Default Let's play a game...

Guess which candidate said it:

"That's the reason why we have governments, to help those who need help, who can't help themselves, and in a time of crisis, to step in and do what's necessary to preserve the lives and futures of innocent people. It wasn't Main Street America that caused this; it was Washington and Wall Street."

Hmm it could be either right? I know it's McCain with his Roosevelt complex.

Indeed, it could be either. There was some discussion of socialism in the article, if that helps you guess.
