McCain has another new ad on the economy

This one is pretty much the same as THE ONE he released yesterday:

McCain debates himself — and, of course, loses

3 comments September 16th, 2008

Check out the two videos at THIS SITE, [Oops! I initially failed to fill in the link; now it’s fixed. Sorry.] the first of which has John McCain declaring that the nation’s economic fundamentals are “strong,” and the second which shows him warning that the “fundamentals are at risk.” These competing remarks were made within a period of several hours. 

No wonder his top economic adviser says he’s not qualified to run a major corporation.  (Never mind an operation the size of the federal government.):

Who are these “friends” McCain talks about?

New poll has Obama leading McCain by 11 points on economic issues

16 comments September 16th, 2008

 

The LATEST Diageo/Hotline Daily Tracking Poll has Barack Obama leading John McCain by four percentage points in the presidential race.

Perhaps more tellingly, Obama leads McCain by 11 percentage points on the question of who would do a better job handling the economy. 

UPDATE: Other tracking polls SHOW a trend toward Obama.

“The fundamentals of our economy are strong”

McCain shows leadership, boldly proposes a commission to study the economy

5 comments September 16th, 2008

 

Why didn’t Barack Obama think of THIS?

I’ll tell you why: Because he wasn’t smart enough to marry a wealthy heiress, in which case he wouldn’t have had to personally worry about a troubled economy and could have suggested that some commission be empaneled to worry about it for all the commoners who are worried about it.

And he’s probably a Muslim, too.

POSTSCRIPT: McCain not only has the bold vision to recognize the need for a commission to study the economy, he also has the scientific genius to invent the Blackberry.  At least that what he SAYS.

UPDATE: This just in: McCain ALSO INVENTED cell phones and Wi-Fi. Is there no end to the man’s scientific acumen?  (Actually, there is. He says Sarah Palin knows more about energy than any other American, which is not a very astute comment.  Or was he just joking? Yeah, that must be it.)

UPDATE II: McCain was all over TV this morning, making contradictory STATEMENTS about the role and effectiveness of economic regulations.  Poor fellow. He seems increasingly confused about things.

UPDATE III: Obama derides McCain’s commission idea.:

Noted scribe turns against his hero — and how!

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen had always been a great admirer of John McCain, whom he saw as a man of courage, honor and integrity.

Cohen includes himself among what he calls “the journalists accused over the years of being in the tank for McCain.” And then he says, “Guilty.”

But now Cohen is out of that tank, as he explains HERE.
