"We will have a debate. We have been trying to debate Senator Obama for six months! We've done everything but kidnap the guy." —-LINDSEY GRAHAM, (R) SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
Sen. Lindsey Graham Calls on Democrats to Put Financial Crisis First
This is a rush transcript from "America's Election HQ," September 24, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRAHAM: What Senator McCain thinks has to happen soon is a solution that is not a statement, but becomes legislation to solve what Warren Buffett, an Obama supporter, said was a "financial Pearl Harbor." Chairman Bernanke, Secretary Paulson, and Warren Buffett, and many other people have told us all that if we don't act quickly, financial institutions in this country would begin to fail next week, the availability of credit will be almost nonexistent, and that is more important to Senator McCain to solve this problem in the next few days than having a debate on foreign policy.
The country needs a solution to a problem that may affect every American savings, ability to borrow money, and buy a house and go to school. And we can have the foreign policy debate next week.
[John K. Matyi] We have been hearing about this for days, but I think the SC senator puts in words that we need to hear. No spin, just action.
