McCain Calls Hillary Clinton For Economic Advice

[McCCain4retirment]

On Sept. 24, Hillary Rodham Clinton received a surprise phone call from the man she's often denounced as an economic know-nothing: John McCain.

This was no social call, even though Clinton likes McCain enough to keeps his photo on the wall of her Senate office. The GOP nominee had already chatted with Bill Clinton about the mortgage crisis and wanted to pick the senator's brain about her new proposal to have the federal government buy up bad mortgages and renegotiate terms more favorable to homeowners on verge of default.

"McCain said he had been motivated by it, he was very complimentary about what she had proposed and wanted to know more," said a person with knowledge of the call.

Clinton responded coolly: "She didn't engage him, she just said, 'Thank you' and heard him out."

7. It's just a desperate ploy

to pander to Hillary supporters and everyone else who remembers the good ole Clinton years. He wants to make it seems as if he and the Clintons are working together on economic issues. I am glad she didn't engage him. How transparent.
