When the “Wall Street Meltdown” hit on Monday, John Sith McCain reverted to his natural center-left instincts and started spouting “me-too” Donk populism and pandered to their inevitable fearmongering. Barack Obama and Joe Biden reflexively b…

Why, oh why haven’t we seen a commercial making the same points McCain made in this speech? “I’ve been trying for years to get Congress to act on Fannie and Freddie — while Obama has just been collecting their money, more than all but one other Senator even in his short tenure in office.” Or whatever will fit in a 30-second TV ad and some longer Internet ads. Given the media’s bias, what’s said in a speech isn’t going to reach a wide enough audience.

I see a real strong “fox guarding the henhouse” theme developing that could actually help McCain. He needs to take it there, and tag Dodd, Frank and Obama’s advisors as the proverbial “fox”. In so doing he also inoculates himself in the process against the temptation of Obama to try and smear *him* as the “fox”.

Well the bad news is Obama has now mocked McCain and said why stop at Cox let’s fire the whole Republican administration. Including McCain.

Yep, and I suppose that’s always a risk in this type of situation – that your opponent will try to make this kind of argument against your entire party. Luckily for McCain there’s a jujitsu remedy here.

McCain has got to tie Obama to this debacle hard and fast or he is going to lose this thing. Obama is getting mean and scared people like mean.

Especially effective is a redirect of Obama’s righteous indignation right back onto himself: “If you’re so outraged, why didn’t you and your cronies do anything about it *before* now? You all could’ve, and yet you didn’t. Instead, you got in *my* way.”

Perfect. Leads right into the “fox guarding the henhouse” meme: would you send Obama and his Freddie/Fannie advisors to guard Washington? Didn’t think so.

While I’m no fan of George Soros I respect his understanding of markets. I’ve just started his new book and find it to be interesting and timely.

The New Paradigm For Financial Markets:
The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means
George Soros

His description of the exotic instruments, the role of the Fed and use of leverage strikes me as being spot on as it relates to the underlying and systemic problems we are facing.

He may come from hell
Or maybe just from somewhere around the dell

But he will be here and he will be there
You could see him most anywhere

He meddles with your Circle Revolution
Popping in and out throughout each week
Spoiling every mob elocution
Ah, what cheek!

Ed, I know you and McCain want to try to blame this all on Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac but the truth is different (although they deserve part of the blame).

What killed Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and AIG were credit swaps, credit guarantees and collateralized debt obligations. Yes, they were generally tied to residential and commercial real estate and yes, the housing bubble and resulting pop were to some degree caused by the FM’s, but no one forced the investment banks and AIG to go out and sell those products on a 20:1+ leveraged basis.

No one from outside those companies had the ability to monitor or otherwise oversee the risk they had taken on or to monitor the amount of cushion the firms had in case things went south. And when Hank Paulson proposed a plan last spring to try to get a handle around those things, Bush didn’t want to hear it.

P.S. About 95% of Obama’s political contributions apparently came from individual employees at the FMs, rather than the FM’s Political Action Committee. I don’t think Ford Motors, for instance, is responsible for the contributions made by their employees, so I’m not sure why the Fannies should be responsible for the political contributions made by their employees.
