Daily Kos has a fun point, Wow, Sarah Palin is a Quick Study.
"Just a few days ago, Sarah Palin didn't seem to know what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were...and today she's co-authored [with McCain] an opinion piece on the historic role of Congress with the two lending institutions, how she will see to their restructuring and downsizing, and reforming the entire mortgage and financial markets. Amazing."
And let's not forget, McCain is no economic expert either.
Ok, so they had staffers and advisors write it. Fair enough. What does it say?
"For years, Congress failed to act and it is deeply troubling that what we are now seeing is an exercise in crisis management rather than sound planning, and at great cost to taxpayers."
And who was in charge of Congress for years?
"We promise the American people that our administration will be different. We have long records of standing up to special interests and providing the leadership to change government and make it more accountable to the American taxpayer."
It wasn't special interests that wanted to remove government oversight, it was the GOP.
The rest gets a little better but not much. Robert Scheer writes more in the Huffington Post.
