Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton took a swipe at Republican rival John McCain, who today outlined his plan to address current home foreclosure trends, a plan that features tax credits and help with refinancing mortgages.

"Just two weeks ago, Senator McCain said he'd rather do nothing than something about the housing crisis and attacked my plan with tired right-wing talking points," Clinton said. "Today, it looks like he's proposing a warmed over, half-hearted version of the very plan he criticized, to help families restructure mortgages to save homes and keep housing prices from falling further.

Giving further play to her 3 a.m. phone call ad, Clinton continued:

"Apparently, Senator McCain got the message: letting the phone simply ring and ring is not the way to respond to economic crises. So now he's changed positions and is finally responding to a housing crisis that has been going on for months, but unfortunately his actions are only half-measures."
