It's A Matter Of Trustishness

October 7, 2008 | 9:08 PM

Q: How can we trust either of you with our money when both parties got us into this global economic crisis.

Obama: "I understand your frustration and your cynicism." Biggest increases in deficit spending. Sen. McCain voted for four out of five of those George Bush budgets. Deal with energy. Invest in college affordability.

McCain: "The system in Washington is broken, and I have been a consistent reformer." Worked across the aisle with Sen. Feingold on campaign finance reform, with Sen. Lieberman on immigration reform. "Sen. Obama has never taken on the leaders of his party on a single issue." Let's look at our records in addition to our rhetoric. Go to watchdog groups.

Points to Obama and says: "This is the most liberal, big-spending record in the United States Senate. ... You know that Sen. Obama is proposing 800B of new spending."
