Wow. I'm sure glad the straight talk express is here...

McCain plays dumb on economics ignorance

By Steve Benen

Earlier this year, in a nationally televised debate, Tim Russert confronted John McCain with some of his inconvenient admissions about the economy: “You have said repeatedly, ‘I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues.’” McCain was incredulous and dismissive, “Actually, I don’t know where you got that quote from.”

Soon after, McCain appeared on “Meet the Press,” and Russert returned to the subject and responded to McCain’s slight (”I got [the quote] from John McCain”), highlighting McCain’s record of admissions about economic ignorance. “OK,” McCain said, no longer able to deny reality, “Let me tell you what I was trying to say and what I meant.”

Wednesday morning, in a disconcerting example of dishonesty, McCain went back to pretending his quote collection doesn’t exist.

He can't help it,

He's so old, he owes Fred Flintstone a food stamp.

He's so old, his memory is in black and white.

He's so old, his social security number is 1.

He's so old, his birth-certificate expired.

So???? McCain's at least HONEST----unlike Obama who will say HE is GOING to fix the economy---just like he claims he'll fix the world's weather!!!!

Truth is, BOTH would have to appoint experts in that area to advise them. And that's the sign of a good president----one who can choose the right people for those jobs. McCain can do that; Obama cannot.

Obama will surround himself with good, smart people the same as any of the Dem nominees would have. I would argue that he has shown that he would do it even better, he obviously chose the best people around to run his campaign, he won.

So did McCain. Now---winning the Nov election has more to do with the candidate himself.

Everyone can see that Obama is a good orator and can give a good speech. But he seems to be lost in impromtu settings. That's why they've clamped down on such events.

So, now THIS POST attacks a man for his age .... not his ability, nor the content of his character. Or, I supposed it could be a futile, and childish, attempt at humor.

Obama's denial of fiscal and political reality ensures that he will select competent advisers like Rev. Wright, Rezko, Johnson, and others outside the mainstream.

I don't think so, it's just everywhere he goes, 20,000 people show up.
Anyway, I can't wait until the first debate, McCain is going to get lost finding his way to the podium.

Sure----20,000 people show up. They treat him like a rock star. When interviewed some of these young airheads give their reasons for supporting him as important things like...."Because he's black," or "Because he's good-looking."

Reminds me of a skit from my Idol, the late GREAT, George Carlin speaking about, Bill Jeff.

"Hi!!! I'm completely full of s$#% and how do ya like that?"

Elected him twice.
