McCain Camp Response to Obama Camp's Statements on National Catastrophe Fund

Please see our campaign's response to the Obama Campaign's statements attacking John McCain's opposition to a government-run national catastrophe fund:

“It's disappointing that for the second day in a row for Senator Obama has chosen to use natural catastrophes to launch political attacks -- that's not ‘change we can believe in.'  John McCain is opposed to a government-run National Catastrophe Fund, not because he doesn't have serious concerns about the cost of insurance in Florida, but because it ignores the need for private insurance reforms to broaden markets and protections against the cherry-picking of individual states.  John McCain earned Governor Crist's endorsement well after Senator McCain had articulated his position on this issue, because John McCain has the strength, experience and judgment to lead.” ---Tucker Bounds, spokesman John McCain 2008
