John McCain's new slogan: "Suck it up, America '08"

John McCain explains to this toddler that it's time to "man up."

The day after Hillary Clinton called for federal intervention, including a $30 billion fund to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, John McCain put out his own plan.

"It is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers."
