McCain's smack down on Morning Joe

- Mika gets smacked by McCain. Good for him. She treated Hillary with disdain during the primaries. And while she mentions that her brother is working for McCain, she didn't mention that her father is an Obama advisor.



Here is more detail on what McCain is referring to

For Immediate Release
September 17, 2008

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, U.S.
Senator John McCain issued the following statement on the situation in the financial markets and AIG:

"Today, the government was forced to commit $85 billion to stop the collapse of AIG, another in a growing series of events that includes Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These actions stem from failed regulation, reckless management, and a casino culture on Wall Street that has crippled one of the most important companies in America. The focus of any such action should be to protect the millions of Americans who hold insurance policies, retirement plans and other accounts with AIG. We must not bailout the management and speculators who created this mess. They had months of warnings following the Bear Stearns debacle, and they failed to act.

"We should never again allow the United States to be in this position. We need strong and effective regulation, a return to job-creating growth and a restoration of ethics and the social contract between businesses and America. Important questions remain to be answered by Wall Street. Did executives mislead investors and regulators about the severity of the problem? We must investigate whether or not there was misrepresentation on part of the company executives. If there was, there must be penalties. We need to change the way Washington and Wall Street does business, and as President I will.
