Barack Obama, “Mr. ‘Present,’” may not know enough to cast a vote most of the time, but he doesn’t need no stinkin’ commission to get to the bottom of all the shaky financial products and greedy financial players that combined to trash the American investment economy:
Campaigning in the critical battleground state of Colorado, Obama said,
“This isn’t 9/11. We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out. I’ll provide it. John McCain won’t.”
Meanwhile, leader of Dem congressional incompetency NanPo has her own ideas:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered a broad, swift investigation of Wall Street and will demand testimony from Bush administration officials and captains of finance, congressional officials said.
House Democrats plan to aggressively look at the administration’s role in the meltdown over the weekend and to explore further regulation and government structures that would be taken up under the new president.
So, Dems, which is it? Do we know what’s going on and are already all set to push the blame onto the GOP, or do we need hearings – in effect a commission held by congress – to push the blame onto the GOP? The truth: Obama is lying saying things the MSM should dig into but won’t. His party wants to investigate, wants to dig into the mess, wants to do the work of a commission, but he doesn’t want to call for a commission because it wouldn’t be unbalanced enough for him. And worse, it might take time. With congressional hearings in a Dem-controlled Congress, he’ll be able to count on results that will damage McCain coming out in late October or very early in November.
And therein is the Dem deviousness. Obama can scoff at McCain’s call for a commission, all the while hiding behind NanPo, who does the dirty work of calling for another Dem kangaroo court.
Which of the three solutions sound best to you: Obama’s head-fake towards no study, NanPo’s Star Chamber, or McCain’s commission?
