McCain Calls Hillary Clinton For Economic Advice

Politico:

On Sept. 24, Hillary Rodham Clinton received a surprise phone call from the man she's often denounced as an economic know-nothing: John McCain.

This was no social call, even though Clinton likes McCain enough to keeps his photo on the wall of her Senate office. The GOP nominee had already chatted with Bill Clinton about the mortgage crisis and wanted to pick the senator's brain about her new proposal to have the federal government buy up bad mortgages and renegotiate terms more favorable to homeowners on verge of default.

"McCain said he had been motivated by it, he was very complimentary about what she had proposed and wanted to know more," said a person with knowledge of the call.

Clinton responded coolly: "She didn't engage him, she just said, 'Thank you' and heard him out."

Since BHO and HRC are pretty much in agreement on the economy, would it be fair to say the Mac calls BHO for advice on the economy?

I wonder if she drew a fake moustache on his photo with a Sharpie while he was in the process of telling her all about his wonderfulness-ness?

I thought the PITBULL was the CEO and he went to her for advice why didnt he go to her. She is spreading wealth in Alaska so clearly she must know something about the economy so why not go to her.

I hope she gave bad advice. Like raise taxes on everyone and use a permanent war as Keynesian stimulus to the economoy.

Is that where McCain got his crappy mortgage buy-back plan? Funny, I used to do the same thing to kids in school who were at the bottom of the class and asked my for answers to questions. I gave them the wrong one!

Nice, Hil.

[Whinger]

Hillary's advice was, have a chat with "That One" he's the man!

[aubrey8]

Well McCain set himself up pretty good there.

When you're asking the other Party for advice on the economy and the economy is the main issue I'd say you look a little weak in that department John.

Maybe he should pack it in and just let the Democrats fix it like they did in the 90's.

[iPolitics]

Bet he mentions it today.

John McCain, Politician Before Country

He probably will.

McCain: "I called Hillary Clinton to discuss the economy."

Obama: "I called Hillary Clinton to thank her for campaigning for me."

[zoozey]

Maybe Hillary treated him "cooly" because she finally found out how he used Chelsea as the punchline to a joke back in 1998....

[marasgram18]

why is he still her friend? out of respect for my child who was used to be humiliated that would have ended our relationship. why does she still have his picture on her wall? Poor Chelsea

Jim Cramer: "Obama is a Recession. McCain is a DEPRESSION!"

What will New York look like a year from now? The answer: bad and probably worse, and perhaps downright catastrophic. Three degrees of awful. The first step was passing the bank-bailout legislation. Now that it’s done—and if it didn’t get done we would have been looking at a guaranteed economic collapse—the critical issue will be presidential leadership. And while any president will be an improvement over the current one, there is a growing belief on Wall Street that Barack Obama has the capacity to lead us out of this wilderness while John McCain does not. I’ll go a step further: Obama is a recession. McCain is a depression.

All Politics are LOCAL.

Every single Republican & GOP McBush candidate on the down ticket during this election cycle must be voted down or out of office.
