Compare and Contrast

From Jed of the eponymous Report:

The responses of Barack Obama and John McCain to the economic crisis today tells you all you need to know about the choice in this election.

One the one hand, in Barack Obama we've got a statesman who wants to work together to get things done for all Americans. On the other hand, in John McCain we've got a yipping little dog (apologies to canine lovers everywhere) who will tear anything down to get ahead.

Here's a short video I put together to illustrate the contrast:

(alt. video link)

Never fails to amaze me when a guy who has been in Congress for close to thirty years can't think come up with anything better than blaming "Washington."

The Obama response I posted earlier probably has something to do with the McCain bits you see here.

Just out of interest, just what is McCain referring to with comments like Obama "gaming the system" and contributing to the problem?

And not that the answer is likely to make sense, but how can it be reconciled in light of earlier McCain comments about Obama's inexperience?

OK so I just caught ninety seconds, and it seems that these questions are mostly answered by Obama himself, at least in the (entirely reasonable) form of ridiculing the questions. But still, is there any justification to McCain's accusations?
