Obama said the US was in the worst crisis since the Depression and added that he had personally warned about the approaching disaster. McCain laid out a plan to buy up bad mortgages in the United States and renegotiate loans to ensure people caught in the foreclosure crunch could keep their homes. The debate also touched on foreign policy. Obama rebuked McCain for saying he wanted to attack Pakistan and over his vow to hit Al-Qaeda targets in the country. McCain cited the maxim that the United States should "talk softly, but carry a big stick".
