Actually, the USA is #11 when it comes to nominal GDP per capita, so Mr. McCain, there are actually 10 countries with workers that can beat ours. WRONG AGAIN!

People once again it is so clear that voting for Obama/Biden and other Democrats is our only hope of getting this great country back to us.

Please people especially independent voters and any other voter who really cares about this country do not be fooled again by this insane Republican party.

Which one of his twenty-seven houses was he phoning that one in from? Cake-eater.

ENOUGH, ENOUGH ENOUGH ….NO MORE LIES NO MORE LIES NO MCSHAME, NOMCPALIN,NOMCBUSH….

OBAMA/BIDEN 08………BY A LANDSLIDE

And then towards the end of town hall he then says "the fundamental of the economy is at risk" this guy is clueless. He really does not get the economy!

It is too risky and dangerous to commit an ailing economy into the hands of a self confessed novice in economy. His military credentials not withstanding, I don't see why and how McCain is better than Obama. I can bet with anyone, that nothing will change under McCain as president.

My friends, I am clearly in Stage III Alzheimer's. Today in Florida, I was doing what is called "Sundowning" when I remember vividly something that happened in the distant past, like around 1995 when Bill Clinton was president and the economy was strong…

Please remember what General Douglas MacArthur said: "Old soldiers never die; they just fade away…"

McCain should return to figuring out how many houses he has – this seems to be a daunting task for him – and leave commenting on our economy to people who actually know something about it.

What's worse is, Palin is dumber than McCain!!

If you actually believe the New York Post is anything beyond a yellow journalism tabloid you are an idiot.

its just fine if you have a Seator's retirement pay, own 10 houses, and your wife has $100 million!

stop whining America!

we know what's best for you.

The chosen ones stance on this:

PRESENT!!!!!

Hillary 2012

This photo of McCain is hillarious. I can imagine him yelling…

"WAIT. DON"T GO………. WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID?"

The US Economy is larger than the next three largest economies of the planet.

The 3% growth is also the largest of the G8 nations, and most of the smaller European nations, yet this wouldn't dare be reported in the United States because it doesn't lend itself to everything being a catastrophe, that only our "savior" can bring us through.

Economy so bad that Obama raised 66 million last month,,,so awful.

McCain/Palin '08

McCain: " The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should. I've got Greenspan's book".

Greenspan: "American can't afford McCain's tax plan".

Any questions?

Good job McCain, you say something and then your campaign tells you you screwed up so you have to go out and lie about what you truly believe. Lies, lies, and more lies. How can anyone trust this man.

John McCain and the economy=oil and water! Don't mix and not a clue.

Prepare yourselves, people.

If this mess doesn't get McCain's numbers up, he'll just have some of his party's "friends" create a world crisis to get them up.

FEAR-MONGERING IS NEXT

Hazard:

There is a difference between postive vs. negative and realistic vs. Fantasyland.

Are you telling me that this is a mental recession? I work for the firm acquired by BofA…am I just imagining that my firm just got purchased? Am I imagining that jobs are going to go away? Am I imagining that my 401(k) and Retirement Plans are worth 1/3 of what they were worth last year?

Can you name one economic policy that McCain disagrees with Bush?

This is not trick question.

vote OBAMA!

Mr. McCane~

It doesn't matter how wide you try and open your mouth to eject that $500 dollar shoe…simply go take an extended nap…and get IN Touch with us later!

Actually his clarification was: Oooops, I was just told that I have 9 properties not 7 as I was told a few weeks ago.

Hey, if McCain has a hard time counting the number of homes he has, do we really expect him to know how many Americans are sufferering?

CLUELESS McCAIN……

Economy is "fundamentally sound"?

Then McCain is fundamentally "insane".

So much stupidity, so little time!

Fix it up, John because you know Obama was going to jump all over you with that major gaffe.

OMG! ROFLMAO!!! Does he really think the electorate is that stupid?!

McCain it 's time to back your slogan and put "Country before Self."

Our country needs a leader it can trust… not a leader willing to say any lie to get elected. We need a leader who can stand up to Russia and the Middle East and not one who backs down to the women of "The View."

I worked for years doing public works for transportation. Fundamentally sound eh? I am laid off! I was supposed to be working today. I should be able to pay my bills. I should be securing my child's future. I, Mr.McCain am already living proof that our economy sucks. I am one of the million looking for work. While you run jolly in my state, pumping lies to your idiot supporters, I will be voting for Obama this year. I can only hope that your ignorant remarks can score a few more votes for Obama.

nice scramble to change what you've been saying all along – the only change he brings is the script every day to pander his way through an election

So another McCain Gaffe, the economy is strong????????Maybe for you and your 5 million dollar rich friends huh???? You cant back track on this one! Keep showin your out of touch!

Economy is fundamentally strong? Is this guy living on the same planet? A quick glance up and down the streets in my town shows a different reality. People are losing their jobs and their homes.

Even if he doesn't get it, his handlers should point him the right direction. Sheesh.

Too little too late mcpalin

McSame

Lies & Fabrications!! – We are not stupid. We can't be fooled!!

Yes We Can Tell the DIFFERENCE

OBAMA/BIDEN

McCain said "our workers are the best " – then why, does he send our jobs overseas? This guy will say anything to attract a vote!
VOTE OBAMA IN 2008!

How McCain still tied with Obama is beyond me. There are a lot of people still buying the BS from the Repubicans. Oh by the way they are up to their old tricks. Just Google.
Michigan Messenger lose your votes.
And read. Amazing CNN and the other media networks never seem to mention this. I guess it is the Liberal Media bias. They will tell us what OJ had for lunch but not how the Republicans seem to try to consistently compromise our fundamental right to vote in order to win elections. Country First?

Wake up people! HE DOESN'T GET IT.

ella you are oversimplifying the problem: the fundamentals of the American economy are in danger.

The dollar is at it's weakest point in decades. Moreover, the last time it was this week we did not have a serious challenger to our hard currency, namely the Euro.

If the oil interests were to decide to align their prices to the Euro instead of the dollar, the American economy would implode. The only things preventing this at this point are 1) America's large consumption of foreign oil and 2) OPEC's realization that the implosion of the American economy would drastically hurt the rest of the world as well. However, both these features are shifting.

Finally, the lending crisis, coupled with Bush's asinine credit rates affecting student loans (among other things) have resulted in decreased spending and a diminishing educated workforce. Coupled together, many families are taking in less money or paying more of their gross income to the banks than ever before, yet on paper the banks still aren't breaking even.

All of this is the direct result of the "greed is good" economics of the 1980s.

Did this fool really say this? The economy is strong? Is Dubya writing his speeches now???

Oops. McCain showed his deeply Republican hands-off reflexes. He's not in any pain from the economy; why should he do anything.

If Americans pick him, his first statement is what we'll get, probably with a dollop of insincere sympathy like this second statement.

There is nothing for McCain to clarify. He has little understanding or interest in economics, as he himself admitted. Same for Gov. Palin, who I doubt ever took a college economics course. Former Fed Reserve chief Alan Greenspan has said McCain's tax plan is unsound!

McCain also fails to admit that the IRAQ WAR and OCCUPATION is costing us $1 trillion over the long run, and crippling our economy! Yet we're asked to vote for him because he's a POW hero?

"My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals of America are strong," McCain said at a campaign event in Orlando. "No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. Our workers have always been the strength of our economy, and they remain the strength of our economy today."

They have also seen their wages slip dramatically under republican leadership. McCain has opposed raising the minimum wage over and over again. John McCain doesn't give a hoot about the well-being of working Americans. The reason he believes the economy is fundamentally sound is because woes in the financial market don't have an impact on him and his wealthy friends.

Nah, why is he allowed to clarify, and when Obama makes a slip, there are no updates. Mainstream Media, you are gonna cost this country their future.

McCain Palin '08/ There will not be a US in '12.

TOO LATE WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT. YOU CANNOT BE IN TOUCH WITH AMERICA WITH 7 HOUSES.

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN, NO QUEEN REDNECK

McCain is correct. The fundamentals are still strong. The fact that Obama doesn't understand basic economics doesn't mean that McCain is wrong, nor should he have to dumb the message down to a level that Obama understands.

McCain cannot help it if Obama is a moron folks.

I think Sen McCain is ouit of touch with what is going on with the economy in America. McCain must haven't been watching or listening to the new today SAD. Maybe he think it's ok crash and burn. Go Obama/Biden

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS YOU WOULD VOTE FOR MICKY MOUSE IF HE COULD GIVE A GOOD SPEECH AND TALK ABOUT CHANGE. OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE AND HE WILL LOSE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED HILLARY THEN YOU WOULD HAVE A 10 POINT LEAD. WOW THE DEMS WILL NEVER LEARN.

If this mess doesn't get McCain's numbers up, he'll just have some of his party's "friends" create a world crisis to get them up.

FEAR-MONGERING IS NEXT

I think we all know what Senator McCain meant, but its just not a smart thing to say right now. Just like Phil Gramm's comments about "whiners" was just a dumb thing to say.

I'll also beg the differ with Senator McCain on the US shipping more goods out. If that was the case, why are our trade deficits so high? Why does Nissan, Toyota have plants in the US, but (unless I'm missing something), GM, Ford, etc don't have plants in Japan? Why are we importing so many goods from China (goods that are hurting American BTW)?

Why don't you ask Phil Gram how we can fix this? Oh yeah, he's a principal in messing things up.

So what are you going to do, John? Regulate the "top" of wall street? Doesn't that go against everything you've been saying? Doesn't that require more governmental oversight? Don't you want to reduce the size of government?

So tell me…just how are you going to fix things at the "top"? And how are you going to do so without government regulation?

John – You have not a clue.

Obama is a realist – PLEASE, everyone, vote for him in Nov.

No so long ago McCain he desn't know much abaout the economy. He has repeated proved this. Now he is talking about selling more goods to mre markets – he needs to take alook at the balance of payments anf the current trade deficit.

WE don't have time for a President to train in economics on the job.

I just got here; has CNN reported yet on Rangel having to hire a forensic acct to untangle all his tax lies yet?

Didn't think so….

This reminds me of the Nixon years. Every time he would say something stupid, his press secretary would come along a short time later and say,"What the President meant to say…"

Yeah, the economy is very strong … for people like McCain and his wife who own 7 houses and a beer fortune. Unfortunately for you and me it's an entirely different ball game…. But what does He knows about it, that old gaga ?

Nice triy McWar. Just go away and retire

There isnt much we can do about Lehman, truth be told it was the Fair Housing act and other ways to try to get poor people in their own houses that created this crisis, and when we piled all ultra low interest rates we created our own storm… now we have to clean it up and live with it…

I am starting to get really fed up with the Obama team smearing McCain/Palin! Obama is running scared and realizes that because McCain chose Palin for his VP, it has taken the thunder out of the Obama team.

McCain/Palin IS quite aware of our country's situation. I believe that they have a better knowledge of what is going on than the Obama team does.

Obama will say anything now to try and over come Palin. Why is he so afraid of Palin? I thought he was supposed to be fighting for the top of the ticket. Maybe the democrats need to have Hillary Clinton as the Presidential candidiate, and then put Obama as the VP.

I am one of many Hillary Clinton supporters that is going to vote for McCain/Palin instead of sitting out this election.

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

MacSane must really think the American People are realy really STUPID. And this coming from someone who pulled a vp ahahah a rabbit ahahah I mean a pit bull with lipstick out of a hat. heeeeeee.

If the top of the economic food chain is broken, it effects those of us at the bottom of the economic food chain…..we get the fuzzy end of the economic lolly pop!

How stupid does McCain think we "average" Americans are?

Maybe his running mate should be at the top of the ticket…….NOT!!!!
GOP, you should've picked Romney.

Hazard, Kentucky September 15th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

McCain is positive and we need a leader with a positive outlook instead of the doom and gloom of the Democrats.
———————————–

Stick your head in the sand a little more.

Ever heard of Alan Greenspan MacCain?-maybe he will tutor you.

I think this country is doomed. McCain is winning and he thinks the economy is strong. I wish people would snap out of it.

Wake up America!!!

It's time for a CHANGE (Not the McCane Change).

Why are people even thinking of putting another Republican in the office??? Why??

Floridian-

from the numbers I've seen you'd actually pay less under Obama's tax plan.

How can he say these dumb things with 0ut a sliver of truth?He says that the workers of America is what makes this economy strong,Duh!
Remind me again how many of those workers are out of jobs!
peg,tenn.

Which did McCain actually say? The "fundamentals of our economy are strong", or our economy is fundamentally strong? Do we need to change the "fundamentals?" Or do we need to get back to an economy based on effective fundamentals?

Should our economy be one that is controlled by our government? Or should our government be controlled by our economy? Perhaps less economy could mean less government; I would go for that.

This is the same John McCain who was part of the Keating 5 (which was the collapse of the Savings and Loan Financial Markets during the other George Bush). You didn't reform or change anything during that period – why would anyone believe that you would do anything this time. You have regulators in this Country, but the overseers are this George Bush's friends (which means they don't have the expertise) and why would they oversee anything which means the rich people are getting their perks, salaries, stock options, etc.

People get a grip – McCain and Company are part of the problem not part of the solution.

You mean were not just a nation of whiners. Thanks my friend

our economy is based entirely on enormous debt. How can that possibly be "strong" ?

Maybe is McCain knew how to access the internet he would actually be able to be informed about the state of the economy. Maybe if he actually had an education in law or economics he would be able to understand the complex issues that he votes on everyday.

Instead he just follows he pack and spouts the same rhetoric as Bush and Cheyney and whatever lobbyist is whispering in his ear!

I cannot believe that the American people are "dumb" enough to actually fall for the lies and trickery of McSame/Cheney Clone ticket! The media needs to do it's job by exposing the constant lies of these two! IF they don't this country may be doomed!

I'll be sure to tell all of the people who come through my office who are trying to find work…any work that the economy is strong. I'll be sure to tell the ones who have to borrow money or a ride to get to work because they don't have gas money that the economy is strong. I'll sit them down and explain to them that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, and the only problem is the people at the top…CEO's and politicians…I'm sorry who's been in power for the last 8 years? Who is giving tax breaks to large companies, including oil companies who are making RECORD profits?

Don't worry…I'll be sure to tell them the truth!

McCain refers to everybody as "My friends". . It's like he's tryijng to sell me something I don't need.

I don't know many people in my state that are being laid off , and firms are still hiring. So anecdotally, the economy is still strong.

Also, since when is an investment bank the bellwether for the economy? Guess what? M&As, IPOs, originations, they just gets picked up by another firm. Zero sum game as I see it.

He didn't get the memo…we are in a financial crisis old man..

And this is the guy people want as President?

LORD HELP US!

Please get over the fact that Obama is a man of color and VOTE FOR HIM!

Youll be sorry if you dont.

JOHN MCCAIN WOULD RATHER LOSE HIS INTEGRITY THAN LOSE AN ELECTION!!

Here we go again, McBush trying to get his foot out of his mouth. This guy is a disgrace to America. I wonder what other world leaders are saying about him?

Obama-Biden 08

Calling that a clarification is like – is like – is like putting lipstick on a PIG. The guy didn't know what he was talking about to begin with, and confirmed that with his 'clarification.' The quality of 'the American worker' (as if we were all simply interchangeable parts) has nothing to do with the fundamentals of the economy.

this man doesn't understand the economy, the fundamentals of trickle down economics doesn't work, and the american workers that he praises here are not whiners that his advisors call him

McCain did not clarify his words. This is bad reporting. He changed them when he was told how out-of-touch they were. Changed from economy being strong to American workers being the best.

If Americans fall for this guy, then I don't know what to say…except that you guys voted for Bush twice so anything is possible. Just proves that facts don't matter as much as they should.

Okay ,,, sure,,, yeah… whatever you say McCain the Same.

That is why we have unemployment rate so high because we sell so much and have so much business..

Have you forgotten you all let our jobs go overseas????

ohhhhh my gush. This guy has no idea of what is going on.Please let not be dumb to vote for this guy(McSame) in November because it gonna be a desaster.Please, please,please.

I am a Republican but will vote for Obama because with McShame i gonna have the same poor ecomomy and little or no change that he claims.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

What is he talking about??? Yes the top is broken, but the middle and the bottom are as well! I guess when he was speaking earlier, Lieberman wasn't there to whisper the correction in his ear!

Obama / Biden '08

The Russians are coming but never fear because Sarah "Troopergate" Palin will see them coming from her living room couch.

Obama/Biden

It's to late John "I was a POW" McCain I pray the American people won't continue to make the same mistake and elect you.

STOP THE INSANITY.

I am willing to admit I was wrong the past 8 years.

FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON ME. FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME. FOOL ME THREE TIMES – IT'S WORLD WAR THREE!!!!

Being in Washington for last 20 years senator McCain neither talked about change or even attempted to bring about the change. Now, he wants to bring the change to Washington. What was he doing for the last 20 years – Why it did not occur to him that there is a need for change for the last 20 years? Why only now – because the Republican party wants to follow on the footsteps of Obama.

They lack the originality.

this man is
out of touch
actually he is just …….out…..

What you SAID Senator, is the American Economy is fundamentally strong. You can't change that. If you and your neocon friends hadn't allowed so many jobs to be shipped out of the country, then good, hardworking Americans would be working. You and the Republicans, following George Bush and Dick cheney, have destoyed the American Dream!

It's time for the Republican party to be known for what it REALLY is:

THE PARTY THAT WRECKED AMERICA

OBAMA '08

You think the economy is strong?
BOO THIS MAN
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

If I had a hundred million in the bank and more houses than I could count, I bet I would think the economy was strong, too.

There has been a collapse of these national institutions because of a collapse of our culture. Greed, self-interest, lack of true character and integrity, and most of all–honor. Unfortunately McCain, and Palin really does, represents, and are examples of this new culture.

"When I said the economy was awesome, what I really meant was that YOU are awesome! You da man! Anybody buying this?"

1.) What's Johnny smoking that's making him think that?

2.) Can I have some of that?

I just got here; has CNN reported on Obama's attempt to stall the pull-out of American troops from Iraq?

Probably not…..

Wow………… amazing. The SAD thing is that there are plenty of Americans whom he will fool.

We need to change the course of our Nation. Wonder if anyone will 'get it' ?

I've always been a Republican. After this stupid comment I'll be voting for Obama. We really do need a change.

We keep hearing how bad the economy is, and then we hear that month after month Obama gets double digit Millions of $ in PRIVATE donations.

So Mr. Obama I ask you, which is it? is the economy so bad? Then where is all this money coming from? You are truley must be getting money from corporate fat cats who are pulling your strings.

OR

it is not as bad as you try to make everyone believe hence the average Joe having enough money to spare that they can send it your way.

and you Republicants want to elect this moron and the "governor" from the meth capital of the US also known as Alaska???? Pathetic and out of touch. The Republican(t) Party.

It is time to stand up and say ENOUGH!!! NO MORE!!! to the Republicans and their inability to govern.

VOTE FOR OBAMA / BIDEN!!!!

Where did they find this guy?

So if we sell more than we buy, why does everyone keep referring to our trade DEFICIT??? I'm becoming more amused with McCain's campaign every day.

wow,what an idiot. –yup,he'll get elected.

Ok, his "explanation" was worse than his original statement. He just needs to leave it alone today. He seems really out of touch today.

Does anyone find it scary that John McCain could actually be our next President?

I for one am completely baffled by the 45-50% of Americans who truly believe that McCain is a good choice.

I guess this is the danger of the two party system. Some people will vote for the party instead of the ideas and positions.

WHY IS OBAMA TRYING TO STALL THE WITHDRAWAL OF OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ?????????????

Watch the Obamabots: Obama is free to clarify, re-clarify, let me make myself clear, and to "refine" at will…. it shows thought and ability to adapt- after all.

But they will pounce on McCain for any clarifications.

I just got here; has Biden stuck his foot in his mouth yet today?

Nice try, Grandpa. How much is your wife spending on clothes today?

As usual nothing but namecalling from Obamabots who don't even know what the "fundamentals" of the economy are.

So immature.

This old man is clueless. And picking a women that hasn't a clue, just to pick up Hillary voters is a shame. It proves further that the GOP doesn't care. This is all a game.

Of course he thinks the economy is strong. He also thinks middle income is up to $250,000 a year.

If the toes don't give you a clue that your foot is in your mouth, your ankle should. Hey McCain, when in a hole, stop digging!!!

McCain looks like a bigger idiot each day. Why do so many people believe that he can lead this country? Is his large following proof that America is 'dumbing down?'

I'm with Tony: lol lol lol lol……….

It does not matter how stupid a comment McSame and governor Palin make …

There will always be somebody to spin those comments and there seem to be more and more to actually believe this new "change, we should be scared off".

The iceberg was never the problem on the Titanic, it was the music played by the band.

My friends, we need to fix the music !

I'm sure CNN will let this slide, almost unnoticed as they have all of McCains, lies, smears and mistakes. Long ways from the "best political team" CNN has.

Remember everybody, John McCain has every right to think the economy is strong: his wife's company just sold out to BevCo less than a month and a half ago. I'm sure they got a pretty penny out of that deal.

Wow. And this guy is ahead in the polls. Americans are dumb.

It is disturbing to see how a logical individual that put the country first can vote for McCain for the obvious reasons that he is too old for the demands of the top job in the world, his decision making is fading, his does really not understand the real economics huts of the average American, his is republican the USA cannot afford 4 more years of a make-over of the last 8 years, and McCain likes wars, and he still believe like most of the old generation: America will lead the way and people of the world will blindly follow. The times have changed, it will be a huge mistake to believe that we can invade sovereign countries and ask other countries not to do so and the will do it because we ask them.

American must be a nation of idiots if Mccain can pursuade them with his lies and out of tough comments or this nation has not free it self form Bigotry.

"Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. Our workers have always been the strength of our economy, and they remain the strength of our economy today."

Well, John, they did before their jobs got outsourced. If we sell to more markets than any other on earth, why is almost everything in OUR stores made in China, or someplace other than the US? I make a point to buy things made in the US, and it ain't easy!

Nice try, but it won't work.

Yep, McCain makes complete sense. We ARE the country this world envies. Only arrogance would deny this simple truth.

His comments along proves he is out of touch with the Ameican public, McCain said the economy was sound. Didn't he hear the news over the weekend? Oh I forgot he takes the weekend off. I repeat my question didn't his people hear the news over the weekend? Apparently NOT!!!

McCain is wrong for this country on so many levels, you know your wrong when Karl Roves say you've gone to far.

McCain is NOT clarifying. . .he's flip-flopping!

As if todays news about Lehman wasn't bad enough, McCain has to come out and say our economy is strong?? I guess that because he paid CASH for his 7 houses, he really isn't too worried about the financial markets that have ties to mortgages.
OUT—-OF—-TOUCH—!!!

this man is INSANE!

The economy is strong when you are a millionaire and own 9 home!
And your wife's closet could feed a small country.

Just goes to show me how out of touch he really is !

All Republicans are not rich people …this is not just a bad economy for Democrats.

McCain is not living in my world, my 401k is down , I lost my job last year, I make sure my trips out of my house count due to gas prices. I make a grocery list and try to make meals that I can recycle for a couple of days or three!

McCain's statements proves to me , he does not know what the average American is faced with everyday.

The only difficult time McCain has faced lately was from the ladies on the View!

"No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth."

More than China?

What an idiot!

People should notice that the red states are getting pounded by these hurricanes. The wrath of God is nothing to play with, you think Texas Louisana, and Ohio, and the republican strongholds in Illinois are in the dark now, wait till November if they aid and abett the McCain/Palin Ticket.

I guess this is what they mean by "Maverick"! LOL!

I hope McCain knows that he is running for the President of the USA and not China. His ignorant comments are indicative of his "out of touch" politics. He is not in for Americans or for the country. He is in for himself and he wants to win this election at any cost. Selection of Palin as his running mate is prime example.

Hazard, Kentucky – it's called reality. Would you rather have a President that lies to you so stay positive while you are losing your job and home.

Get Real!!!!

People are suffering. It will be interesting to see if the voters stick with what got them here or will they step out and go for a new direction.. . .

Vote Obama!

In the immortal words of Mr. Benny Hill…."SHEEPDIP!!"

BUT HE IS TIED WITH OBAMA. WELL SOMETHING ELSE MUST BE DRIVING HIS SUPPORT COULD IT BE FOOLISHNESS OR RACE. WE KNOW IT'S NOT THE ECONOMY.

OBAMA…..08

The reason the banks, and institutions on wall street are failing is greed. They have given themselves millions and millions of dollars in salaries. They have given themselves millions and millions of dollars in retirement packages. Then there wasn't any money left to run the company….

Course listen to obama he is going to change something. he said so, but what the heck he is going to change is anybody's guess. Maybe his voting record…he could vote for something you know.

All of the self interest greed and corruption that John McCain talks about is his plan to continue just that kind of policy!

John McCain and the Republican party have been for the richest elite in this country and "THAT ECONOMY" is doing great!

John, John, oh John, you can't build a bridge to the White House with a "Bridge of Lies"

Yeah John economy is strong, health care is strong, eduction is strong and the world is safer place. What land do u live in John WONDERLAND!
I think 7 years in Hanoi has taken a toll on your brain.

I know 66 million reasons of why the economy is strong … if things were so bad, why did Obama opt for private funding. If he really cared about his supporters he would have accepted Govt funding and spared his supporters from sending him their hard earned cash. So bottom line is that plenty of people feel that they rather send Obama money than to use that money to pay mortgages, tuition, medical bills, etc then these people must be comfortable knowing that there is plenty of growth, jobs, and money out there in the current economy.

Oh, yeah……well tell that to the people here in Orlando that have lost jobs, fuel sky rocketing, homes going into foreclosure, and our businesses closing, I don't know about the, "White WalMart and Soccer Moms" but I know we Black Moms have had enough of the Bushwhackos. It's time for Americans to come together and stand up against the Republicans McCainiagans. No Way, No How, No McBush, No McPalin.

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON 08′

=============idiots all for mcBush===============

DOnt try to DRESS if up now McCain.. Mean what you say, and say what you mean. You made a gigantic mistake, with regard to how our economy is doing..

Dont try to switch your idiotc coment around to make it seem as if Obama dont support the average worker.. Its you MCCAIN who dont support the average worker… I hate you MCCAIN..

The economy is "strong" if you ask my lobbiest friends or political cronies… as well as the current President who is one of my staunchest supporters… God Bless us!

"I'd rather lie to the people than lose an election."
John McCain, daily

I SAY NO MCCAIN,NO CNN.

Warren Buffet the richest man in the world who will probably be taxed the most supports Obama. What does that tell you?

If our Economy does not have strong fundamentals, why even bother to try and fix it? Of course it has strong fundamentals, if it didn't we'd be better off starting from scratch with socialism.

Has he seen the trade defcicit, and the number of jobs abd businesses outsourced?
Does he have any realization fo what is going on…
if he and moose lady get elected everyone get out your sleeping bags and cardboard boxes, because the great depression will seem like a cake walk compared to what he and 4 more years of the same will bring us.

McCains analysis of the economic situation is shared by millions of americans and therefore not necessarily a scientific one. I miss quaified
statements as to how he would go about rectifying this frightening situation. I believe his economic advisers have advised the Bush administration?! Have they become the great healers over night?

Only spoiled liberals would see an economy that is growing, just at a much slower pace than before, in a fierce globalized market, as not strong. So many say they are scared by McCain… and that is because liberals are so easily scared. They are cowards, afraid to compete in a free market economy without the giant government as their crutch. If you honestly think this economy is not strong, then put your money where your mouth is and go live somewhere else… try Rwanda, and then try to say that the US economy is not strong.

He just does not get it. Enough with your feel good American hard lunch pale worker! get lost you have ruined this country.

WE ARE INDEED SITNESSING A GROSS ECONOMIC DISASTER.
OUR COUNTRY IS BLEEDING.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE GOING BANKRUPT.
U.S. CITIZENS ARE LOOSING THEIR HOMES.
BANKS ARE LOOSING THEIR EQUITIES UP TO 90 %.
THE AUTO INSDUATRIES ARE LOOSING THEIR MARKET SHARES.
AMERICAN INVESTORS AND RETIREES ARE LOOSING THEIR ENTIRE FINANCIAL FUTURE.
YET STILL, GEORGE BUSH AND JOHN McCAIN ARE TELLING US THAT """""""""""""""""'OUR ECONOMY IS IN THE PROCESS OF ADJUSTMENTS"""""""""""""""""""""""". EXCELLENT JOB REPUBLICANS.
I AM A LIFETIME REPUBLICAN AND I APPROVE THE ABOVE STATEMENT.

Perhaps we need a woman running for President for a change!

McCain is right,it just seems wrong to some.

Haha none of my posts are being posted not useing profanity just telling the truth and they are not being posted ..Cnn affraid.

Don't try to clean it up!

You already said exactly what your filthy rich senile mind meant to say!

We already heard you and it cannot be retracted.

For someone who has $100,000, 000.000 and nine houses I guess the econony is strong~!

But for those like me who lost the one house I have been paying for over 14 years, it is in the toilet, just like the Republican McSleasy and Pa-Lie policies!

The economy is in the state it's in because of the Republicans.
Mcain is a fraud who is out of touch with realty and has no plans, ideas, or vision for this country. McCain is part of the problem

Why does Obama try to tell us how bad we are and that HE is the saviour? He is really making me worry, that kind of ego is very dangerous. Mr. McCain belives in this country, Mr. Obama belives we need him or we are doomed.

He is 100% correct. The fundamentals of our economy are strong. Every six years the economy goes up and then goes down. But he is correct…the basis of our economic system (capatilism) is very strong. It is time to improve upon our capitalist economy…..we do NOT need to change our whole economic system to SOCIALISM like Sen. Obama is proposing!

McCain wanted reform of the lending and investment industries long before Obama. What does a Lawyer know about the Economy but how to sue and over regulate and get executives off the hook for their corruption!

If we are working hard, but our financial infrastructure is failing, then the fundamentals of our economy are NOT WORKING, IDIOT!

It's like talking to dumb and dumber. Please do not vote this man into office. He's clueless!

I think he should have picked Michael Palin instead. At least some of this garbage he is spewing might be funny!

Old man McCain is clueless and out of touch with mainstream America. Having a wife with millions to spare could be part of his problem.

irresponsibility, coruption, lies are the MacCain fundamentals.
What is he going to say tomorrow. Irresponsible VP choice.
McCain first, America who knows.
Vote Obama 08 and save America

John McCain has become the "yes–but " idiot and CNN has become the REPUBLICAN CHANNEL.

YOU DIDN'T SAY FUNDAMENTALS OF AMERICA

YOU SAID FUNDAMENTALS OF THE ECONOMY.

Someone should fact check McCain before he does press releases. Caught slipping again:

"No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth."

Not true. Germany holds that title, and China exports more than we do.

THE——–ECONOMY——–IS——–NOT——–STRONG——–YOU——-NIMWIT

"Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. "

Is that why we're the world's leader on imports and have had an ever increasing trade deficit?

This dishonest campaign needs to lose….we cannot take more of the same anymore!!

More and more Republicans are trying to distance themselves away from McCain/Palin to save their own rear-ends. This stupid comment should make even more of "his friends" abandon ship.

So difficult I may have to sell one of my houses difficult, or I hope you can believe my "American Workers make us strong" bs kind of difficult?

Either way, your comments are difficult to believe. Tax custs to companies that ship jobs over seas, but our American Workers is what makes our economy so STRONG.

WOW John, are you serious?

Too late~ Why are people walking around with their eyes closed! I have a MA degree and I work two jobs just to make it! So please someone who is for McCain let me know what I am doing wrong
I have a college education
I am a hard worker
Oh I don't have any credit card debt
So why do I have to work two jobs to stay a float!

Pandering. "No matter how what I said five minutes ago must have sounded, you mustn't forget that I love you poor little troglodytes and that I'm fighting for you by pledging to use my remaining few months on this Earth to keep the American economy as strong as it is today for your children and theirs."

Hmmmm…..back to back articles with boards for the same pro-Obamabot story?

Doesn't exactly seem unbiased, CNN.

The American public expects better reporting.

Again again Mccain is proving that he is not ready to lead. So guys it is time to put your country first . vote for Obama not for some one who lives in some other world.

If McCain believes it's the "top of the economy" that's broken, then why does he want to give the "self-interested, greedy, irresponsible, and corrupt" top hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks, and let the rest of us keep struggling while the rich get richer?

Put your money where your mouth is, McCain.

Obama/Biden, '08

So McCain states: "We have seen self interest, greed, irresponsibility and corruption undermine the hard work of the American people."

Who has been running the country for the last 8 years? And he represents change???

Nice backtrack.

Really? And some Americans are STILL buying what this guy is selling?

I guess economy is fine if you own 7 houses. Tell that to those who lost their jobs or those that have to take 2,3 jobs to provide for their and then you tell me if the economy is strong

Of course he "clarified" it.

So this is basically the strategy of the McCain campaign…

Make sure to confuse the American people enough with distortions, misdirection and ridiculous statements; then come up with an "apple pie" clarification that sounds so wonderful that the American people don't recall any of the confusion that McCain has perpetrated on them.

Please, America, don't fall for any of this. I beg of you for the future of our country.

Flip, Flop, Flop, Flip, once again Mcstupid has it wrong. Economy is strong yeah right! Please retire already!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

I agree we are all out here working hard!

It is time that as Americans we say to the Do nothing Liberal Congress

"Get to work, like the rest of us!"

McCain/Palin-08-in a Landslide!

That's right; damage control- at it's finest.

It Is The Economy Stupid! Sure the American worker is the best in the world; However, the economy is broken because of your republican's failed poilcies Stupid! Where is the American worker going to get a good paying job when you and your cronies want to out-source everything Stupid?

McSame does not have a clue about the economy!

If Mc cain thinks that the American economy is"strong",I'd hate to hear what he calls weak.Our citizens are having a difficult time keeping their homes..not a problem for him and his friends…paying their utility and food bills..agian not his problem.How can the average person think that he really cares about their situation?He picks a VP that is in pocket of the oil industry…do you really think that anyone in alaska wants an alternate fule..they all get rebate checks from oil sales.Get real Americans…don't be fooled by these politicians again.Bush ran as a person thaat could unite the country and looks what's happened to us.Take a chance on a black man who couldn't do any more harm to our country then the fat,rich,white men have done to it over the past eight years.No,I'm not black just a 68 year old white Catholic that has enough sense not to push my religion on anyone and who knows that anyone that says God is on the side of war in Iraq is a really scary person.Bush has God speaking to him and just look what that has done to our beloved nation.

"My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals of America are strong…."

Dang, it is so easy for rich people like McSame to say stuff like this!!!

"Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth."

What about China, Mr. McSame?

FLIP FLOP

FLIP FLOP

FLIP FLOP

FLIP FLOP

FLIP FLOP

Greed for sure, and lack of regulation . . . .dot.com bust, housing crisis, price of oil result from greed. People need to have limits set (regulations)to help avoid these kinds of problems. Even the best of us try and take advantage of a situation and then everyone suffers . . . well, most everyone . . .

I can't trust McCain with my vote in November. He is totally out of touch when it comes to the economy and I truly believe things will remain the same and even get worse under his administration. We need real change…we need Obama!

Give me a break.. saying the fundamentals of our economy is strong vs. saying "the fundamentals of America are strong" are two completely different things.

The McCain campaign has jumped the shark. They are becoming a laughing stock from all the lies. Even Fox News is calling them out on their lies.

this old man needs to sit down somewhere
if the economy is so strong why are so many people hurting
he never favored tough regulation on these companies and look whats happening right now (out of business) one after the other .
He has more house than he has of hair, I'm sure his economy is strong, but for the rest of us the economy is a sham.

The economy is strong if I had 8 homes and I dress like Cindy Mcsame.

If our economy is so strong……Why is it then that almost every item in the stores (including food) is imported from another country? Where are the MADE IN AMERICA products? McCain is out of touch and his choice for VP Proves it.

He shouldn't do this to himself. He doesn't need to.

The econmy is fundamentally sound for him and the rest of the people who are rich but for you everyday average citizen times are not easy. He is out of touch with your every citizen. No amount of clarification will clear it up for me and some others.

I suppose he figured out that was not a good thing to say… doesn't change the fact that he belives it !!!!!!!!

It's strong, no it's not, yes it is, not it's not, yes it is…..

The mind is a terrible thing to waste…..

Policies have always been fundamentals of the economy not human beings McDumb, Human ideas and are the drivers of the policies with right environment work things to profit. Quote me anywhere.

does anyone realize that every outfit cindy mccain is wearing cost dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars? e.g. the opening night of the RNC, she wore earrings worth over $280K. that's more than my house is worth…hanging from her fricking ears!

McCain just proved that he really doesn't understand what 'Economy' is about. This is just PATHETIC "Our workers sell more goods than any other on earth". EXACTLY, YOU IDIOT! But who manufactures those "goods"? China! That's why USA is going down, you outsourced all the manufacturing jobs!!

Boy John you didnt do so good today, making the statements you did about the enconomy. You and Cindy have no idea what it is like not to be able to make your house payment, buy grocerys, put Gas in your car. Where is your little beauty queen today, where the crowds of people. So you think you and Sarah are going to talk the people into getting us four more years of Bush. Well John it can be a task from God to take you two out of this election, just like Sarah said it was a task from God for the iraq war. John what goes around comes around and Mark my word it is coming around to you and your precious little Sarah.

Behind every no so great woman is a man trying to get elected president. Maybe McCain is now having Palin advise him on the economy.

I wish I saw the economy from McCain's position. I'd say it was strong if I was the most pampered United States Senator. As a person hoping to retire this year on halloween, a joke on myself, I'm praying I don't get out there and crash and burn. I will pay my mortgage first then the utilities and anything left can go for food. I plan to keep my car and the clothes I now own. I will vote for Obama because his agenda his his daughters and me.

Obama just got smacked.

Clarifing the fact that you still don't have a clue. Thanks McCain!!!

Oh don't try and twist your own words McCain. When you say the economy is strong, you mean for the wealthy. Just like when you say you aren't going to raise taxes, you mean for the wealthy. Let's hear your plan to shake up the top levels of our work force then if that's your plan? So full of it.

Direct quote of John McCain:

“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should."

With the economy being the #1 issue to Americans in this election, how could you vote for John McCain? And he didn't choose a VP running mate who could help him out with this issue, either. Sarah Palin, as Mayor of Wasilla with population roughly 8000, left the town in $22 Million Debt. I don't think either of these candidates can help out our country much in these hard times.

I noticed that today in Orlando, McCain had to "hand-off" the microphone on a question regarding the economony namely on the issue of the "fair-tax" measure.

interesting… Can I have a president that understands the economy?

UNDER WHO'S PLAN WILL I PAY LESS INCOME TAX? Obama's or McCains?

(I earn less than 80K)

McCain is positive and we need a leader with a positive outlook instead of the doom and gloom of the Democrats.

McCain been saying that for the last 10 months…so "clarifying"…ya right!!!!

Whatever liar! Anyway Alan Greenspan, who ran the federal reserve for a decade, said that McCain's tax plan is unaffordable and will only run our economy further into the ground.
Mccain/Palin= pathological liars

The fundamentals are not strong at all. Baby-boomers soon to be hitting retirement and drawing both Social Security and lots of funds out of investment markets, a continuing decline in American education, increases in energy prices with no end in sight in the most energy dependent economy in the world, Asia and Europe cooperating together better than us, the worst healthcare costs in the world, a financial system in fundamental turmoil due to lack of oversight, debt as far as the eye can see without even a plan on how to pay it all off, declining wages for 90% of Americans while income for the top 1% continues to climb beyond any rational measure of their contribution, increasing cost of education and decreasing return on that investment… NO JOHN MCCAIN, THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE NOT STRONG!!!!!

McCain is insane and we all know that he is out of touch …..this is not news we can use CNN.

Too late McCain,
Your opponet is right as usual.

My fellow voters, don't forget that one of his supporters spoke of this weak economy as a figment of our imagination.

Obama/Biden 08

McCain–the ultimate flip flopper! He admits that the economy is not his strong point. Greenspan came out and said, flat out, that his tax cuts won't work. He will not change America in the way we need or in any way for that matter.

And again today Sara Palin lied to the American people about the bridge to nowhere. How is this not front page news every day that a candidate for the 2nd highest executive office in the United States will blatantly and willfully lie to the people over and over again? Do your duty, CNN and tell the American people that they are being lied to by those who wish to lead us.

America can we say SPIN DOCTOR… Rove talk to your boy again he is just too much! There are truly no words to express how ignorant McSame as Bush is…. and for those of you that support him…. you are either illiterate or just bias…. meaning you won't vote for the canidate that is the best for America because he is African American… yes I said it and I know a lot of folks that believe the same … PS he is half African American. Lets truly put Country first and shame the devil … he is a liar…. by voting for Obama and Biden 2008

to all American haters 6% economy is better then the past 15 years And the 3 years of community organizing from obama .If you don’t like this economy move to a socialist country and have half of your wealth given to someone else.

he's crazy–out of touch–doesn't know whats even going on and must have alzheimer's with all the insane things he's saying..its about time he gets taken to task for all the lies

McCain is sooooo out of touch with reality!! Obama needs to make a commercial showing that short elf-McCains buddy saying America is a nation of whiners.

McCain seems to be copying Obama on most of his positions…why is this??? Because Obama has the right JUDGMENT to be President.

It is amazing that anyone with the ability to think clearly would entrust the economy to McCain/Palin. McCain has acknowledged that he does not know very much about the economy and Palin left the small town of Wasilla with a $22 million deficit (even after collecting millions in earmarks, and despite false claims of being a reformer). For the sake of America's future WAKE UP!!

Yes Cindy sells more beer than anyone on earth. Tell that to the birds. He cant even defend himself right. After usig sarah failing as cover now u cant even stand by ur work. From the fundamentals of the economy to the Hardworking American people. Your lies aare out McShame and how unstable minded you are. You are really out of touch and no real ideas of what average people are going through, just go ahead and retire.

Fundamentals!!???

You mean the borrowing of Billions of dollars from China!? Which has put America further in debt then ever before in American history..

What McCain really means is that the WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS and the LOBBYISTS are still profiting enormously!!..Which means McBush is profiting along with all his corupt buddies in the Republican Party…!! Whilst Americas poor are getting poorer by the hour!! Sure.. For John The Economy is Still Strong! He isnt poor…

Once again, it's John McCain first, not country. He is extremely selfish and a prime example of that is putting Sarah on his ticket. What a mockery of the office of the VP

Barack is right, he doesn't get it.

Obama/Biden 08

Why isn't CNN running a story on the ticker about Obama's attempt to keep our Troops in Iraq so that he can BE lauded by the anti-war sect during his administration as reported by the NEW YORK POST? Why isn't CNN reporting that his continually changing plans for the withdrawal are completely flawed and that his deadline is a complete farce???

WHY IS OBAMA TRYING TO STALL THE WITHDRAWAL OF OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ?????????????

Well Lehman and Merril Lynch are now DONE. McCain….you are no good at this are you buddy.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE,

DON'T LIE TO AMERICANS ANY MORE.

YOU ARE EITHER OUT OF TOUCH or OUT OF MIND to think that our economy is strong.

Look what you Republicans and your policies have done to this country. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The American workers are not the fundamentals…it is the failed policies that your party has peddled for the last 8 years.

Obama/Biden '08

You are so right! Our workers are the best! Which is why your supporting of sending our jobs overseas is criminal! Barrack obama believes in rewarding companies who DON’T ship jobs over seas, a move you do don’t support.

"No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. Our workers have always been the strength of our economy, and they remain the strength of our economy today."

that is baloney…our national defense is MUCH weaker now that we cannot produce a single armament in this country and 90% of production is outsourced to China which, due to its' immense wealth, is able to avoid any WTO commitments that other nations must abide by; if by safer from Iraq, fine, but if by safer from actual countries which are more powerful, then no, mccain, we are not safer, and your very own policies of "free" trade and globalization have made us much weaker….

—–IF——-YOU——-THINK——-WORKERS——-MATTER——-WHY——-DON'T——-YOU——-CARE——-ABOUT——-THEM——-?

McCain can't be part of the solution. He and his kind are part of the problem.

Fundamentals of our economy are strong?
Stubburn McCain disagrees with economy experts like Alan Greenspan.
McCain is the the definition of "out of touch"
McCain has become the Fathers of all LIES, the ACCUSER….

McCain still believes that the TITANIC could have been saved by the ICEBERG that he represents.

What a DISGRACE FOR AMERICA.

MCCAIN IS A

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – 2016

This is no country for old men.

Just more of the same "stick your head in the sand" Bush rhetoric from this guy.

Wake up America!!!

Of course he defends his comment. He is an idiot, so he does not know any better!! Is CNN going to report how Alaska had the biggest protest in their history when Palin went back to speak?

Jokey McCain really thinks that is he's in at world 40 years ago. Mc Cain go to the house and enjoy your last years with your family. You don't know if you are going or coming. Mc Cain wants so badly to go to war, and to keep war going. go to the HOUSE.

we know. it's just a "mental recession"……..the "nation of whiners" should just be quiet…..

Old and clueless… what a swell candidate…. and Caribou Barbie ain't much better….. BUSH DOCTRINE? DUH HUH?

McCain is 'out of touch' because he doesn't understand the message his comments about the economy are sending to the electorate. Clearly, the U.S. economy is in dire straits. Everybody seems to know that but John McCain. The housing marketing is a debacle and numerous financial institutions are in trouble. Detroit is in real trouble, too. Then there's that pesky national debt issue. How bad do things have to be before McCain will drop this politician's platitude about our "strong economy"? When a person running for president makes these kinds of preposterously pollyannaish comments, one has to wonder just how long the lunch is that he is out to.

Would everyone please take the time to look at the 2 tickets education? It will all start to make sense then. I hope everyone will overcome their "other" reasons for not selecting the obviously more qualified and educated ticket………… your kids/grandkids' futures might depend on it.

Never let 'em see you sweat and never admit you're wrong… not what I want in a President.

He said the economy was strong today? Unbelievable, what an idiot. Give him his meds and put him to bed.

Oh, oh.
Damage control.
Damage control.

Ooops. Too late.

You're stil not getting it, Mr. McCain.
The economy sucks!!!!! Ever heard of Wall Street? Notice how many companies are failing because of the economic policies Dubya's maintained????
And then you want to continue them????

Get outta here!
And don't tell me the "surge" is working!

Sadly, Senator McCain just seems confused.

"We have seen self interest, greed, irresponsibility and corruption undermine the hard work of the American people".

Finally something true out of this man's mouth.

His party is guilty of all his accusations, since Republican have held the WH and a majority of Congress, for the last 6 of the 8 years.

We truly cannot affor 4 more years of this no nothing.

McCain said below— Yeah McCain and yuo've been in the senate for 26 years— what exactly have you done for the american worker??? You are self interested and greeedy and irresposinsible!!!!! You've done nothing for us with ALL YOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!!

Bow out NOW??? Liar!

But their efforts are not being matched at the top," he added. "From Washington to Wall Street, the top of our economy is broken. We have seen self interest, greed, irresponsibility and corruption undermine the hard work of the American people."

What he says may sound nice to the average republican…

The reality is that per capita we're being out-performed by many nations…

Both by production and education

We don't even come close to Japan for instance.

McCain will tell you what you want to hear, but everything he tries to sell you is a double edge sword.

LOL, SPIN, SPIN, SPIN, SO FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE WORKERS WHO ARE GETTING LAID OFF AND CAN'T FIND JOBS?

Our workers are out of work fool!!!

ONE NATION

The pathetic part of this is, McCain and camp will come out with some BS spin story about this makes sense, and 45% of you will believe it. Even after the last 8 years of unmitigated disaster, you still believe him.

I guess you're getting what you deserve then. Personally, I'd ready to give someone intelligent a chance to run the government, because I am sick of borrowing money from China to pay for an illegal war, and expecting my daughters and grandchildren to pay it off.

The economy is strong enough for donors to send the Obama campaign hundreds of millions of dollars.

i guess in john mccain's world his economy is sound so the rest of us must be.

mccain math:

palin asked for $200 million in earmarks and that = zero to him as he said she's asked for none.

his comments aren't lies at all, it is his reality!!

he'll now focus on immigration and 'victory' in iraq.
would someone please nudge him and cindy, their transparency is scary.

lying about our economy, wont fix it ,sen. mccain.

McCain face saving activity of the day:
WHen you 'MISSPEAK", back up and 'EXPLAIN"

In other words lie like a dog;

I guess John McCain hasn't heard of a little country called China.
We BUY more than any country on earth, but we produce less than China and may soon be #3 according many economists.
Out of touch with America and the world.

So, The Gramm 'whiner' incident was TRULY an indicator of HOW OUT OF TOUCH the McCain administration is with the economy in America.

There are only two major investment banks that remain standing now ( and maybe not for long at that). How many more bank failures and implosions like today will have to occur before we are in a FULL BLOWN DEPRESSION?

I'm not wasting my vote on McCain that has admitted that he doesn't know anything about the economy. How stupid would that be?

McCain you are so foolish. US economic fundamentals are not 'strong'. Where have you been for the past year? Oh– In one of your seven-ten houses; depending on what the definition of house is. You sir are a moronic, incompetent republican puppet, a dwindling shadow of your former self.

Hey McCain – define "strong".

i guess none of his 9 houses are in foreclosure?

Every time I look at cnn it has the lying "Palin the Alien" And "John demented rage Mc-insane" with there lying stories about change. "The wealthy can believe in" and almost nothing about Obama ,Biden, and the true issues they want to truthfully let America decide who is actually "Honest". The wealthy Lobbyist that finance Mc-insane …or average people that donate there hard earned money to Obama…This is not rocket science…What is CNN Afraid of…???

Give me a break. McCsame and Palin are both soooo out of touch, it isn't funny. No way could they run this country, EVER!
DONATE, DONATE, DONATE TO:

OBAMA/BIDEN-08!

I just saw a pig (with lipstick) flying

and we should believe anything you say? why? stop the lies!

This isn't about the American worker, John. This is about your government in D.C., where you and your lobbyists have worked for 30 years, completely failing to monitor the activities of Wall Street and the housing market. Your Congress, in GOP power for six of the past eight years, has completely failed the American people. The American worker is fine, John. It is the GOP establishment, the Bush Administration and their policies you support 90 percent of the time, that is the problem. Time for new leadership, John.

That's why we need to give Obama a chance. Just four years, that's all we ask for.

How about reading Mr. Greenspan's book Mr. Out of Touch.

It's official, McCain is retarded!

Just the fact that McCain would try and defend his comments about the economy being strong on one of the worst days on Wall Street in decades should not leave any question in anyone's mind that he is COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH!

Um. McSame. You said "ECONOMY," not "WORKER." Stop pretending you care about workers, because you don't even know who they are when you're sitting near one of your nine swimming pools.

they sound real strong, john. yeah. right. thank you for telling us another 'whopper'.

This coming from a man who admitted he doesn't know jack about the economy.

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol ….I can't stop laughing.

McCain's ties to K Street began attracting attention, and a month later two of his key operatives were forced to resign after the press revealed that they'd lobbied for the Burmese dictatorship. A top McCain fundraiser, former Congressman Tom Loeffler, also got his walking papers after lobbying McCain on behalf of Saudi Arabia. In the space of ten days, five McCain lobbyists-turned-staffers left his campaign. Those who remained included senior adviser Charlie Black–formerly one of the most high-profile Republican lobbyists in Washington, who has represented the likes of Iraqi exile Ahmad Chalabi, mercenary contractor Blackwater and Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. One could be forgiven for wondering, Was anyone in McCain's inner circle not a lobbyist?

Really? He was talking about the workers? Are people going to buy this?

Sorry, dumb question.

WACKO LIKE HIS RUNNING MATE

The only change that McCain will bring is "CHANGE OF MIND"

He'll flip-flop and not stop.

OUT OF TOUCH OLD GUY
