If I have to handle much more of this straight-talk, I think I might puke.
NEW YORK - Republican Sen. John McCain called for federal aid for well-meaning homeowners who can’t pay their mortgages, an attempt to fend off criticism that he has been indifferent to the housing crisis and the market upheaval it has spawned.
The likely GOP presidential nominee sketched out a plan Thursday to help 200,000 to 400,000 homeowners trade burdensome mortgages for manageable loans in a speech in Brooklyn, N.Y. Aides said the plan could cost from $3 billion to $10 billion.
McCain, you might remember, was busy all last week and the week before telling foreclosing homebuyers how stupid, lazy, and greedy they were for buying their homes in the first place.
Then--this is all shortly after applauding the Fed bailout of Bear Stearns, mind you--politely told them they could go fuck themselves.
Seems that didn't go over too well, did it, Johnny?
