McCain Reacts to Obama's Speech

John McCain noted that Obama is sticking to his 'Blame it on Bush' routine.

Obama's reliance on that tactic really is getting pathetic. "Before I walked in the door...." Obama has to man up and take responsibility.

McCain also slammed Obama for inviting the Republicans to get involved with health care reform when they've been shut out of the process by the Dems.

I think McCain is correct to point out how silly it is for Obama to say the problem of earmarks is taken care of thanks to a web page.

And of course, Obama contradicts himself by promising a freeze on spending and then proposing a massive jobs bill (AKA second stimulus bill).

JOHN McCAIN: What we're hearing tonight is the 'BIOB.' Let's call it that from now on: 'Blame it on Bush.' Whatever has gone wrong, let's blame it on Bush. And I think the people of Massachusetts last Tuesday pretty well rejected that line of conversation.

And you just mentioned, a couple of things real quick, he asked the Republicans to be involved in health care. We would love to be involved in health care. We never have been, and we have lots of proposals. I've talked about them with you on this show: malpractice reform, going across state lines, etc., etc.

But the earmarking one was also interesting in that we've now solved the problem of earmarking by going to a web page.

And finally again, if you freeze for next year, that can cut about $15 billion. In the same breath practically, he called for another, quote, jobs bill, which would be somewhere between $82- and $115 billion additional to the deficit.
