Pink Slip 'em

John McCain called for the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be fired for this mess. Here's what Obama said:

"I think that's all fine and good but here's what I think. In the next 47 days you can fire the whole trickle-down, on-your-own, look-the-other way crowd in Washington who has led us down this disastrous path.

"Don't just get rid of one guy. Get rid of this administration," he said. "Get rid of this philosophy. Get rid of the do-nothing approach to our economic problem and put somebody in there who's going to fight for you."

The last couple of days Obama has had the tightest, crispiest lines of the whole campaign.

The funny? The SEC head had previously announced that he would skulk out of town, er, resign when Bush leaves office....

The real funny is that as Prez McCain can appoint the SEC head but he can't fire him.
