And again.

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said on Tuesday a $700 billion Wall Street rescue plan would likely delay some campaign spending promises, as the reality sank in of the costs of the mammoth bailout.

Obama, who faces Republican John McCain in their first face-to-face debate on Friday in Mississippi, said if elected he might have to phase in some of his plans such as an overhaul of the U.S. health care system

He does express caution, as any reasonable person would.  But it’s clear he’s for it, even admonishing his VP pick for speaking out against it.

Your article:

It is unclear what impact the plan would have on the U.S. budget, he said.

“Does that mean that I can do everything that I’ve called for in this campaign right away, probably not. I think that we are going to have to phase it in. A lot of it is going to depend on what our tax revenues look like,” Obama said.

Nope.  Don’t even think it.  Not the governor.  He has a job to do (God bless him and help keep him focused on governing and not on imposing his personal religious interpretations on the rest of us) while I’m just a moderate gadfly ... which in Louisiana they call “liberal.” --Faux Bobby Jindal

Want more articles booby?? Time after time he does express concern about the costs of both plans, even saying the bailout may delay his healthplan.  But nowhere does he oppose it.

Since your vision is so bad, would you prefer to hear it booby??

You also denied his “inflated tire” comment, until I gave you the link where you heard it.

Face it booby, your candidate is a dullard, a dunce, an empty suit.  He wants socialism with all it’s evils, including big government and huge taxes.

You didn’t say anything about him opposing the bailout.  You said “But obama not only supports the bailout, but the expensive healthcare also.”
What he actually says is that all programs have to wait until this is factored into the budget.  Now, as you know, it turns out Paulson has had the bailout plan in his office for some time, but is just releasing it to congress.  So whatever happens may not be as fast as they want it to be.

So he does support both the bailout and the expensive healthcare. fred is correct.

I think where he says we have to watch the budget, it means there may have to be modifications to make sure all programs undertaken are affordable.  That is perfectly sensible.  The long-range finances of the bailout are not predictable, and I think the Bushies could have done better on working with congress.

==============

The White House today is drumming up extraordinary pressure on Congress to approve its plan to enact a $700 billion mortgage bailout fund, suggesting the markets cannot wait much longer and dispatching Vice President Cheney and other top officials up Pennsylvania Avenue to jawbone lawmakers......

[White House Deputy Press Secretary Tony] Fratto said it would be “unthinkable” for Congress not to pass legislation this week, asserting the result would be a “very, very serious situation” for the U.S. economy.......

Fratto insisted that the plan was not slapped together and had been drawn up as a contingency over previous months and weeks by administration officials. He acknowledged lawmakers were getting only days to peruse it, but he said this should be enough.
