplistic. This whole campaign issue-wise is simplistic. Now, let's review a little history here. Long before the subprime crisis, the Bush administration not only warned of impending calamity, they had a plan to avert it. Fannie Mae, under the leadership of Clinton appointee Franklin Raines, who's now an Obama insider, economic advisor, and Freddie Mac, had issued over one-and-a-half trillion dollars in loans, but their accounting was in shambles. Central to Bush's proposal was creating a new agency to oversee Fannie and Freddie. Why do we need somebody to oversee Fannie and Freddie? Why do we need somebody to oversee every damn government program? Why do we need somebody to oversee every government operation? Why do we need a blue ribbon commission to handle base closings? Why do we have a blue ribbon commission to find fraud in Medicare? Because they all are fraudulent, because they all are financial sifts.

McCain is either a demogogue or just plain stupid. The SEC is an independent agency and McCain couldn't just fire Cox. And who is McCain to talk? He was an active supporter of the legislation that deregulated the financial services industry. His economic advisors include many of the same people who put us in this mess, including Phil Gramm. Of all the candidates in this election cycle, McCain is the least credible on this issue.
