It is said that Bush wants to support the banks now, as much as he can; because Obama wouldn't do anything when he gets elected, even if doing nothing results in a depression.
Good question. Obama just doesn't portray himself as any type of business/finance person. He looks like someone who was groomed to be a career public person. They really don't do anything except talk about what other people actually make and do. Nothing with Obama defines him as a person of doing. McCain had a life before politics and then a few side ventures like Keating, marrying money, etc. Without a doubt Paulson could bs Obama, I suspect McCain would be a hard sell.
