John McCain
Fox and Friends
Interview

TRANSCRIPT:
News Alert: MCCAIN on NBC: Sarah Palin knows that Franklin Roosevelt didnt talk to the American people over television

Appearance Highlights:
GRETCHEN CARLSON: You voted yep?

JOHN MCCAIN: I not only did that I suspended my campaign was very helpful in getting the house republicans to the table

BRIAN KILMEADE: Barack Obama is gaining ever since this crisis

MCCAIN: Because life isnt fair [] He certainly did nothing in the first few days and as you know I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington and met with the house folks, got on the phones and also had face to face meetings. But look all I care about is getting this thing done. This is the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes

STEVE DOOCY: In a perfect world would this have been the bill you would have passed?

MCCAIN: I think there would have been some differences but fundamentally the changes after I came back but we certainly approved it from what it was and I think that it can do the job. But its like a turnicut, like a turnicut now we got to start fixing the wound.

KILMEADE: Word is Senator that youre a little upset with your own staff for holding on to her a too tight and maybe keeping her back a little bit and not letting her be the person that was displayed in Dayton and at the convention. Is that true?

MCCAIN: No, look you go through these things, sometimes you have certain techniques, you know briefings that work better with others, I think its very, we let Sarah be Sara [] I think Sarah Palin knows that Franklin Roosevelt didnt talk to the American people over television,

DOOCY: He was on the Internet wasnt he?

MCCAIN: but anyway a lot of this is just trivia, Sarah Palin is in a pizza parlor someone yells something at her and she kind of shouts back and Ah did you see what Sarah Palin said? Oh please, come on [] Frankly I wish that they had picked a moderator that isnt writing a book thats favorable to Barack Obama but I mean lets face it and, but I have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will treat this in a professional, as a professional journalist that she is

KILMEADE: If I was to look at your body language and I watched you debating Barack Obama I get the sense that you just dont think that he belongs in your arena, is that correct?

MCCAIN: Oh I think by virtue of the process he belongs in my arena but I can tell you I do not think he belongs as President of the United States

McCains answer about life isn't fair is the stupidest response to hear from a presidential candidate.

Secondly, we the american people aren't dumb and can see through McCain's eyes the reason he suspended his campaign last Thursday was a tactic so the presidential debate gets postponed so he can buy Sarah Palin more time. Sorry that didn't work out for him and the first bailout wasn't a success either!

As a former republican, I have decided to switch side and vote for Obama!

His laugh is evil.

John McCain is a total douche. Fox and Friends epic fail.

[OneWold]

Fox news must be the dumbest news organization on earth. I hate them jockies.

[2earth111]

She has more executive experience than all 3 of us put together? is he on drugs?

[mike4peace]

[Blackmilitant421]

Why does steve doocy have a job? You could pay me half that much and I would at least make sense.

[maser73]

Could Steve Douchy be any more of a wimpy little suck-up? What an idiotic, brown-nosing clown this guy is. Which Fox exec's salad did this guy have to toss to get his job?

[mattleroi]

So Mr Senator, how is it that you stay so super?

So Mr Senator, your campaign is like a wild stallion, how do you do it?
