McCain is out with a new ad touting his ability to promote the economy.
McCain is out with a new ad touting his ability to promote the economy.

(CNN) - John McCain released a new television ad Tuesday telling voters he will protect them from the nation's economic woes: "Your savings, your jobs ... I'll keep them safe."

"The economy is in crisis. Enough is enough. I'll meet this financial crisis head on," McCain says in the new ad - the first in several weeks from his presidential campaign that does not attack Obama directly.

"Reform Wall Street. New rules for fairness and honesty. I won't tolerate a system that puts you and your family at risk," he also says. "Your savings, your jobs ... I'll keep them safe."

Obama sharply criticized McCain on Monday when the Arizona senator said the fundamentals of the economy are still strong, even as the 158-year-old investment firm Lehman Brothers shocked Wall Street when it filed for bankruptcy protection. McCain later said he was referencing the strength of American workers.

Now McCain is stealing Obama's "enough is enough" battle cry?

A Rebublican voting Democrat, Maryland   September 16th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

I am registerd Republican voting for Obam-Biden ticket. McCain-Palin and the Republica party are a liar in my view. I can't believe the American people are buying into their jokes. These two people aren't real on issues that affect an ordinary American. Obama-Biden are right on the issues affecting you and me in this country today.

People don't buy into their stragies. All they want is to still your votes. Please get from me ....I am a registered Republican. You see, he has been copying Obama's phrase by phrase....what changes is that when you he can't have his own original ideas. Don't be fooled by McCain-Palin. Please let us do away with the McCain-Palin and the Republican Party all together. Lets all vote DEMOCRAT this time around. They are the one talking about the issue.

They're of the same. Let us send them home to Alaska.

JB   September 16th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Why are you Obama supporters so angry? Obama has nothing in his past to indicate that he would be a good president, but yet you think that he's going to just come into the white house and make everything perfect. Obama is no different than any other politician so don't act like he's going to be some kind of messiah.

Also Cafferty is trying to say that people wil not voting for Obama is only because of racism. What about the 90% black vote for Obama? Is that racism? Could it be that the voters that won't vote for Obama think that he don't have enough experience and nothing to show that he would make a good president. Just because Obama is black does not mean that voters should not make judgement as to whether he would make a good president or not.

Your comments Exactly summed up the GOP perfectly. Ironically and sadley this is what the republican base believes.

Frank   September 16th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

This from the man who, by his own admission, doesn't know much about the economy.

And before he started running for President, he didn't care about it much either.

Give me a break!

Capablanca   September 16th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

I think McCain should have taken Obama's lead because I think this week Obama is focusing on old politics of personal attacks. Not a lot of people want to hear what the candidates can do to fix the economy. Obama this week has been talking about personal stuff and leave the details to fix the economy aside.

The only thing McCain intends to keep safe are the corporate interests dancing him around liek a marionette.

Jacqueline   September 16th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

How can McCain work to keep jobs safe when he doesnt think the economy is in trouble to begin with? after 8 years with Bush policies how can we support 4 more years. Lets face facts You cannot bring the jobs back but you can bring in new jobs which is what Obama will do by closing those loop holes in Nafta, re investing in renewable energy and reforming washington . McCain has had 26 years to fight for americans in the senate and congress and his record shows he has agreed with Bush over 90 % of the time. Time for a change. No McCain No Palin No way!! Enough!!!!

carolflowery   September 16th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

you better be watching what your senate is doing, they are voting today, tonight to tax oil companies 18 billion dollars and then give ti back for incentives to solar, wind, etc, etc..they havent done a thing with their outrageous profits all these years, give it backt o the taxpayers, and this my idea, not obama or mccain's this is how sarah palin handled them in alaska, show me the money you freaks

Johanna not voting GOP   September 16th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Fact is – McCain said the same thing at least 3 times since January:
"I still believe our fundamental underpinnings of our economy are strong."
-Sen. John McCain (1/23/08)

"I still believe the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
-Sen. John McCain (8/20/08)

"Our economy, I believe, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong…"
-Sen. John McCain (9/15/08

Phil   September 16th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

I've got one word for everyone out there...Hollywood. The call to arms Hollywood has made to destroy and discredit McCain/Palin alone should be enough evidence that Obama is the wrong person to vote for. Whoever Hollywood praises, you should automatically vote the opposite of. People say McCain is out of touch with the everyday person in the U.S...what about the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Chevy Chase, etc. who have blasted McCain/Palin. The safe bet for America is ALWAYS the opposite of whoever Hollywood actor/actresses/producers/directors push for. Wake up America. Watch the debates, watch the interviews, etc. Make an informed decision, not an emotional one.

HE EVER HELD A JOB OTHER THAN ON THE TAXPAYERS DIME?

AND DON'T TROT OUT THE TIRED POW PROPAGANDA, MCCAIN'S

PIMPED THAT STORY ENOUGH ALREADY!

Ohio voter   September 16th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

the economy is what it is stop telling me Mccain or Obam can fix anything. MCcain, Obama, Biden, Clinton, all current Senators, time to try something really new. VOTE PALIN VP for real change.

Ken in Dallas   September 16th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

If McCain actually wins the election, who's he gonna follow around to steal ideas from then. McCain has his campaign strategy down cold: Lie, cheat, and steal!

Tracey   September 16th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

If he hasn't proved himself in 30 years what makes us believe he will do it in 4! He has been apart of this mess and now he wants us to believe that he is for this country! Anerica on Nov. 4, please vote for the person who in your soul will help to bring us from out of this mess!
Please! for the true love of this country. This man is dangerous! Just like Bush. People voted for him and look at what has happened! Don't be bamboozled again!

Lie-a-day Palin Ain't Ready for Primetime   September 16th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

McCain isn't a maverick, he's a plagiarist along with his wife Cindy and running mate Palin.

Tis the season to be jolly, I won't tolerate a system that puts you and your family at risk," he also says. "Your savings, your jobs … I'll keep them safe." fa la la la la. not even Sen McCain or Sen Obama can stop job lost. When company more out of country at will or close, down size.lay off. so but look what is going on now. Go Obama/Biden

OS   September 16th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Where are the specifics??? show us the specifics.

How will you keep jobs, when you are running on the paltfrom of exporting jobs to other countries???

You were in Washington for 20 years – Why it did not occur to reform the Wall Street then – Why only now???

John Starnes Tampa Florida   September 16th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

So after stealing the "change" theme from Obama he now is ripping off "enough is enough"? John McCain SO quickly resorted to dishonorable and dishonest tactics to try to get into the White House, he has made clear that, just like George Bush, he would run our country with dishonesty and dishonorable intentions. This tragic shadow of his former, almost-honorable self (Keating 5, affair to marry a millionaire) should apologize to us all, his party, then recover what tiny bit of dignity he has remaining and withdraw from a race that has too much stake for America to serve as a paliative for his ego.

Sure but for who .....Goerge Bush kept jobs safe to .....you don't here the wealthy types complaining to much the economy is fundamentally sound right. rich taking care of the rich...

People said that he has disabilities that's why he can not use a computer , please that is total BS. Steven Hawking can only move one finger and his eye lids and yet he drives his own wheel chair and writes his owns books on a computer. There is no excuse for him not to been able to do it. my great-grandmother of 98 can sent emails and surf the web and she does not even speak English.

He has been pampered for so long that he and his buddies at RNC are so out of touch with reality, btw I have the Brooklyn bridge for sale too.

Jason   September 16th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Dave, you are a jerk!!!

The have's keep their's and their own safe and happy and do not trickle it down. But, they are perfectly willing to exploit all the workers and cheap labor to help them make their big bucks and then do something very capitalist like by moving their companies over seas and eliminating jobs.

Life is not ALL about making money. Making sure that our society benefits everyone is not only an extremely Christian thing to do, it also ensures our health and prosperity down the road as US consumers have the money to spend on the rich guy's products so he can keep making money off of us.

There must be a happy median and the republican rach man's party has swung the pendillum so far his direction that the balance is off and our society is falling apart.

Obama main arguement is that he understands this. McCain does not, hence... keep doing the Bush economics and say he's not enough times so that the stupid people and the right wing morons all can convince themselves he is good for us.... when Bush has already proven his policies don't work... at the expense of all us little people.

Country (club) First   September 16th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

McCain supported the deregulation that caused so many problems. His top economic advisor, Phil Gramm, lobbied for the sup-prime mortgage, which led to other problems.

With lobbyists and special interests on McCain's campaign, how is he supposed to keep our jobs safe while extending Bush's misguided tax plans for the wealthiest 1-2%? We already see the plan is not working. Trickle "down"–give me a break.

???   September 16th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

"Enough is enough"

First McCain was using Obama's foreign policy positions, now he has resorted to actually using his lines.

McCain = Obama First.

Gary, Detroit   September 16th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Reforms on Wall St. ? Maybe. But Mc White Haired Old Dude fails to mention the reforms that are needed in Washington. That's where trade agreements and economic policies are written. He conveniently omits mentioning the millions of U.S. jobs that went overseas during the last 8 years.

mistermister   September 16th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

What if you don't have a job, and lost your savings?

Obama has shown he has the judgement to lead the nation.

McCain would appoint a committee.

Debby   September 16th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Joe in Stl, McCain said the same thing but before Obama got into the Senate so who is the leader here. I would do a factcheck if I were you.

Oh Boy!!!???   September 16th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Ads are fine Johnny. All you have to do is record your voice to say you approve this message.

Let Sarah answer some questions on her own tomorrow and pipe that same statement into the building. Because that will be the only time you hear it from here on out.

Save the jobs you so diligently work to send over seas?
Rework Wall Street to not run with the long leash you've provided?
Select a running mate that is suing to avoid being investigated for abuse of executive privilege?
Reform Washington while acting just like the current administration?

HOLY $#!T, John!

Brina   September 16th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Why is McCain following Obama instead of proving to America that he is a leader....WE ALL KNOW THAT "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" BELONGS TO O.B.A.M.A....
McCain is a joke.

Jane from Maine   September 16th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Great..now he's sounding pretty desperate! To make those silly comments about the complicated position we find our economy in really shows his lack of understanding. Promises, promises!
And, he can't stand to be alone on the campaign trail anymore...it's really sad!

JIMMY   September 16th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

How can he keep jobs safe when he doesn't even recognize that the economy is in trouble. He is too out of touch! While we work two jobs just to afford health care, he gets to fly his jet to one of his nine houses/condos! What does he know about struggle? His father and grandfather where admirals giving him the life of priviledge. Then he was even able to "upgrade" his 1st wife with a rich "Paris Hilton type" heiress! How can we expect him to understand the "real issues" that affect the 95% of the American people that he claims are irresponsible spenders! You meant to tell me that because corporations are closing and job security is not promised anymore, we should not dream to own our homes because we are greedy! McCain do us a favor and put at least 8 of your homes on E-bay and maybe you will understand what financial "hurt" is!

jeff finney   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

The only jobs safe in a McCain administration will be the lobbyists he hires to run the country on his behalf. This man is a confirmed liar and has no honor to speak of. The fact is that John McCain was shot down after disobeying orders to scrub his mission. He did not, and was shot down and held as a POW for five and a half years. Great judgement, huh? This is why he's famous? Has John McCain ever even held a job that wasn't on the government's dime?

G   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

What a bunch of B.S anyone with half a brain can figure this out. Yeah keep jobs for the CEOs and his corporate lobbyist friends. Remember his campaign manager his OWN CAMPAIGN MANAGER RICK DAVIS said this campaign would NOT be about the ISSUES but about PERSONALITY. What more does the Mccain camp have to do to tell the American people we don't care about you at all.

Jason   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

"Your savings, your jobs...I'll keep them safe."

HOW?

McCain never says how he'll do these things. Not one bit of a plan. Not one idea as to correcting things that his buddy Bush set in motion.

Please, just tell me how and maybe I'll start believing your empty words.

K. Gratt   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Last time a Bush ran this country's economy off the rails (The Savings and Loan Disaster) John McCain was in it up to his eyeballs (Keating 5). Why should we believe anything he says now?
In fact, when you don't want to take action you appoint a committee, which is what McCain has promised.

Justin, ny   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

i didn't think the McCain camp KNEW how to run a positive ad.... of course, this still doesn't tell us HOW he plans on doing anything.. because in order for him to do that, he would have to publicly announce that he will continue the Bush economic plan – political suicide.

jon   September 16th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

ladies and gentlemen,

there comes a time in everyone's life where they get to experience a great leader. A person who can unite this country and fix some of our most dire problems. No, they can't do it all, but they have the vision to lead the way for future generations to progress into the second half of the 21st century. People like John and Bobby Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Clinton, and now BARACK OBAMA. Because, honestly, who do you REALLY think will be a better leader and will have the potential to change this country for the better, Not change in a "woo-hoo change" type change, but concrete, substantial change for the betterment of this country? John Mccain or Barack Obama. The old Nixonesque type candidate, or the young Lincolnesque candidate. I'm tired of hearing that a certain candidate has no experience, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT?!??!?! Abraham Lincoln had LESS experience than Obama, and he managed to unite this country and manage to maintain it from falling apart. Nixon was forced to resign. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE THE LEADER OF THE 21ST CENTURY?? THE MAN WITH NEW, FRESH, AND PEACEFUL IDEAS OR THE MAN WHO SUPPORTS THE FAILED BUSH WAR POLICIES OF THE LAST 7 YEARS??? I'm going to be a part of history when I vote for Obama, you can be those people who sit there and watch Obama become victorious, like Kennedy or Reagan or Lincoln, OR you can be someone to help GET HIM ELECTED! TAKE PART IN HISTORY, I DONT WANT TO BE PART OF THE WORST ERA OF PRESIDENCIES IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY!

Democrat from AZ   September 16th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Please my fellow Americans see the light vote Obama!

RationalPeople4McCain   September 16th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Being an angry liberal doesnt serve as qualification to critique McCains economic policy. Our economic policy in its right is by measurable standards stable. We are in a financial recession applying only to money and lending related businesses. The 2 yr dem ruled congress has cut down any attempt to mediate rules on Wall St. Nobama wants to raise capital gains taxes among other policies to reverse the current situation. When you people are done making out with Karl Marx you may want to read up on it. None of this matters however being that the flash in the pan dem race is declining and will continue to do so. Have fun scraping off those bumperstickers. CNN please allow at least 1 conservative opinion on this post

no trickle down...   September 16th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Really? He wasn't concerned about keeping your jobs safe for the last 8 years.

He's dead right on this one – Enough is ENOUGH!
enough of the Bush/McCain Republican financial failure!

Remember the Clinton Democrat Days?
Record employment
Financial surplus
Fiscal responsibility
Prosperity

How did the Bush/McCain Republicans mess it up so badly?!
McCain had 8 years to keep jobs safe – He didn't.

And since he is under the illusion that more of the same policies from the last 8 years will bring reform for the next 4, He is doomed to failure!

Time for ACTUAL change – out with the OLD in with the NEW!

Also the Economy is strong, well as he said the hard workers and the fundamentals, as im sure all his top Business pals told him they make their employees work VERY hard and they make lots money. So Economy must be good.

I trust John McCain to keep our jobs safe more than I would that slick talking lawyer Barry – ummm, I mean Barack or BO to his cult. Obama is bad for America and it's terrifying to think of him as president. For real change, we need the Mavericks of McCain/Palin 08/12. Even Clinton won't be able to save BO at this point. The Democrats are a lost cause.

Isabelle   September 16th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

McCain's use of "CHANGE"......"Enough is enough"....

Aren't those cases of blatant PLAGIARISM??

Sometimes when I want to smile, I'll turn on the TV and watch the US men's basketball final at the Olympics 2008. I love watching Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade and the others. They put their egos aside and won one for the country. When they won, they were jumping up and down like school kids in the yard. It was great. The commentator reminded us that these guys were multi-millionaires, but this win meant everything to them.

I'm hoping that will happen in this election. I hope who ever wins will invite their opponent to the White House for dinner (start a new tradition) that will tell the world, that in the end, we're all Americans.

Senator Mccain is really out of touch. A ten year old knows we have a bad economy. Thats why you need to take care home before taking care of other people's business. We went to war and we still can't Osma. So what was your real reason for the Irag war?

Sandra, Oregon   September 16th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

uh huh, how many gullible people are going to trust McCant to fix our economic woes. He's in George W's pocket, voted with him 90% of the time, he or his VP running mate have zero experience, continue to believe him and Palin's lies and we'll all suffer four more years. I'm still lmao off over his blackberry claim and how unimaginative he is, he has to run off of Obama's slogans.

An Independent Mind   September 16th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

This blatant co-signing on Obama's theme is amazing. So pretty much the McCain campaign is trying to benefit from Obama's appeal by trying to look like the Obama campaign. This is an idea so stupid that it might actually work. He must really think American are that stupid.

Granted we're not the smartest but we're definitely not the dumbest. and I think after being on the fence for so long (and being a political news junkie), I've finally made a choice.

John McCain has a long history of protecting the money of the American people. Particularly the elderly. Remember the Keeting Five?

He'll keep us safe like we have been safe for the last 7 years. Please McCain, what is safe to you? 99 % OF US DON'T OWN 9 HOMES, or can wear $300,000.00 on back like your wife. Who are you talking about that you will keep safe. You have gone to sleep at the wheel. You have been in Washington for 26 years older then my oldest child, and what have your experience changed? Nothing! So apre us the bull, you can't nor do you have the experience to change anything or keep us safe. You adversier are the same adversier for Bush. So who are you talking about abut keeping our jobs safe. 600,000 jobs are lost so far this year. And more to come.

darko   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I hope to god they do a formal investigation of freddie and fannie. Half of Obama's team would be headed for court.

The dem's scratched and fought against BOP led bills for tighter regulation over govt backed lenders. Now that those chickens are home, Obama and Biden are trying to lay it at McCain's feet. Nice try, but the facts don't lie and they're there for all to see.

And the foundation of our enconomy IS strong. Most other economies would have collapsed along time ago under this downturn. Americans will do what they always do and we'll all be fine....less a few scheming lenders..but fine.

Safe from Palin's economic policy?

herb   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Phil Graham,McCain's chief economic advisor, is the person most responsible ( along with Alan Greenspan ) for the economic mess we are in. So how can he solve the problem? Does he still think we are a nation of whiners?

TangoDancer   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I feel safer already knowing that McCain and his Bush allies will be there to save us from the disaster that these people have created. This approach of McCain saying that he'll "reform Wall Street", "protect jobs and savings", etc... without really knowing what to do or how to do it will still work for the evangelical base and the other uninformed voters. But anyone with a college education that has studied basic accounting and written a few essays in their lives could never be duped by such cheesey propaganda. This is such a rush job. The crew behind this ad should have waited another day to see how the crisis developes rather than just throw garbage out to the TV airwaves for their base consumers to digest. What a waste of money. Good for a laugh though.

Copy Cat   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Every time Obama says something that seems to work, McSame comes right behind him saying it! Didn't Obama say Enough is Enough last week?

This is what is killing me and people are still voting for this man. First he follows Bush 90% of the time, and now he is following Obama...He is not fit to lead anything!

Joe from Georgia   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

John McCain can keep the American jobs safe by letting the market fix it as he said and if what has happen with our economy in the resent days is not enough for Americans to know how the market fixes things. Than what else need to be done? McCain = no change!

Right now the Republicans are saying the economy is not all bad. If you are now with out a job you should believe the economy is bad it is nothing wrong with believing the truth. The economy is bad!

Obama/Biden 2008

Sylvia B   September 16th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Why is the McSlime camp always stealing the phrases that were previously used by Senator Obama? OMG, they cannot come up with something original? Senator Obama was the one that said "enough is enough" and now the McSlime campaign has an ad with that same phrase. I think they should just vote for Obama and forget about McSlime.

MLD   September 16th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

With the economy in such disarray, the only thing the democrats are saying is that its the republicans fault. I guess Nancy Pelosi still doesn't realize that she has been Speaker of the House for about 2 years now.

We need an experienced individual in the White House, not a talking monkey.

Kiah G.   September 16th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

McCain has NO ORIGINAL ideas whatsoever. Women in the process didn't look into it until he was desperate. First it was experience now it's change. And finally Enough is enough. He is no leader he's a follower and a stealer of great ideas.

I can't stand this man!

kevin   September 16th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

One more thing to add.....Has McCain come up with his own slogen? Because it all sounds like the echo. GOD I CAN'T STAND MCCAIN, just saying his name makes me want to stab myself in the eye with the eraser on my pencil. Yes I said my eraser!!!! For the McCain people who are reading this message, I will break it down for you why I would choose my eraser in real simple terms......"BECAUSE IT WILL HURT MORE YOU IDIOTS!!!!!

Olivia   September 16th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

"The economy is in crisis" (Sep 16) vs. "the fundamentals of the economy are still strong" (Sep 15). Flip-flop, flip-flop, he doesn't get it.

"I'll meet this financial crisis head on" How? inventing the "blackberry"?

"Reform Wall Street. New rules for fairness and honesty. I won't tolerate a system that puts you and your family at risk," Well, that is exactly what he did during the last 26 years by diregulating the finantial markets ... he put in place this risky system with his senate vote in 1999. He used to say his nick name was "diregulator."

"Your savings, your jobs … I'll keep them safe." But he is pro- economic liberalization and pro trade agreeements that out-sourced jobs, decreased the value of US dollar and reduced the competitiveness of American industry. What a Joke!

"Enough is enough" still copy-cat from Obama. Trying to steal the Obama mantel ...Hmmmm

I say EIGHT is enough!

Poor CNN. Remember how during the primary, Anderson would cry because Hillary wouldn't do an interview with him? CNN and Anderson Cooper are both so far inside Obama's distal colon that Hillary wouldn't reduce herself to even acknowledging them......

Well, what has happened in the General Election so far?
Sarah Palin, another WOMAN, is nominated for VP of the Republican Party. First time in history.
CNN's reaction?
Campbell Brown loses it and goes into an absolute hissy fit for two full days.
CNN belittles Palin's record with Paul Begala coming out with LIE after LIE about her record. Example, "She cut the budget for special needs kids by 62%!!!!" Liar. She TRIPLED the budget. Begala says she must have learned to give a good speech from her "beauty pageant days".
CNN had on, (who by the way I used to respect) James Carville..... he holds up a photo of the outside of Palin's Mayoral office and demeans anything she accomplished and in the true-democratic way, insults small towns again....you'd think they would have learned by now......
CNN ships every pundit they have to Alaska to seek out and find ANY of the 15% who don't approve of Palin's job as Governor so they can say, "see, she's not really liked"
CNN goes on a witch hunt to find her past churches and pastors to see if they can uncover a "Reverend Wright" moment. What did they find? A devout Christian that works bipartisanly with independents and democrats who doesn't let her deep religious feelings get in the way of working for the Alaskan people.
CNN seeks out the disgusting trooper of "Trooper-Gate"...what do they find? A horrible human being that should be in JAIL.
CNN seeks out a left wing-nut environmentalist who says Palin's performance on the environment is "abbismal" (sorry about that spelling)...with Plin's 85% approval rating from Alaskans, this is pure garbage. BTW, she IS the most popular Governor in the entire U.S.
CNN gives the "old college try" to demeaning her selling an airplane for 2.1 million dollars, (after the greedy Gov. before her paid too much for it) demeans her refusing to build the bridge to nowhere and using the money for other infrastructure projects needed in her state...a project that BOTH BIDEN AND OBAMA voted FOR, who also could have sent the money to Katrina victims, but they voted AGAINST that.
CNN then realizes, wow, she may actually be the real deal, then decides to maybe show a little "Who is Sarah Palin" but just can't help themselves from belittling anything positive they find.
David Gergen starts to cry, Roland Martin FINALLY comes out and says he backs Obama, Wolf looks confused, and of course, just as I expected, Cafferty comes back on air with a new-found love for Hillary Clinton.....laughable.
CNN then sees Gibson of ABC, Hannity from FOX and Catie Couric from CBS get the first interviews....then CNN continues on by calling her a liar (the new unfounded and oh so meritless Obama talking point) for the past 4 days in a row.
I really wonder why Palin won't talk to CNN......hmmmmm anyone out there have a clue why?????????

Sally from Cali   September 16th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Would somebody write some original material for McCain.

He keeps stealing Obama's slogans and speeches. The next thing you know he's going to be saying, "I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message".

But he is learning from the best. That's just like a typical, tired, old guy, taking a young guy's idea and saying he invented it – like the blackberry, yeah, right.

I've been listening at Obama and Biden blaming John McCain and George Bush for the poor economy all day. Have I missed something? In 2006 the Democrats took control of both hosues of Congress. Dems have been in control of the financial regulatory switch for almost two years... Why have they let this happen?

John McPain   September 16th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I don't get it. He just said the economy was strong. Hist party favored the deregulation that got us here. His adviser just called us a bunch of whiners.

Does McCain care to explain what "Reform" means to him? Is it anything like how Bush brought "Liberty" and "Freedom" to the Iraqis? Cause if that's the case, I want absolutely no parts of it. Reform can mean ANYTHING. Reform it into what Senator McCain?

scoot   September 16th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

After over half a century since the discovery of computer, the Republican nominee, John McCain, still don't know how to use a computer. The question is: where's the brain in the head?
Or should this be a case of the dullest brain ruling the mightiest nation in the world?
The further down we go, the further other countries like China laugh at us.

Steve   September 16th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

McCain has also said he's stop big payouts for CEOs. The small detail he forgets to tell the American public is that he has no power over companies employment roles, nor does he have the power to stop big payouts to CEOs. These are privately-held companies. A president cannot reach down and mandate that these companies stop paying their CEOs. A president cannot reach down and tell a company to retain people.

And how will he keep our savings safe? The FDIC already insures up to 100,000 in savings, if you have your money in a bank. What will John McCain do that's different?

As long as McCain is making promises he can't keep, can I get a unicorn and a permanent rainbow in my front yard?

What the bleep is this? Enough is Enough? Yah, enough of the boneheaded republican economic philosophy that created this mess.

And another thing, now that John McCain is talking about change and saying "enough is enough" is he going to start saying "Yes we can!" reform washington (without changing the guiding philosophies) and say I "Hope" these idiotic priniciples will start working when I'm in power. Or "I am the one, I've been waiting for!"

Seriously.

I predict big time voter fraud on the Obama side. He learned dirty Chicago poitics and how to screw Alice Palmer out of a victory.

Check out his ties to "ACORN". I heard a pundit say this election will make the Bush/Gore/Florida debacle look like a tea party and could very well take a month before all is settled and we really know who got what votes.

I just feel the Axlerod/Obama machine is primed and ready to cheat.

McCain's flagrant STEALING of Obama's signiture lines is a VERY OLD BUT POTENT CAMPAIGN TACTIC. When your own position stinks, steal your opponents fire. Clinton did it to Dole in 1996. Don't be played.

These times are WAY TOO SERIOUS to vote for a candidate that plagiarizes as a chess move manoever, doing anything to "win". We need to vote for the candidate with a solid consistent change message that is in our best interests. That would be BARACK OBAMA.

Rosa   September 16th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

"enough is enough"??? next thing you know he'll claim his name is Jorack McBama.

Grow up Mr. McCain. You are the standard bearer of the Republican Party. You bragged this morning "I was chairman of the commerce committee. Every part of America's economy, I oversighted. I have a long record" . You and party created this mess. Enough is enough.

kevin   September 16th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Yeah right......all I hear from Palin and McCain mouth is "we are going to reform Washington" however, they seem to be forgetting the specifics that go along with it. Oh wait I take that back, they say the are going to eliminate emark but yet Palin took something like 23 million dollars, however, she didn't spend it for the intended purpose and decided the state would just keep the money. What the hell? Talk about picking a canidate with different views. How much sense does that make? Oh wait, this is a part of the game McCain is playing a game. He picked a women simply to take the vote away from obama since he didn't pick Clinton. What a bunch of crap. I hate this election, I'm tired of the games.

Dee Okla.   September 16th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

OUBon   September 16th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Why does McCain keep repeating Obama's themes? Probably the same reason he'll keep repeating Bush's failed policies.

We don't need a crystal ball to see the future, just look at Bush, age him a bit, make him balled and then give him a POW story.

Hey, we've seen you before!!

Joe in StL   September 16th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Too late.

McCain had his chance as a senator and failed to vote for measures that would have helped us avoid this mess.

From Obama's speech today:

"In February of 2006, I introduced legislation to stop mortgage transactions that promoted fraud, risk or abuse. A year later, before the crisis hit, I warned Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke about the risks of mounting foreclosures and urged them to bring together all the stakeholders to find solutions to the subprime mortgage meltdown. Senator McCain did nothing. "

"Last September, I stood up at NASDAQ and said it's time to realize that we are in this together - that there is no dividing line between Wall Street and Main Street - and warned of a growing loss of trust in our capital markets. Months later, Senator McCain told a newspaper that he'd love to give them a solution to the mortgage crisis, "but" - he said - "I don't know one."

"This March, in the wake of the Bear Stearns bailout, I called for a new, 21st century regulatory framework to restore accountability, transparency, and trust in our financial markets. Just a few weeks earlier, Senator McCain made it clear where he stands: "I'm always for less regulation," he said, and referred to himself as "fundamentally a deregulator."

That is real leadership from Obama.

Dabby, FL   September 16th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

I still think McCain is a decent man, but his campaign is a cancer. The campaign has taken a decent man and ran him into the ground with sleazy antics.

Barack is a decent man and has been tempted to do what McCain is doing, but he's wants to show America that there's a better way.

Let's focus on the issues, fellow Americans and stop the name calling. The issues are what's going to put gas in my car, and food on my table. The issues are what I want to teach my kids about, not name calling. We could easily get caught up in women, seniors and African Americans, but the candidates deserve better, both of them.

America 08
The whole world is watching, we can do better.

Excuse me, but wasn't it during Clintons administration that this huge meltdown had it's beginnings? Wasn't it Bill Clinton that relaxed all the rules that govern the financial institutions to make it a more amendable environment for them? Boy, look what happens when you give someone the pocketbook and then tell them to help themselves. Why is it always the Republicans fault whenever the Democrats do something and then stand around pointing their crooked fingers at everyone else, except themselves?
Get real folks, Let's put blame where it belongs for a "change".

obamacrat   September 16th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Even though he doesn't know much about the econony he is going to reform it. Even though he picked a VP that doesn't know that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were privately held companies or what an "Entitlement Program" is, he is going to reform the economy. I'm surprised he hasn't worked the term "surge" into his speeches as of late. You know something like...."what this country needs is as economic surge".

Grace Needed   September 16th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Senator McCain, how do your propose to do this when you are on of the chief engineers of its cause? You voted for deregulation. We don't trust you to get us out of the mess because you are one of the folks that got us into it. Plus, you have the very same lobbyists that favor these corporations working for you. Who are you kidding? Enough is enough is right. Enough of you and the likes of you and Palin – lying, reckless judgments and cronyism. We've had it and we aren't going to take it anymore!

Grant   September 16th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Somebody must have copied all of Obama's phrases down for him or he would have never remembered them all! Why not try to come up with one of your own John? Isn't it enough your a Carbon Copy of Bush without trying to Copy Obama too!

For a more Crumbling Economy, Less Savings and No Jobs – Vote for John McCain, George Bush's Indentical Twin. They will keep your Nation in the same Great Shape it's been in for eight years!

Sandy - PA   September 16th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

This is the most ridiculous one I've seen yet. McCain is a HUGE proponent of outsourcing. Jeez, he was in favor of selling control of US ports to Dubai. McCain also has fought every effort to secure the border, even though he represents Arizona, one of the states hit hardest by illegal immigration. He is also a proponent of H1 and L1 legislation, and voted to extend those programs. So how exactly is McCain "saving our jobs?" Please.

This doesn't interest John McCain because his wife has a private plane. The McCains haven't had to worry about the price of gas since NEVER.

I want someone in the White House who knows what it means to budget. A person who doesn't take Americans for granted–like Barack Obama.

Allthe air you used to spew the statements above, not one worrd on how you intend to keep americans working. How will you keep my $ safe by taxing me to death? And taking the $ beofe I see it.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! McBush has told so many lies that he can't even remember what lies he's told to what people! He's pathetic and unqualified to run this country. Being a war hero DOES NOT QUALIFY HIM TO BE THE PRESIDENT! He's smug and arrogant and I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Palin is almost as bad, maybe worse!

Tim   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

That's a big claim for McCain, especially after he and his aides made the claim last month that "THE ONLY ECONOMIC PROBLEM IN AMERICA IS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ONE IN THE PEOPLE'S HEADS!"

So it takes MAJOR DISASTER such as A 500 Drop in the Stock Market in one Day and CORPORATE BANKRUPTCY before McCain realizes there is a PROBLEM?????

Sounds alot like BUSH, who claimed America didn't have problems with the Middle East until we got hit on 9-11, while Bush was reading a kids book upside down in Florida!!!

NO MORE IDIOTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!

NO BUSH, NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN!!!!!

MIKE chicago   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

What a "Shame Enough is Enough"! using your opponent's lines is absolutely lame!! I cant believe this.First it was "Change you can believe in", next it was "more of the same" and now its Enough is Enough" I know what is next you will change you name to B O...shame on you Mcpale

I Invented the McMuffin... and fire   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

If you're a gardener or housekeeper, McCains got a job for you... if you're in technology, forget it, McCains got it covered...personally

Jan in MI   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I totally agree, MCCain is always using Obama's words.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH MCCAIN/PALIN

I am also sick of hearing PALIN ALL THE TIME/EVERYWHERE.

I WANT TO HEAR SOME OTHER SPEECHES TOO.

I just heard that she wouldn't have been hired to run Hewlett Packard, this was from the former CEO at HP who works for McCain.
But she said, that's not what she's running for. HELLO, the country isn't as complicated as a corporation. HELLO??????

Jason   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

It's my understanding that McCain's official position is that his for LESS regulation and oversight? Or did that change?

rice, bryan   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

if you have voted for bush over 90% of the time and you think that you can turn the economy around, i am 100% sure that's a joke.

Aleisha   September 16th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Isn't this exactly what Obama said?

First McCain wants the experience factor, then he wants the chang factor, now the reform factor. Is he going to have any original ideas at all?

CR   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Next week McCain will have a noticably darker skin hue.... Imitation...

DJ Los Angeles   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Yeah Bull is right. McCain is shoveling a pack of lies yet again. If he wants to "REFORM" Wall Street that requires more regulation.

Yet he always complains about "big government" and the Republican fairy tale that regulation = bad or "old" Democratic party doctrine.

Lies, lies, lies...nobody is buying it.

Sacto Joe   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Please! This man will say or do ANYTHING to get elected! But when it comes down to it, he's asleep at the switch.

Senator McCain's another George W. Bush.

And Governor Palin? She's Dick Cheney – with lipstick!

Susan   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Senator McCain, WHAT JOBS?!! You and your Republican buddies have let them all go to other countries!! What planet do youlive on??

Come on Americans! You can't tell me that you're buying what this guy is selling! He thought the fundamentals of the American economy were just fine, all the while a major investment company that had survived the Depression was collapsing. THIS is vision?

RSB   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

He'll say anything he thinks you want to hear – and if you won't listen to him he'll bring Palin to speak. We are learning how good her word is.
I'm ready to support someone that may not have the experience rat

Arin   September 16th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

John and Cindy McCain are looking for servants and caretakers for each of their 11 homes. Jobs first under the McCain plan.

PalinLiesTooMuch   September 16th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Yeah McBush you expect a fair mided people to beleive you to save them, I rather die than to wait Mcshame an old man to save me. You admitted you are do not have any idea when it comes to the economy and said you will start reading greespan books, but the man himself said he never seen the economy this bad in his life time, that is the economy the Bush and your policies created. As obama said enough is enough American can not take any more of this Bush/Mccain policies.

JJL   September 16th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I have one question.

How?

McCain makes all these sweeping pronouncements but never is there an explanation of how he intends to do it or what his policies are. I suppose that can be difficult when his stance changes on a daily basis, though.

Mario fl   September 16th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Candice   September 16th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

He doesn't even know the economy is in crisis! I work in a technology based field so I don't understand how a man that doesn't understand technology can save my job. This is a new era and with him admitting he doesn't nor does he want to evolve with the time tells me he is not willing to help me.

The one person who has been saying Enough is OBAMA, OBAMA and if you did not understand or you are completely blinded by the elephant in the room, let me be perfectly clear it ..... was....... that...... darn..... elitist.....democrat...... OBAMA/BIDEN 08. Don't believe the hype that the Republicans are slinging.

Stephanie Leanne   September 16th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

McCain is a millionaire who's accustomed to getting what he wants. Working in Congress is just a hobby and a stepping stone to the White House. This man does not have the drive and the determination to make a difference as Barack does. Also, he doesn't care about us, and he doesn't get it. Barack does.

John was perfectly fine talking about nothingness (lipstick, Paris Hilton, etc) until now. Now that the country is demanding he talk about issues. He's all over the place saying anything we want to hear–I don't buy it.

When I walk into the voting booth in November I will proudly cast my vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. I can't wait.

BlahBlahBlah   September 16th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

How are you going to do that, Senator McCain? By having people like Carly Fiorina on your staff – the woman who took a once-great company, Hewlett Packard, and ran it into the ground? The woman who is hell-bent on replacing as many US citizen employees with cheap foreign labor?

Pretty amusing.

Sure He will... My husband is a African-American Blue-Collar with 22 years of Military Service to USA not to mention two rotation in Iraq.. Guess what? He's working TWO job along with my full-time job and we are STILL STRUGGLING. Not to mention he can't get disability for all the crap he endured in Iraq from the VA.. Sure you will John McCain..

David, Silver Spring, MD   September 16th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

John McCain came in as a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution. Since then, he's stood by as manufacturing jobs left the country and were replaced by lower paying service sector jobs. He did nothing as the gap between the wealthiest and the rest of us grew wider and wider. He's a true believer in the fraud that is "trickle-down" voodoo economics.

I shudder to think of how low this country would sink under John McCain.

Thor   September 16th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

I believe McCain. After all he helped create the miracle which is blackberry. I'm sure he has a couple of miracles in his sleeve to help fix the economy

Milo Ippolito, Atlanta   September 16th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Funny that McCain is talking about "new rules" for Wall Street. Isn't that the opposite of the Republican platform? They're the party who's mantra is "less government; let the market take care of itself." Well, I guess that plan didn't work so good.

McCryptKeeper/Cruella 08   September 16th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

No mention of Obama. No slam or negativity against his opponet? Whether you agree with the premise of the ad or not, praise be to God that there's no blame placed on another individual. Come on Dems, follow suit. Let's talk about issues and how we're going to get out of our current economic woes. Let's talk about each candidates prescribed policies, not personalities. Leave Biden and Palin on the sidelines for now and concentrate real hard on Obama and McCain.

Yet McCain cannot offer one solution, one idea, one plan, but yet we are suppose to believe he can do all of these things.

THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ALWAYS DEPENDED ON THE IGNORANCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO DRINK THE KOOL-AID BY THE GALLON!

Brandon   September 16th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Wake up people!!! How is Obama going to pay for his health care plan and other promises without raising taxes on everyone but the poor, who don't contribute to the tax revenues anyways? Are we trying to be socialist Europe all of the sudden? Actually look at how incomplete his ideas are instead of being brainwashed by his speeches.

Lynn:60 yr old Obama supporter   September 16th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

All rhetoric...smears...lies. He has no plan and is running a campaign with lobbyists responsible for the financial mess.

Obama laid out six foundations for his economic plan. It is unfortunate CNN has chosen not to publish these, but will no doubt continue to say there are no specifics. CNN and the rest of the MSN like McCain like to deal in meaningless soundbites and don't offer the voters a chance to read/hear thoughtful, fleshed out policies for complex problems.

FLDem   September 16th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Yes, he'll keep your job safe for the outsourcing in India.
Really, I don't understand why people are still supporting him. It's his party that caused the problem! He's only going to make things worse!

McCain please visit Webster Dictionary. You will discover a world of WORDS available for slogans. That way the Kingergardeners you lied on Barack about won't be calling you a COPYcater.

JD in NC   September 16th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

McCain says the strength of the economy is the American worker... except we outsourced all those jobs! Unless he meant illegal Mexican workers?

Eugene   September 16th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Keep what jobs safe? According to his statement this Monday, "the fundamentals of the economy are still strong". Is this an admission to his incompetence and a subtle acknowledgment that he is indeed not in touch? Obama all the way!!!

Gary Jaussaud   September 16th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Gary's comment is:

For Sen. Mc Cain is duck and cover time, again he does not say what
he will do in real terms just he will fix everything. President Bush sat
in office for 8 years and did not do much to keep an eye on these big
money folks, and here we are, what will Mc Cain do to fix the problem?

Again we default back to Gov. Palen and her ability to run the country
will all we have going on, It would be a worry for me if I were Mc Cain.

And the beat goes on, and all the while we the people are slipping away further and further in our lives.

John McCain keep your savings safe?? HA!!! Much like John McCain kept people's savings safe in the Keating Five scandal at Lincoln Savings & Loan? (people lost their live savings and McCain was accused of using very poor judgment)... Much like John McCain's son kept the savings of people safe at the Silver State bank he ran? (the bank collapsed and required an FDIC bailout)

Comment   September 16th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

I wonder who he got the phrase "enough is enough" from. Whose leading who???

Shannon WA ST   September 16th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

If he can keep jobs safe, why isn't he doing it now?? And why did he tell people in Michigan that the jobs weren't coming back? I think he likes to talk the talk but when it comes time to walk the walk hes just all talk!

Lesley   September 16th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Meanwhile his campaign is saying that the president shouldn't be invovled in policy specifics, that it should be done by qualified advisers. It's obvious that if McCain were elected, he wouldn't be doing anything but turning over the running of the government to advisers. Who would they be? The same people who brought us 8 years of George Bush. Thanks, but no thanks!

Chris   September 16th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Look at his voting record. The same policies that McCain has supported over the last several years are the same policies that brought our economy to its current situation. If he is president you will see the same economic trend from the last 8 years repeated over the next 4 years. He has publicly admitted on several occasions that the economy is not his strongpoint.

Hey CNN – you think after Obama is elected President, you-the media could keep McCain's life events posted on the ticker so we can have something to laugh about. I have never known a person as big of a joke as McCain in my entire life.

Thanks a bunch.

Will from NYC   September 16th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

ENOUGH Mr McCain... Enough pandering and tell us how you intend to do all this considering you been a part of the problem for 26 years. How? consider Phil Gramm is you advisor and he advocates for de-regulation and his de-regulation is what got us into this mess...

McCain Invented the Blackberry   September 16th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

John McCain is the best man to keep jobs safe because:

1. He doesn't think he knows as much as he should about the economy.

2. He feels divorced from the concerns of the everyday person.

3. One of his top advisers thinks he's not qualified to run a corporation.

And last, but not least...

4. Because he invented the Blackberry!!

Becky   September 16th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

"Enough is enough" sounds familiar... Oh yeah, Obama has been saying it.
