Slab, McCain's heart is in the same place as his many buddies who are at the heart of the problem of deregulated banking. I guess there's a certain guilt by association there, even if it's due to McCain's ignorance of economics, which he does profess. It's not that Obama doesn't get it. He's smart enough to get it and probably does. However he's on a path of personal empire building too, and doing the right thing for the country would get in the way of that. That flaw is so deeply ingrained to members of both parties, just distributing the spoils to different interest groups. There is no "good guy" running in this election, but you probably already know that.
