Obama's core vulnerability - he's predictable.

Who? Oh yeah…McCain the presumptive Republican nominee…LOL. Sen. Obama has shown time and time again how he understands the economy; his speech in Philadelphia on the economy was one of the best articulated on the issue so far this race.

If you think for one minute McCain is going to hurt Cindy's beer business profit, think again. McCain is too old and too out of touch with average Americans. He's been in Washington too long and is part of the economic problems our country faces. Vote democrat.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"The special interests should not be dictating this policy."

Coming from someone who has lobbyists as campaign staff, I find this hard to believe.

Mccain economic plan is 100 more yrs of George dubya failed economic policies!

Wait… be patient…
Soon Obama will give a brilliant speech on the economy… which will be built up by the media as the best speech EVER and one for the history books. And he will be given free airtime to do it.

Cuz he is just special.

I miss Clinton already.

Obama speaks out of both sides of his mouth- on everything.

That is why he can't debate.

McCain is out to lunch and out of touch with what is going on. Living in eight homes, a US senator for 25 years, he looks like a tourist.

==The primary race is over for Clinton, convention or no convention It's time to focus on George Bush the Third!==

ya know McCain is funny. How is it a person who doesn't really understand about the ecoonomy tells someone they don't?

he must didn't read that the two winners of the Nobel prize for economics prefer Obama's economic plan over both Clinton and McCain.

I like your header for the story CNN….

McCain TARGETS Obama on economic issues….

Should have read,

McCain the war lord TARGETS Obama

How are we going to stay at war for another 100 years and give Americans tax cuts? Oh, you are going for the $20 trillion deficit mark aren't you McSame. This man is ridiculous.

Leave Obambi alone.

Don't parse his words.

He said he would not raise CG tax, but what he really mean't was… he would.

Just like he is going to withdraw from Iraq… but may be he won't.

Or he will kill Nafta, but no he will only renegotiate.

Obama is dead in the water.

Hillary is the only one.

Its going to be an easy win. If you look at what he has voted for and what he wasn't even present for to vote. If people were voting on substance vs race or gender then it might be more difficult

John McCain clearly hasn't learned the rules.

You can not target Obama on any issue.

Or risk the race card being played.

Just look at the battered Clintons, who dared to campaign against the great Obama. Soon they were criticized just for breathing.

Obama, on the other hand can play dirty and the media will pretend he is rising above the fray.

This coming from a man who by his own admission knows nothing about economics?

Mccain, go retire quietly somewhere with whatever dignity you have left and leave the economy and the country in the hands of knowledgeable people.

A tax break on gas. Doesn't Mcbush understand most of the low income workers don't have a car. Man is this guy out of touch.

When we questioned Bush, we were called unpatriotic.

When we question Obama we are called racists.

John, I hope the media doesn't hate you or you will be killed by the great Obama bandwagon as it rolls over everyone of differing opinions.

Look out here comes the uniter….duck.

Wait until he appears at a rally without his pants,
or
forgets where he left the keys to his wife's jet,
or
until all the "misstatement" and "senior moment" that he has had is put out there for public viewing.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Where are the hoops?

Obama needs to unwind.

Then he will write a speech on the issue- and settle the matter once and for all.

If you are not duly impressed… then you are a racist.

Spin, spin, spin… Are these guys just not capable of being forthright and honest?

And some even want Sen. Clinton as POTUS?

Are you kidding me?

Is this a joke?

We need a Ron Paul for the Democratic party. Sen. Obama is a step forward, but only and incremental step.

Wait until he appears at a rally without his pants,
or
forgets where he left the keys to his wife's jet,
or
until all the "misstatement" and "senior moment" that he has had is put out there for public viewing.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

McCain is just silly.

John, you are now the new hillbilly.

Bow down before the great Obama.

He is perfect and can make no mistakes.

Ask Hillary.

McCain needs to focus on raising money since he seems to have issues there and stop trying to go after the one candidate that actually knows what it is like to be poor and barely get by.

To target Obama, McCain need 101 lesson on the Economy, instead of the usual clueless yo yo contradictory stands he's running with on a weekly basis.

McCain is kind of right.

McCain criticizes Obama on the economy…..now THAT'S funny!!

McCain can't target anyone on a subject he knows nothing about. Great job, CNN? I know where you are headed.

Agree with Mac 100%

I challenge the media to find one economist not politically affiliated who thinks getting rid of the gas tax is either a good idea or will provide more benefits to consumers than the gas companies? Really, the media needs to start doing its job.

Give me a break. McCain. You had better stop this type of banter or I won't vote for you if Hillary gets the democratic nod. I will have to go independent.

So both McCain and Clinton want Clinton to win.

What McCain is saying: You people who are struggling with high gas prices are too stupid to recognize how silly my $28 proposal really is. He's the real elitist.

Unfortunately it's Dumb and Dumber between these 2, or is it Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

A man who's perfectly willing to go on wasting trillions of dollars on a war that's likely the principle cause of rising gas prices is in no position to criticise anyone about "economic issues."

An ecomony dumby has the GALLs to call Obama insensitive to poor people when he voted against healthcare for low income families.
**What a JOKE???***

McCain… You're an idiot.

McBush is at it again. Senility is not pretty.

"and the special interests should not be dictating his policy"
What an empty accusation. What is even he referring to?

Bush tax cuts for your wife old man? The economy route is not going to work for you.

Please, McCain. You married up and now want to judge if someone is out of touch on economic issues. When's the last time YOU actually had to shop for anything for yourself?

Man so much for the "civil debate" McCain said he was looking forward too. He's going on the attack already.

FLORIDA DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN OR HILLARY

THANKS TO NOBAMA SILENCE

McCain, did you think of the poor whiley ou were seated in your own private jet that was headed towards one of your many homes?

McCain, I hope you finally bought a good economics book. Remember you said that you knew very little about economy?

To Comment!! you Have to Praise…. Or don't comment… Obama will not be, never be… Only an illusionative Mesiah..

Hey McCain: The special interests WANT you to cut taxes on fuel so they can sell more of it, not the other way around. You weren't kidding when you said you knew NOTHING about economics, but not even basic supply and demand?

CALL HIM OUT OBAMA ON HIS LACK OF ECONOMIC KNOWLEDGE!

READ LA TIMEs OBAMA HAS BEEN CAUGHT LAUNDERING MONEY

McCain is so lackluster. He can't answer questions but instead criticizes. I can't wait until the Democrats finish up their petty squabble and go after him.

Look who is talking! The one who wants to maintain or extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich!

I wonder why McCain is not attacking Hillary. Could it be they have the same ideology. Obama has to run against Hillary and McCain and you dare to say he isn't tough enough. He's tough enough. Obama 08

Why McCain always attack Obama and not Hillary? Is it because he knows with Hillary big baggage if she is the nominee it will be easier to show her weaknesses?
Same thing with the GOP in N.C. with their ad. the definitely would prefer Hillary to be the nominee.
It has been well spread that she is working for 2012, if it is true she will surprise of the results. We will be all there waiting for her by not voting or by changing our affiliation and I do believe the african american will do the same.

from what I understand, the tax in question helps fix our roads. Take that tax away and more repairs on the card. Bit more expensive in the long run and some construction crews now doubt would be laid off. Lotta help that'll do.

To suspend the tax on fuel???? O.K, how in the world is that going to work??? Yeah, he needs more explaining on that……

That's right: McCain speaks their language; all the poor people borrowing their spouses' jets know he relates perfectly to them.

Obama complains about the attack ads from Clinton…………but then he attacks McCain???

Does he think he should have it 'both ways'???

He lacks experience. And lost votes after he rudely spoke to the people of Pennsylvania.

Strongely for Clinton

Since when John McCain or the GOP cares for the "Little Guy," he is talking about gas tax cut, pennies. The action and activities of the leaders of the GOP - especially the present administration - is directly responsible for oil price to have increased three folds in the last six years. That is only a small portion of the consequences of their actions, the War in Iraq, the support for the production of "Bio-Diesel" - an economic and environmental nightmare - like the wars they are all knee jerk reaction, with significant "Special Interest Benefits." We will see food and basic commodities doubled in the next few years - cost, cost, cost…transportation, processing, labour, raw materials etc…I know that Sen. Obama understands the magnitude of the mess he will be inheriting - hope he has the support of all parties in Washington - because this is not just for Democrats, Republicans, or Americans, this will definitely affect all of humanity, globally - the cost of food and basic commodities is disproportionately felt by the poor and disenfranchised ( Simple put increase of $50.00/ week will be felt more by someone earning $100 or less/ week than someone earning $1000/week). John McCain like most of the leaders of the GOP cannot relate to $50.00/week for food and basic commodities per household! Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

McCain: "a little bit of relief so they can travel a little further and a little longer."

So, we save them 40 cents/gallon so they can travel farther and longer and end up spending more money in the end? I hope the public actually listens to what these politicians say, because none of it makes sense.

"McCain rapped his Democratic rival for opposing his idea to suspend the tax on fuel during the summer, a proposal that McCain believes will particularly help low-income people who usually have older cars that guzzle more gas."

You got to be kidding me!! What kind of logic is this!! From a possible President!!

God save us from John McCain.

What did he say, Hey Barack, I know more about economic issues than you do, you don't believe me just look at my cam-pain

I'm glad at least HE realizes that Obama will be his opponent in the Fall. Too bad Hillary hasn't gotten that memo yet. I just love a multi-millionaire who supports W's tax policy that helps the rich get richer. Him calling our Obama for not thinking of "low income families" is a joke.

What John McCain MIGHT have been true, except that part of the 100M people invest through 401K's and other retirement vehicles, which are tax-free anyway.

McCain's proposals are RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! America is falling apart because of neglect and he keeps talking about "small government"!!!! What is 0.18cents a gallon going to do?????????

hey mccain, you said you believe we're are better off after 7 years of Bush reign?

Keep harping on that tune,

so no one has any illusion that you're some kind of maverick that the corporate media make out of you.

McCain is an asinine old fart. Senator Obama knows the issues and will discuss the issues with him at the debates in the fall.

Obama 08

The words coming from a Republican in office OUT OF TOUCH.

When are we going to take back our goverment?

Obama 08

sounds like a lot of potical b s when would his gas tax saving take place now or a year or more down the road?????? talk abount some
one out of touch with the world if he didnt sound so stupid it would be funny

Mccain keeps forgetting his wife has a private jet, that flies over these poor people. What a joke!!

As if the federal tax on gas being suspended temporarily, will help Americans fuel their auto's. (I was born on a SATURDAY but not last saturday)!!! GET REAL. BUSHWACKED old man.

what else would expect from a Bush clone?Every thing is legal under this regime.

McCain is an idiot. This is coming from a guy who wanted to ride out the economy, and now changes his stances.

He's a disgrace, and since I'm an independent who would have voted for Huckabbe, I'll be glad when this idiot goes down.

McSame is a complete inept!

Obama 08

Oh please MCBush… The Country is not gonna buy that line. Try again…maybe call Sean Hannitty. He'll have a good one for you….

I am democrat and hate repucblicans but if Barrackka Husein wins the demorats I'm voting McCain at least he is white.

McCain knows nothing about the economy. He just needs to get rested because Senator Obama is going to be the President of these United States of America because he brings goodness, honesty, justice and truth to the Oval Office.

I think McCain who has grew up with money and also, married into money has a lot of nerve saying someone is out of touch with the poor.

What is McCain definition of low-income Americans people who make over a million dollars?

Thats it John,protect the oil lobby at all costs.

Hey McCain - Poor people aren't affected by capital gains!

Ha Ha … that's funny when McCain is saying it, a guy who admitted that he has no clue about the economy !

Where were you John for Katrina victoms?Coulda,woulda, shoulda John.Go back to sleep.

we all know that the democrats raise taxes and the republicans do not. It is right there in black and white. There should be another debate in Indiana or North Carolina where the 2 democrats should answer questions and let the americans make up their minds that way.

"McCain targets Obama on economic issues" …Hahahahaha…..

Didn't McCain say himself he knows nothing about the economy,how could he criticise Obama's policy. McCain knows they is no guarantee that the american people would see the suspended tax on fuel. It is most likely be recycled back to the oil companies or used for road construction or something. McCain we don't want your bone you crook!

Obama 08!

Pot calling the kettle black. Joghn McCain, by his own admission, oes not know much about economics. How dare he attack anyone about "being out of touch?" He is a Republican, and by definition, HE is out of touch.

Mccain is for the rich. If any one for one minuete believes that he will set economic policy in favor of the poor, that person is DELUSIONAL.

The Rev. Wright speach, it almost sounded like a speach Obama
would have given. Did he take the words from Obama or did
Obama take his words? He was right about one thing, if Obama
is elected President , the change he speaks about, will not
be for the good of our Country.

Lets face it we take away the 18 or so cents a gallon that currently is reinvested into our roads and bridges, the price will initially to down about 10 - 15 cents but then you'll see the oil companies quickly get their price right back to where it is now. Only now we'll have outrageous prices and now way to fix our roads. You have to address the actual issue, and that's to stop these oil companies from being able to gouge the American people. Meanwhile we need to eliminate/reduce our dependency on oil. Those are real fixes; attack the problem!

That is rich coming from McCain. McCain didn't realize that the mortgage crisis was bad until his 3rd speech on it and proposes to continue the Bush economic policies. For someone who flies around on his wife's private jet to call a a person who worked as a community organizer in the poorest parts of Chicago "insensitive to poor people and out of touch on economic issues" is utterly mind boggling. He has learned well from the hand of Bush!

Growing up as a poor person has obviously made Obama insensitive to the plight of the poor, whereas John McCain marrying into a gajillion dollar marriage makes him a 'man of the people'. Riiiiight.

I wouldn't expect Obama to debate him on this.

McCain is calling Obama anti-poor people? That would be laughable if it weren't so sad. That's not just ridiculous, that's Dutch cleanser" ridiculous.
