http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/10/10/mccain-camp-intensifies-personal-attacks-on-obama/

He fails to understand that people are angry at corrupt practices in Washington and Wall Street and he fails to understand that America’s working families are not ‘clinging’ to anything other than the sincere hope that Washington will be reformed from top to bottom.”
