CNN

McCain's losing it, very publicly and very noticeably. I don't like him or his policies, but I actually find myself worrying about him - he looks confused and feeble and often wears this absent beatific smile you see on the very old.

The old man is yelling at the walls again.

Are you kidding me?? McCain won't release his economic policy plans until AFTER the election? Just as I expected – McCain has NO PLAN for the economy or anything else. It is why he never answers any questions asked him about the issues. I guess we are not going to hear why Palin is qualified to be VP until after the election either. I'm amazed that anyone would take these two morons seriously. McCain and Palin aren't going to do anything for America. They will just say anything to get elected. They have no plans and they are both a joke.
Obama Now More Than Ever!!

I'm thinking your headline doesn't match your story.

Current headline: "McCain goes on the attack over economy"

More accurate headline: "McCain attack suggest hypocrisy, dishonesty"

Come on, CNN. I don't want you to create news, but don't bury it either.

Hey, CNN. Where's the article about Charlie Rangel being in trouble again?

wow, the only bigger hack shills in the media for Obama and the DNC are MSNBC. CNN, you're totally inappropriate and biased in your campaign coverage.

The fact the economy is doing bad benefits Obama?

The fact that the surge is working benefits McCain. So what? Oh that's right, the surge is currently being undone because we're arresting iraqi soldiers.

Nevermind.

Obama 08

The war has drained the American economy. Where do we go from here? McCain's advisors' talk of him outlining specifics after election is a cop out. He has not even an iota of what to do right now.

I am an Independent. I supported John McCain in 2000 and Joe Biden in 2008. I think Joe Biden would be a great president although the majority of people do not agree. I am glad that he is on the ticket. I hope Joe will be able to move to Washington. He will be a great VP as well as a president (if he ever gets an opportunity).

Obama's economic plan is online for all American's to read and review.

McCain's plan...DOESN'T HAVE ONE!!!

How can anyone think McCain is right for stablization of U.S. economy when he has said 16 times since running for President that he still thinks the "fundamentals of the economy are strong" but doesn't even have an economic plan.

Obama/Biden is what this country needs!!!!

McCain does not know anything about the America economy or economy at all. If John McCain, Lou Dobbs, and all of the other Republican commentators on CNN could just listen to Barack Obama speaking in New Mexico they all would learned something about economy. Lou Dobbs has been asking for Obama to tell him something about his economic plan and today Obama has. Also, as Obama has said “ go and look at my economic plan on my web site” just maybe all of those who think he don’t and can’t clean up the mess that the Republicans (McCain/Bush) had made them just keep thinking that because my man Barack Obama is just getting started. He is about to set it on fire.

McCain = no change

Obama/Biden 2008

We are sick and tired of hearing John McCain Whinn and mone each and every day. He need to come up with some real solutions to real problems. NOW. His campaign has become a traveling circus. I for one am sick and tired of him complaining and NEVER focusing on the issues of our economy, the iraq war, and health care. This is what the majority of the people are concerned about. Leave your Washington insiders "GONG SHOW" act out of this campaign.
STICK TO THE ISSUES. Stop all these UNNECESSARY DISTRACTIONS AND DISTORTATIONS. Believe it or NOT the voters can see right through you.

Again waiting on Barack's ideas to claim as your own.

McCain/Palin READY TO FOLLOW NOT READY TO LEAD

After stealing the flags,
after stealing his phrases,
after stealing his campaign slogan,
after stealing his point of view....

u wish u could hear his plan..Don't u McCrap
u'd steal the shirt off his back wouldn't u.. Originality is beyond you.

McCain= A torn, dirty, wrinkled EMPTY SUIT...... at a discount store

Ha Ha!! According to the latest polls.., CNN's best team in politics is now recognized as a complete biased joke by the maority of Americans. I wonder which ones are going to be axed next year when they finally wake up and smell the missing capital??

Oh, yeah, the Democrats in Congress, stymied by Republican filibuster, is supposed to undo in two months the damage done by the deregulatory, rich-first, trickle-down philosophy that's been pushed by the Republicans ever since Reagan. The same philosophy given full rein during the first five years of the Bush administration.

Get real, McCain. You guys made this mess, now own up to it.

McCain's starting to sound like the late Rick James. "Why would I vote to put Americans out of jobs? That's silly. Yeah I did it. Then people in Detroit were making too much money anyway."

Surely Palin knows the sound of ice cracking beneath her feet, heck she should be use to it.

I believe Obama hasn't commented on the AIG bail out because he doesn't speak off the cuff. He seems to be intelligent enough to delve deeper into the story before making any comments. I wish McCain would do the same thing. It's great politics to immediately say what you're thinking, but without any research to make an informed decision, your comment is worthless.

McCain and Palin is just repeating what the Democrats are saying. I am so sick of it. They are shameless with their lies.

Joe Biden is so cool. He is our man who understands the American workers not these two morons...

Blue Collar Workers get out and vote for Obama / Biden '08.

actually, isn't "W" still on the job????

McCain,
Please take a nap and get your FACTS Straight first before you speak!

According to a CNN fact check, Obama's tax plan would increase taxes in 2009 on the wealthiest 20 percent of households, while offering tax cuts for the other 80 percent. The largest increases would be on the top 1 percent of earners, according to analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan research group whose staff of experts includes former economic advisers to the White House and Congress under both Republicans and Democrats.

By comparison, the Tax Policy Center analysis says McCain would offer tax cuts across the board. Those at the top end of the scale would get the biggest percentage cuts under McCain, while households with the lowest incomes would receive the largest percentage cuts under Obama's plan

Jeez, I guess all CNN has become is a place for rude, cranky Democrats to spew their hatred all over the place. I couldn't stand myself if I was so negative all the time. I guess if Obama becomes Prez they'll FINALLY shut up so I don't have to hear it anymore!

We want to hear about the issues, and that is something your campaign doesn't want us to know about Mr McCain

WHINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY

McCain/Palin is a train wreck. They lie, smear and misrepresent without compunction. I don't want my country in their hands.

How long is CNN going to let McCain loose his mind? McCain can not stop lieing, he is a trip, the more he talks the more I tune him out. Its so bad the news people just report and make no comments on it. And yet every night I listen to CNN say "KEEP THEM HONEST" that's a damm lie. Stop giving McCain and his terrible campaign air time when they lie. I'm sick of it.

Obama 2008

I support the WASP(Woman Against Sara Palin).

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

How is McCAin a liar the Dems. ran Fanny and Freddy in the ground by approving home loans that couldn't be paid back. Barney Frank is the worse culprit in all this so Obama should have a solution for all this since he also benefited.

I find it interesting that in just 3 years Nobama has receive the 2nd most in donations from Freddie Mack and Fanny Mae. And that Nobama's TOP finacial advisors made MILLIONS off of those 2 FAILED institutions and now "we the taxpayers" have to bail them out.

A federal investigation needs to be launched to see ALL the the government officails that allowed this to happen

Nobama was bought off by these guys and now they work for him

Obviously, bad economy favors Obama but its McCains and his thuggy friends the republicans that cause the bad economy.!!!!

McCain-Palin–based upon lies, distortions, and deceptions.

just don't understand why Mr. McCain snubbed Mitt Romney. Romney is a man of business as well as a man of faith. I was excited by Sarah at first, but with all this coming out about her using a personal yahoo account for government work, I am questionning her judgment. Mitt Romney understands the economy, and has strong judgment about how to proceed in the world. I am afraid it will be Obama in 2008. All I can hope for now is Romney 2012…

The Economist–periodical for and about the industry–supports McCains goals for economic recovery.

More lies from a coward who can't defend his own abysmal record on the economy.

I laugh at you John McCain,and call you a liar.

I like how those on the right like to remind everyone that the Dems have had control of Congress for the last two years. Tell me, how is the majority to get anything done when their legislation is immediately vetoed by the obstinate fool in the White House if it contains even a hint of something that doesn't tow the party line? The majority is not enough to make legislation veto proof.

I believe it was Gloria Berger who said "the first rule of hole is to stop digging"

I think I will be jumping ship. After this, the Caribou Barbie comments and Charlie Norris the other day, this ship is sinking fast. Time to cut my losses.

Obama\Biden 08

Wallstreet troubles mimics the S&L scandel of the late 80's which McCain and Cindy were involved in. How can McCain help when he played a part in the keating 5 scandal?!

both experts on Larry King last night (yes even the one for McCain)
said Obama has the right stance on the economy and that McSame
really doesnt have one!!

At Joyce 3:44 pm your post made it on they just forgot to remove the moderation:-)

And about Charlie Black & Gulliani saying an attack would seal it for McCain?

wow.. these people make me wanna vomit!

-V

Give me A break! Or better yet, make that: give US a break!

Is anyone falling for McCain's rhetoric? Perhaps Phil Gramm might.

Yes because your voting with the President on every single BAD FINANCIAL decision had NOTHING to do with it. It's all Obama's fault!

Can some one who is for McCain tell me why when he is speaking with Gov Palin after she speaks people leave. This has been happening for a couple of times now. Also can you tell me why you would want someone who is like you to be pres. I don't . Oh forget it I don't think I could get a real answer anyway

Boy McCain sure is getting some different advice. He is saying what he thinks the american people want to hear whether or not it is the truth. He really has no plans for the economy. He has said so in the past. Just more lies from the McBush camp.

Obama's top advisers were in charge of Freddie and Fannie. Why does Obama still have these people on his staff? They are the ones responsible for the fleecing of American tax payers..

McCain has said he doesn't understand economics....its clear he is very confused when he thinks that workers are economic fundamentals. McCain is clueless and worse, a liar. This is his last run at the presidency and he will do anything to win. Picking a Pro Choice clueless governor won't help him win it either!

"The criticism comes just two days after his own domestic policy adviser said a complete plan from the Republican presidential nominee WOULD NOT BE REVEALED UNTIL HE WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE."

Pandora's box is up for election? Interesting tactic though: Vote for us, we will certainly surprise you.

And half of the US does not seem to mind... simply shattering.

Old Man McPanda Bear is....DESPERATE.

THIS>>>>IS>>>>NOT>>>>THE>>>>CHANGE>>>>WE>>>>NEED

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ENOUGH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Barack Your Vote!!!!

I am still waiting for McCain/Palin to start an intelligent discussion on the issues. Failing that he can buy a condo in Brooklyn Heights and declare that its proximity to Wall St. makes him an expert on the economy.

The Obama tax plan will not work and i will tell you why. Lets just say that Obama saves you $3000 in taxes which is more than his plan would save you anyway. When he raises the taxes on corporations they will rise the price of goods. So when you are paying $1.50 more for gas, spending $50.00 more every time you go to buy food, spending spending $10.00 more for a pair of pants. He will have lowered your taxes by $3000 but your cost of living will have gone up by $6000. As you can see it looks good on paper but it hurts families in practice.

Today in the Atlanta Journal Constitution – Opinion article by Jay Bookman:

"The McCain campaign has bet the ‘08 election on a belief that facts, reality, history and issues don’t matter anymore. All that matters is projecting a version of reality that voters find attractive."

John McCain must have George Costanza as an adviser:

"John, if YOU believe it is true, then it is"

Obama/Biden

forgot....
he must have the secret plan that he will not tell anyone unless or until he elected on this subject, just as he has on how to capture BinLaden....
COME ON

McCain=Bush. He's been an antiregulation, hands-off senator for years and years. He bears COMPLETE responsibility for this. For McCain and all his 26 years in Washington to blame Obama is just another sad, dishonorable chapter in his low-road campaign. And it's just more lies, distortions, mudslinging from the GOP.
McCain must retire (he's well past that age) and Palin should go back to Northern Exposure. Her 15 minutes are OVER.

The congress had plenty of time to spare for the steroid issue in baseball. When will they spend as much time addressing the criminal actions taken at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in order to increase the bonuses? The American tax payers are entitled to answers seeing as how we will have to now pay to clean up a mess that the Democrats and Republicans both failed to address.

On the Attack ? ! When did McBush change uniforms. Bush has ruined our economy and McBush has voted with him ninty percent of the time. McBush must be attacking himself in the mirror. And ! I love how he says elect him first then you will see his plan. Suckers!

2 lies don't make it true.

This guy is always contradicting himself. I read the article and it sounded to me like he was accusing Obama of doing what McCain is doing. What is wrong with him?

But on Tuesday, when asked how much worse the economy would have to get before the campaign released a specific plan, McCain senior adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin said that it wasn't "imperative" for an "exact" plan to be drawn up yet.

Ok so it is not necessary for him to have a plan, but he is going to do something....WHAT? But he is saying obama has to have one..
This old man has truly lost it...
WAKE UP AMERICA

MY WIFE SARAH OPPOSES SARAH FROM GETTING TO THE OFFICE.

SHE SAID, SHE IS CLUELESS

Important for Americans to know is Obama's advisors are two lobbyists and former managers of Lehman Brothers and Freddie Mac, both of which JUST failed. One received over 90 milliion dollars in compensation.

Even more interesting, before Freddie Mac fell, it gave Barack Obama over $85,000 in campaign contributions.

Obama is in over his head with failing institutional officers, who are advising him on the economy.

No thanks............McCain is the man for us, not Obama.

But the fundamentals of the economy are strong, right McCain? Just ignore the drops on Wall Street, foreclosures, and unemployment to produce more deregulation that you supported to attribute to these problems. Give me break!

here goes again...Mccain, playing a game of confusion and distraction with LIES...

so far it worked.............not any more..... you need to invent new TRICK before time's up.

Come on people! Do we still want to love our lives in fear as that seems to be the only way the republicans can control us! I'm tired of living in fear everyday. I can't even look at John McSame anymore. Nothing but lies come out of his mouth! Fire the sec guy? How about what Phill Gramm has done to this economy...how about what you have done in congress the last 8 years! Go away John and take Ms awful with you!

I'm not calling anyone a liar. But, this is a textbook example of how lies get out. Even good honest people can fall victim to the "he said that they said that he said" stuff.

OMG!
That OMG is for the American people who will by into this latest spoken words of the Aging McCain.
On one hand he says Sen. Obama has no experience
On the other, Sen. Obama is responsible for his and George Bush's Republican mess.
Remember McCain....The dems just got power in the house....They are responsible for cleaning up your parties shortcomings!

they have NO PLAN but complain about Obamas...O I get it their plan is the same as Bush's plan...no need to share! Its the same folks!

You have clearly had a mini-stroke to come up with that pile of nonsense. Is this the LIE DE JOUR?

When Lehman Brothers was collapsing a few days ago, McCain was STILL saying "The Economy is Strong". A few days before that, McCain was touting his record as a de-regulator and hitting Obama with the old "They want too much government" song. MCain been a de-regulationist for 26 years, and now, suddenly, he wants to control Wall Street (he can't...it's privately held companies) he wants to end payouts for CEOs (he can't...they work for privately held companies) and he wants to make things "transparent". I sure would like someone to ask him what he means by "transparent" and ask him why he changed his policy 180 degrees in 24 hours. I think the only thing "transparent" around here, is the Palin-McCain willingness to say ANYTHING to pander to the public.

If it suddenly came to light that the public wants political candidates to wear red foam-rubber clown noses, and big floppy shoes, you'd see these two the next day wearing them, and saying it was their idea, and in fact, they invented clown noses....wait a minute...maybe they DID!!!

How many spending bills did McCain vote against? Which party has been in the White House for the last 8 years? Which party controlled Congress for 6 of those 8 years? Nice try, McCain. Go sit in your rocking chair.

Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama are the two TOP recipients of Fannie Mae LOBBY money.

Careful where you point that finger Barack, you may put your own eye out.

A constant old man liar and a woman who is shielded from the real press. Now there's some change we don't believe in! No you can't you big fat liar.

If you were a former Clinton supporter and vote Mccain then you have made it personel and really do not care about the issues. You are most likely well off and it does not matter who gets elected. Why would you care if the poor continue to suffer, or why would you care if millions never get health care its not you right.

"jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius" – Fulton J Sheen

McCain/Palin

You can tell that the Media (except for Faux News of course) is just starting to get tired of McCain just lying and making ridiculous and unfounded accusations.

They are becoming more and more harsh (and truthfull) about him.

The Free-Ride Express is over John. Welcome to what the rest of politicians actually have to face. We all know you haven't had to do this for over 10 years but that ship has sailed.

He is starting to lose it more and mor every day. He might not make it to the election.

What the Obama camp HAS been saying all along is that when the election discussion is focused on the ISSUES it benefits Obama.

When YOU are successful at diverting it to lipstick, fear and your POW-ness, it's not good for Obama, and sir, it's also not good for America.

More unsubstantiated accusations from the Republicans who seem to have forgotten that they were in charge for the majority of the last 8 years and also control the White House. They're so busy spinning it's a wonder that they haven't toppled over from dizziness yet.

Personally, I'd rather hear what the presidential nominee intends to do about the issues instead of hearing that his advisor thinks that he doesn't need to tell us those minor details. Let's show the McCain/Palin ticket that this election is about issues and NOT personality...although I'd much prefer to visit with Barack and Joe than John and Sarah!

Watch how he clenches his teeth when she butts in. ha ha ha

Speaking of butts – notice how he is always looking at hers?

McCain will lose this election. Not because of Palin (though she's a terrible pick- can't wait to see her squirm during the debates!), not because Obama is more popular- but because he is too concerned with pleasing the Republican party (ie the good ol boys he's pretending to distance himself from) when he should be focusing on the American people. He has made that obvious, and it is unfortunate that someone so brave in war can be so cowardly in politics.

A dying animal attacks itself.

Can you see America? Can you see how pathetic John McCain has become?

Somewhere inside that man's skull there has to be some modicum of intelligent insight, but the buildup of Beta Amyloid Plaque has completely cut it off from the rest of his brain.

He is totally lost, disoriented, doesn't know where he is.

America, pity John McCain, and gently but kindly tell him no, he can't be President.

Wow.
The more McCain talks the better it gets. NO CLEAR PLAN but like anything else, lets BLAME OBAMA.
Notice how they never have any evidence to back their claims. In the court room, all of there claims would be dismissed! CASE CLOSED!
They are trying to change the issue since they don't have anything to run on.

Can November 4th get here so this country can go backwards or forward... the stress of the McCain nightmare is just becoming unbearable.

Seems like most of those that have already posted an opinion don't actually know any facts. Why does that not surprise me.
Obama's plan is to raise taxes, redistribute income (just not all of it), and be a celebrity.
That's Socialism, pure and simple. You morons that don't understand it need to get a life.

I wonder how many more times his words will flip.

Enough is enough

Just say no to:
No More McCain &
Taliban Palin

We have had enough McPain.

McCain "I'm for change now! Enough is enough! And throw in what ever else that guys says that works! Is John McCain just a mirror of what ever works on the campaign trail for Obama? He is doing much better mimicking other people slogans than when he opens his mouth and says stuff like "the economy is strong" or "I'm not sure how many houses I own", or my personal favorite "economy isn't one of my strong suits" .

I think to myself, just as my day begins, I wonder what and how many lies McCain/Palin and the republicans are going to tell today?

McCain/Palin and the republicans never seem to let my thought down –they actually haven't missed a day yet.

Keep up the 'BAD' work guys.

Sorry McCain, you can't shift the focus away from the ECONOMY! We are not 72 yet and we don't own hundreds of millions like some beer company owners do, we are worried about our FUTURE! So sorry to disappoint, but your out of touch attacks just won't do this time! We desperately want change!

Lies and lies !!!
Where is his before he requests those ofothers.
Should we say Bush is also waiting for Obama's Plan ?!
He already requested way back to put in billions to resque the forclosure and no one is listening. The only thing youhere he has no plan. Act on his proposal like you did on striking Pakistan, time frame ib Iraq or again keeping the channels of communication open !!!

So McCain can fix the economic crisis, but he won't tell us how until he's President? Somebody please give me a break! This pandering fool makes me sick.

During this rally, McCain said that if he were the President, he would have fired the Chairman of the SEC. WHOOPS!! The President doesn't have the ability to fire the Chairman of the SEC. How about you start by firing your campaign managers/lobbyists instead?

This reeks of desperation.

Usually if you're going to make allegations like that you want to back it up with some verifiable sources. I guess those rules don't apply to Johnny.

Your lack of specifics is killing you McCain. Your ignorance of the issues is starting to become blatantly obvious.

His policies are either the same As Bush's or worse.

McCains interview about inviting the Prime Minister of Spain to the White House. if elected.
"Another Senior Moment". She asked him about the Prime Minister of Spain, he answers about Mexico???? What the?
Everyday is't something new. This is very, very scary.
This man is 72 yrs old. He could be 80 before he leaves Washington. He needs to retire to one of his seven homes, before he invades the wrong country.

McCain is part of the problem. He has no plans, visions, or ideas for the economic mess, created by the Republican party, that we are in. This man doesn't even understand economics. He's a lying fool, just look at him. His ads are all false and misleading. I cannot wait until the debates begin.

MCSHAME TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY IS LIKE

A RAPIST OFFERING COUNSELING TO HIS VICTIMS.

McCain admits he lied about his age to his wife at the beginning of their relationship. He's now lying to the American people about the state of the economy. He'll say anything to win a relationship.

Can anyone take the McCain/Palin ticket seriously anymore? They offer NO solutions to any of our problems. its pathetic, really...

if there are any people that happy about the wall street explosion, it's the oil backers. oil goes up when the 401k's and ira's drop. big oil, and bush have no shame when it comes to kicking the average american when they are down.

People are beginning to see through the rhetoric of the McCain/Palin ticket. If Palin ever answered an unscripted question, we will see more of this exposure!

Such a liar...................

MACAIN IS LOSING IT! HE IS BEGINNING TO BABBLE. HE NEEDS TO FAKE SICK OR SOMETHING AND STEP ASIDE BEFORE HE ENDS THIS IN PURE DISGRACE.

And he attacked Obama after McBush has spent 26 years in Washington and I bet he wore his $500 dollar loafers.

Another McCain lies.

He has no clue!

life was so much easier for McSame when all he had to do was be a war hero, then those darned things called "issues" started up again.

McCain makes accusations based on zero facts. He is showing his senility. My claims are true, he is mentally unfit to be prez.

If McCain starts telling everyone that HE'S the black candidate, I'm leaving the country.

how much you spend in IRAQ John mcdrill?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! go home man please

And his own advisor says they don't need a plan urgently, that it can wait until President McCain sends it to Congress.

This, plus the Spain thing, plus Palin's plan to introduce a Federal budget transparency program that Obama already introduced two years ago (with McCain's backing)...

McCain and Palin are freaking clown shoes.

At least it's entertaining.

McCain = Bush = Established Washington Status Quo

McCain should be attacking himself on the economy. Voted with Bush over 90% of the time to get this economy where it is today.

Voted to send 10's of thousands of jobs overseas. Voted to allow the investment firms risk themselves into bankruptcy. Voted for tax breaks for Big Oil and other huge corporations while not supporting EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.

Who are you trying to fool, McCain?

McCain for President, of the Arizona Retirees' Bridge Club!

If you like McCain's speeches on the economy, you should vote for his speech writer because it's painfully obvious that McCain's only ability is to read those speeches word for word. He appears to have no ability to formulate his own thoughts on economic issues.

He says that no one can out-work an American, but his policies drive all of the domestic work to foreign lands, so who cares how good the American worker is.

Let's see:
McCain has eight or nine houses! +
His wife wears $300k dollar dresses for one night ! +
She INHERITED the 100 miilion from her daddy! +
He has been inside Washington's limos for 25+ years! =
This guy understands me(I made 46k with extra OT)!

For the little guy,
McCain/Palin in 2108!

Uhhh .... John ... regardless of what the legislation is that the House and the Senate vote ... George Bush still had to put his signature on it. And since, you too were in the Senate with Mr. Obama ... aren't you equally responsible for what the Senate hasn't done?

Palin is "failin" women

Always has, always will

So if we vote for John,

we can bid women's rights so long.

Obama/Biden 2008!!!

McCain can't help Palin and Palin can't help McCain because neither don't know what the H is going on. How in the world could McCain and Palin think people are so stupid to vote them into office on a pack of lies and misinformation. We've had enough lies and misinformation to last us a lifetime. McCain and Palin are sinking their own ship without any help from Obama.

Hey Mister Been in The Senate Forever...Quit blaming everyone else for the economic mess.

McCain dont blame Obama for the economy blame the republican and Bush...Obama only trying to make everybody lives better then what it have been...Bush and McCain is messing this country up worse..Why McCain have not have a meeting with Bush telling him that we need to fix this problem now..

The U.S.A is going to be in a bigger tomoil if the GOP ticket gets ellected. Mccain is now making SPAIN an enemy, RUSIA, IRAQ IRAN AND AFGANISTAN AND ETC. IT WILL BE WORLD WAR 111 AND THE AMERICANS WILL HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES. they voted bush in office twice but this one is really going to bring u down AMERICA. NOT ONLY WILL OUR COUNTRY BECOME IMPOVERISH-THE EUROPEANS ARE ALREADY WARNING THAT THEY DON'T WANT AMERICAN IN THEIR COUNTRY WHEN THE DOO DOO U MAKE START WHOOPING UR BEHINDS.

I truly respected and liked the John McCain of 2000. However, everyday McCain and his surrogates sound more and more like angry out-of-touch dill-holes, intent on focusing on anything except solving the problems that we as a country face. Maybe that's what happens when you're 72 and you're in the campaign grinder for 18 months – you start to lose your marbles (I also think McCain should've used Mike Murphy as his chief campaign strategist, as in 2000, rather than going with the Karl Rove clone named Rick Davis). I long ago decided that the Democrats (Hillary or Obama) were a way better option than anything the Repubs. could throw our way this year. I only hope the majority of my fellow citizens agree with me on Nov. 4th.

Which economy, the one he says is fundamentally strong....

McIdiot's plan is to get into the White House and appoint a commission to come up with a plan. That's his plan for everything. Get in there and delegate the work and then sit back and be briefed. He doesn't understand the economy, he doesn't understand national security, he doesn't understand people. So basically he would be just like Bush and make important, life affecting decisions based on the brief discussions.

Gimme a break!

OBAMA / BIDEN '08 AND BEYOND!

So let me get this right...

McCain has an economic plan but the time isn't right to tell the American public.

The time will be right AFTER we vote him into office?

Thanks but no thanks.

Obama/Biden 08

Keep grasping at straws McCain or call some Dems and steal their ideas!!!

Sure John. We will all pretend that in 26 YEARS you ahd NOTHING to do with the people who put us here. You arethe 26 year DC Man who voted with the GOP over 90% of the time BUT we KNOW you didn't MEAN it!

EMOTEP-EMOTEP-EMOTEP ( get it? it is from the mummy. The zombies followed him around chanting his name like johhny expects us to)

HELLO?!!! MCCAIN ISN"T IN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, THE DEMOCRATS ARE. MCCAIN WON"T BE IN POWER UNTIL NOV. THE DEMS ARE IN CONTROL NOW. THE DEMS ARE WALKING OUT ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND LETTING THE PROBLEM GET WORSE IN HOPES THAT IT WILL HELP OBAMA. PATHETIC

McCain you and your buddy Gramm caused thIS huge destabilization of the deregulation of the same finanical institutions you call yourself an expert and champion to defeat, as a result, the American taxpayers are getting foot the bill. So don't try to distort the issue. YOU ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEREGULATIONS OPPONENTS ON THIS ISSUE. SO STOP BEING PHONY! STOP TRYING TO FOOL FOLKS, YOUR RECORD IS PUBLIC...FOLKS GO SEE FOR YOURSELF, JUST AS CNN DOES!

nice poem, donnamarie

.............................................................................

I am John McCain and i approve this message

Those are my economic plans...."Sir but that is nothing" Yes i can remember Obama's plan i will remember later"

Bunch of jokes.....today is the greatest day of revealation in American politics.

Hear ye, Hear ye, those of you infavor of the blind leading the blind, say I, and vote for the Republican ticket.

Hear ye, Hear ye, those of you infavor of just having an intelligent President say I, and vote for the Democrat.

I want to know since when did we lose our standards in this country. Wait, that happened when Bush was elected. Anyway, since when did a soccer mom become qaulified enough to be a VP or President for that matter. Yes, I know she was a Gov., but is that enough to lead the people of America? A nation losing its Identity, faith, and rituals. The Ideals that America was founded on is just that, Ideals. It is going to take a host of intelligent individuals to get this country on the right track again and install some ideas with substance to lead America back to where we need to be.

I'm sorry, its not the Rebuplican Party....

Actually they DO poll cell phones. Obamatons should quit comforting themselves with this little bit of fiction.

Ever heard of the Bradley effect or the Wilder effect? Look it up. Obama's poll numbers are WAY higher than the election will be.

McCain claims to have a plan to capture bin Laden and now he claims to have a plan to fix the economic mess we are in. The only condition – he will not release this information until he is elected?!?!

Country First?! More like Elect Me First!!!

Papa Smurf has returned from his years in Gargamel's lair being tortured by Azreal...and he is ANGRY! But oh noes! What's this? He has eaten some bad smurfberries and is talking crazy!!! Quick, somebody call Physician Smurf and have him committed before he and Smurfette get elected and we all lose our Mushrooms!!!

CNN,
You seem to have taken a stance to highlight the Republican lies and propaganda. I would like to take this opportunity to officially congratulate you on behalf of the entire American public. It's going to be an enormous feat to point out all of the Republican candidates' lies, but I have faith in your ability and I am confident that you will do your best to ensure that we the people are not deceived by these traitors

It is so funny how the McCain campaign always has some quote from somebody in the Obama camp but when they're asked where it came from nobody ever know. Obama is just reacting to the situation same as when McCain reacted to the Georgia/Russia situation. And how bout looking at the President who has been hiding behind a rock for the past 3 days and what are the republican party members doing. McCain is a member of the Senate maybe he should offer up a plan...I'll just wait for that one.

WHAT ELSE CAN MCSENILE DO TO OUR

ECONOMY THAT HE & BUSH HAVEN'T ??

THEY BOTH HAVE ATTACKED IT FOR 8 YEARS.

IT'S ALMOST DEAD. RESUSCITATING IT WILL TAKE

ANOTHER EIGHT OR MORE. THE FACT THAT THIS

IDIOT EVEN MENTIONS THE ECONOMY IS AN INSULT

TO EVERY WORKING AMERICAN & THINKING AMERICAN.

HE HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR HIS RICH FRIENDS.

Boooo... Booooo... BOOooooo. Are you going to throw me out to???

you got issues homie...

Brain-On, apply directly to the forehead!
Brain-On, apply directly to the forehead!
Brain-On, apply directly to the forehead!

McCain has run out of brain booster!

Stop whining. Where's your message Fish/Lipstick?

Dear Sen. McCain,

as I understand you are 72 years old and you have problems with memory (you don't remember how many houses you own, you don't remember that Spain is a member of NATO, and so on and on), I would like to remind you that since March you, your fellow republicans and your beloved George Bush firmly opposed to any serious attempt by the congress to alleviate the current foreclosure crisis.

In case you still don't understand the implications of this, and you still think that this is a mental recession and the fundamentals of the economy are strong, I would also like to remind you that it's the current foreclosure crisis that has ultimately exposed investments banks to the current situation.

McCain just suggested in a speech that if he were president that he would have fired the Chairman of the SEC by now. Too bad that presidents DO NOT have the authority to fire members of the SEC board.

Foot meet Mouth

Exact plan? You don't need that, just trust me.

Is this guy delusional? He will not put his plan forward because he doesn't have one. If he does have one he can't articulate it because he doesn't understand it.

What's your economic plan McCain??? Why don't you worry about telling americans your plan instead of distracting the issue to Obama??

McCain, you and Palin are ignorant fools and any repub that doesn't see that is only fooling themselves!!!!!!

Obama for President!

Yo McSame! How about your pal, Phil Gramm and the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act ? Talk about that genius!

I am soooo tired of mcliar being such a self righteous hypocrite.

Does this liar even know that his own campaign won't talk about fixes until after the election. Why does mcsenile want Sen Obama to release his ideas, so mcsenile can steal them and then lie about stealing them.

This man is unbelievable!

So McCain pretty much admitted that he doesn't have a plan for the economy? Fantastic! Now, will someone please tell me why on earth anyone would want to vote for this idiot?

MC=GW3

We know McCain that isn't what you meant. You were talking about the hard working productive American people........YEA, NOT.....

SAME OLD THANG.....SAME OLD NOT THE CHANGE WE NEED.....

NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN, AND NO I MEANT TO SAY BS.............

Let's get this straight:

His top economic advisor says he's unfit to run a corporation. He claims that the fundamentals of the economy are strong, but he can't seem to decide on a definition of "fundamentals." He feels divroced from the concerns of the common man and doesn't know how many houses he owns.

And he thinks he created the BlackBerry.

And he's criticizing the economic leadership of others?

But, he knows nothing about the economy!

LET ME ASK PELIN I WILL TELL YOU THEN

McCain is flip flopping again.

You go John! 30% of 18,000,000 votes from Hillary will be yours in November!

Yeah...good luck with that McSame. He's right about one thing- this crisis will benefit Obama politically. Why shouldn't it?

"The criticism comes just two days after his own domestic policy adviser said a complete plan from the Republican presidential nominee would not be revealed until he was in the White House."

Just another day in the McCain world. I bet he forgot his adviser said this.

And How much experience does Palin have balancing a budget when Alaska is in debt. They were not in debt before she became govenor. Just a little FYI

McCain may not think a plan is important, but I'll bet several million voters so. Myself included!

That picture is the best and most apt depiction of McCain I've seen yet.

Come on Obama knew it would happen way back in the beginning. McCain said '18 times we are not in financial trouble" – give me a break. Americans need to overlook the racism inside and get this country back on track. Vote Democratic.

McCain Lying AGAIN....he needs to take a break and take the other liar with him.

THIS IS A PIECE OF P……..A……….S……..T…R…..A……M……..I…..YOU HAVE NO PLAN BUT TO KEEP THINGS THE SAME MCCAIN

Of course this crisis will benefit him politically. Because everyeone knows the repubs have historically been horrible with the economy. Just like being in a war benefits McCain politically.,. because everyone knows that Republicans have historically been war time presidents.

LIES, LIES, LIES is all McCain/Palin have to offer..................40 minutes of sheer lies McCain and Palin spouted today. FACT-CHECK please CNN..do your job

I truly laugh when I hear a spanish person however rarely, say they are supporting mccain. Back in february a reporter supposedly off mic asked mccain what did he think about Latinos and mccain said 'off mic' "They were good for cheap labor." Then the reporter asked "Is that all?" and mccain grinned and turned his head. Anyway mccain/palin are on their own agenda to the white house, they could care less about the economy, reform (heck, she won't even testify at her own investigation, how is she going to reform washington?) blah, blah, blah

John McCain is a bold faced liar.
It's sad to see a once respected man sink so low.
Better to lose an election then lose your honor.

With a VP candidacy she’ll be a heartbeat away from the Presidency!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT MATTERS!!! She’s not a Hollywood celebrity she’s vying for the seconf most important office IN THIS COUNTRY!!! YES IT MATTERS!!!

IF SHE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE THEN PROVE IT!!!!!

I will Invent something like a Blackberry that will fix the Economy!

Then I will take a nap....

Goodnight Grandpa,Sleep tight.You served your Country well....

Obama – Biden 08

Everytime one of the GOP open their mouths it benefits Obama. HE doesn't have to do anything except be who he is = Our Next President.

Typical Democrat response "bad news is good news!"

McSame in his own words said that he does not know much about economics. Well. Now we are supposed to trust him to get us out of this mess. NOT!!!!!

Sen. McCain: ANOTHER pre-emptive strike? Or do you just THINK it is? You are so far off-base with your message these days, it is like we hardly knew ye.

Stop stealing everyone else's ideas, popularity, and energy. You wouldn't be able to do that if you ever did make it to the White House. Stop the nonsense now, before someone gets hurt by your off-track campaign. The Republicans have blown it; you are but their patsy at this point.

they don't have any clue what they are doing have completely lost direction and personally John McCain has lost his grip. It's difficult to watch and frankly quite disturbing that this person is running for POTUS.

Hold on a second, there, John! Do you actually mean to say that this isn't a 'mental' thing, and that there might be more to it than just a nation 'whining'?

Will he attack Spain next???

Mcsame, give us a break and stop trying to create distractions.

What else is new? McCain lies. THAT will be clear in those debates. I am not surprised he doesn't have an economic plan. When you yourself say, "I don't understand the economy as well as I should," then that would be the answer.

Show the audience Barack the fool that McCain is. He'll be wishing he had kept his mouth shut about you and him debating in a setting in front of an audience.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

McCain...just steal Obama's idea already and be done with it.

Follow the leader, follow Obama!

My goodness!! Does this man have no shame. Now Obama and his campaign are happy about the decline of wall st? Always trying to deflect negativity onto someone else aren't we MCCain? All the honor that this guy gained by being a POW, he is losing by running the most dishonest, dishonable and disgusting campaign ever. Please go away!

My respect for this man drops every day . . . Why can't he get back on the "Straight Talk Express" and "talk straight"? Why is this so hard for him?

A McCain campaign spokesman could not point to any specific instance of an Obama adviser or surrogate making such a comment about the Wall Street crisis in recent days.
-------

The key line, a variation of which always seems to show up in a McCain attack story.

Oh COME ON! John McCain's advisers said that it is not imperative to have a plan now! Is he serious? Is he serious right now? I can not even believe McCain, he just thinks people are stupid.

Note on the previous article, Obama simply told the truth in the Spanish ad and the repuglicans can't handle it. Not one of Obama's ads are lies. Unlike mcains. And I guess mccain and pill popping limbaugh thought mccain saying Obama wanted to teach sex ed to kindergartners was okay?? Disgusting! Now onto this article, the title is a joke. How can mccain talk about the economy when out of his own lips he said "I know very little about economic matters...I don't know much about the economy." Come on people! Good God! Some you (voting for mccain) I wonder about. I know the repuglicans tell you how to think but do they also tell you what to eat too???!!!!

Tried to steal CHANGE.

Tried to steal ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Trying to steal TRANSPARENCY.

Obama is right on almost everything, McCain is a follower.

o lord, here we go. the republican way to job start the economy. first, we have to start a war. second, we have to scare people into thinking oil is the only source of fuel, so war again. third, tell the american people that the economy is fine, and that's all in thier heads, distraction for war.

There once was a man named McCain
Who had an independent-thinking, sane brain
Now his memory is failin
And he picks Sarah Palin
Who if they win will have the US go down the drain!

So let me get this straight. McCain will not lay plans out until after he is elected, but blames Obama for a lack of responce.
Then McCain says Obama is happy about the crisis, but gives no proof.

Hmm I think McCain spent to much time as a POW....his mind is shot.

The only reason this terrible economic downturn is benefitting Obama is because you are so weak on it McCain.

No economic plan at a time when the country is in an economic crisis? What are you thinking ya old fool?

ah! I am tired of this...now I see why Obama was being covered extensively in the summer. Covering McCain is too embarrasing. I means seriously!

No it doesn't matter whether she co-operate with her allegde abuse of Power investigation. We know all along she did it, she fired anyone who doesn't co-operate with her and put her childhood friend in place.

In fack the record is there, she surrended her administration with he close friend, high school mates.

Thanks Jack, she wants to wait it out until after the election.

It is a trick jack, the Republican will never let the investigation continue.

WASP! WomenAgainstSarahPalin!

OK boys and girls - you don't get to have it both ways....you can't criticize the other guy for not having a plan but then get mad when people want to know what your plan is and you don't have one.

I heard a lot about the economy from Biden this week. Why do we not get to see more of Biden. I know he is not black, or a women, but there has got to be something positive and interesting about him that is worth reporting. So far, I am still under impressed with the current coverage, or quality of stories on him. For a story to run, it needs legs. For a man who has been in public service has long as he has, I think he is getting the short end of the stick. He may not have gotten a lot of votes in is Presidential run. But, then again, Palin did not even run. This man may seriously be the most qualified of all the candidates.

McCain is really getting desperate! I mean didn't we say the same thing about foreign policy, didn't we say that when it comes to foreign policy he will be favored! This is the lowest he got, well amongst others lows I would say...

Give me a break. How can McCain in good faith critisize Obama for something he doesn't even have the capacity to do himself.

WHAT A DILEMMA JOHN.

THE MESS WITH THE ECONOMY WILL BENEFIT OBAMA POLITICALLY AND YOU AND YOUR STEPFORD WIFE FINANCIALLY!

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM! WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO?

As long as Senator McCain is telling an untruth about Senator Obama's tax plan no one who checks the facts is going to believe him. Those that are voting for him must make over $250,000 in order to pay more taxes and anyone under that will see more money in their wallets.

There are always lots of whiners and complainers that Obama does not have specific plans (in actuality, they have been on his website this entire election cycle) but no one says anything about McCain's lack of plans.

so who is McCain criticizing, himself or his "otherself"?
I seriously am beginnig to wonder if the pressure of this race is starting to take its toll on McCain. He seems quite befuddled at times.

Heh heh heh heh.

Riiiiiiiiight.

McCain needs to retire.

More lies. They really just make stuff up. I think he McCain is veering in to "Weekend at Bernie's" territory.

I will Invent something like a Blackberry that will fix the Economy!

Then I will take a nap....

Goodnight Grandpa,

Obama – Biden 08

Can CNN now call him a liar? Heck, you could even say "John McCain, a former POW, is now lying!"

THIS SHOULD BE RATHER AMUSING...CONSIDERING HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMY OR HOW TO EVEN BEGIN STEERING IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

GETTING OLD SUCKS! POOR JOHN!

They have tried hard to steal the CHANGE message from Obama, now she is trying to steal the government spending transparency.

Do they have anything ORIGINAL, so that they can claim it is there's -

Of course, the current economic situtation, war in Iraq, budget deficit, unemployment, foreclosures, nearly 10 trillion in debt …………………………..

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I want to jump up and down like Rumple StiIt Skin because someone must adress the news flash about the skating rink in Wasilla, Alaska. How can Governor Palin, then Mayor Palin leave Wasilla, Alaska in a boat load of debt? After all she has the experience and know how to run a small town. Governor Palin left Wasilla in so much debt until the town is still trying to skate their way out of the situation.

This is NEWS! We can now come back with the question, “How much experience do Governor Palin really have? McCain seems to alway bring up Barack’s judgement. How great was Governor Palin’s judgement? What type of grade would she make in Economics 101 regarding the skating rink and the mishandling of budgetary matters for Wasilla, Alaska? Why didn’t she search for a clear title on the land of the skating rink in question? Do we really want her to be in the VP seat? We think we are in trouble, now! It took this country a course of eight years to get to where we are. I’m afraid we will be running into a head on collision in less than two years with the McCain/Palin ticket.
We don’t need it and we don’t want it. No, No, No, to the McCain/Palin ticket.

The Obama/Biden campaign cannot let this particular piece of news skate underneath the rugs (smile).

McCain, how much are you spending again in iraq?
