NEW AD: McCain says he can keep jobs safe
(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.

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.
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.
McCain PROMISES!
McCain VOWS!
McCain PLEDGES!
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!
he doesn't know about them foreclosures, but don't criticize McCain, don't you know HE WAS A P-O-W ???
McCain = what a joke
i'M JOHN McCAIN AND IF YOU VOTE FOR ME, YOU WON'T DIE OF FEVER BLISTERS.
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN PROTECT YOU FROM THE INEVITABLE DEMOCRATIC-CAUSED FEVER BLISTER OUTBREAK.
Notice how JM keeps using scare tactics. First he'll keep us safe from terrorist and now he'll keep our jobs safe. I'm tired of the RNC attempts to scare me into voting for them
Obama-Biden 08!!
lol He said Enough is Enough
McCain is a copy catter lol
OBAMA/BIDE the right and real change for America
Senator McCain has been sniffing the White-Out again.
You stupid Republicans have put all of us in this economic trouble..stop that useless war you bums..and yes for God sake stop lying.
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.
@georgia independent
THAT WAS FUNNY!!! THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID!! I BET ALL SEVEN OF HIS HOMES HAVE EVERY BILL PAID!!!
HOW!?!?!?
Just saying that you'll achieve a noble goal isn't enough when your whole philosophy for 25 years has gotten us into the current mess.
Pathetic.
yeah....all the jobs he wants to outsource?
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.
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
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.
hahahahaha....sorry I can't stop laughing...hahahahaha........he should be a comedian....hahahahahah
I managed to pull myself together,sorry about that. Once question though the part about "New rules for fairness and honesty" does that mean you don't plan on having the pathological liar palin on your team anymore?
Tell Biden and Obama to go buy a toaster!!
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.. I wonder how he would feel about us living in one of his Seven Houses....
How will Sure you will help us John McCain.. Sure you will..
Barack Obama for President
How can McCain keep jobs safe if members of his own campaign acknowledge that he couldn't even run a company! Logical misstep, anyone?
YEAH............NOW I CAN RELAX.........GEEZER AND GIDGET HAVE TOLD ANOTHER BIG FAT LIE.
I AM SICK OF McBUSH'S LIES. PLEASE RID THE AMERICAN AIRWAYS OF THIS FAKE WANNA-BE AND HIS LIPSTICK WEARING
COLLEGE FLIP/FLOPPER.
OBAMA-BIDEN 2008/2012
