McCain Says Obama Will Put Country “At Risk” Economically
(CBS)
From CBS News’ John Bentley:
(GREEN BAY, WISC.) – After an earlier rally today that was heavy on policy prescriptions for the country’s economic ills, tonight’s event was a full-throated attack on the policies of Barack Obama.
“A vote for Sen. Obama will leave this country at risk during one of the most severe challenges to America's economy since the Great Depression, and that's straight talk my friends," McCain told a crowd of over 10,000 here tonight. "A vote for me will guarantee that the forces that have brought down our economy will be out of business.”
Earlier tonight, it was Obama who sought to cast McCain as the risky choice to lead America’s economy. “On Monday, he said the economy was fundamentally sound, and he was fundamentally wrong,” Obama said. “We can’t change direction with a new driver who wants to follow the same old map. And that’s what this election is all about.”
McCain, though, accused Obama of being beholden to his party’s wishes. “When it comes time to reach across the aisle, work with members of both parties, to get things done for the American people, my opponent can’t name a single occasion in which he went against his party’s leadership to get something done for this country,” he said. “That’s how we see this election, country first or Obama first.”

The next president will have such a HORRENDOUS mess to clean up, it''s a miracle Obama and Biden would even want to step up to tackle this DISASTER. EVERY Senior needs to remember Obama and Biden saw through the danger of privatizing Social Security,and voted against it, or it''d be your personal account GUTTED this week.
Bush also doesn''t hold the country''s purse strings, so he has to go along with the remedies CONGRESS insists upon.
McCain seems to be beligerant-squared and playing the Rovian game of trying to win the NEWS cycle with railing against Obama.
Obama is steady today answering questions and reasuring the Market...THAT''S LEADERSHIP.
IT MATTERS that you are in the top of your class in Harvard, not Daddy''s alumni beneficiary to get your C+ average into YALE or your Daddy the admiral getting you into West Point when you rank 884th in a class of 890.
He was the one who set economic policy for over two decades under both dems and republicans. He was the one setting the interest rates and adjusting policy for the lenders. Now he is going on the networks and trying to smuggly pass his dealings on either the dems or the republicans, depending on which network he is on. And the networks are letting him get away with it. (Which is not surprising with his wife a big muckee-muck at NBC News. Figuartively in bed with the lenders and literally in bed with the news media.)
What would you then call the last 8 years of Republiconomics?
Arrrrrr, we need to string up the scallywags and/or make%u2019m walk the plank.
Your VP who is refusing to talk with investigators.
This investigation was recently voted on by a committee with a Republican majority. They feel there is reason to continue this investigation.
Senator McCain, you can''t run from the fact that your campaign is the one refusing to cooperate with investigators.
Remember, an investigator is just like a regulator. They make sure there is no corruption.
I don''t care if the economy collapses, I want to know if it will still be safe to use Viagra.
Congress had better form a committee right away to look into this. I want to make sure that I will be able to keep doing what the politicians are doing to me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
In 1860 the Republicans were the liberal, Federalist Party and the Democrats were the conservative Ant-Federalist Party. In essence, that was the basis for the Civil War. The Republicans said they wanted a strong federal based government and the Democrats wanted less federal control. Now the Democrats are the liberal, federal party and the Republicans the conservative anti-federal government party. How did that happen?
I would have assumed that if the individual voters had changed their positions they would have just changed parties. It sounds though as if the power brokers running the parties abandoned their positions and altered them to go along with the political winds. But, that can%u2019t be what happened.
I know that the people who are at the top of the party systems would not be so cynical as to give up the values they said they believed in just to remain in a position of power. Let%u2019s face it, the NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan aren%u2019t going to just switch positions without a good reason. So why did the Republican leaders and the Democratic leaders switch positions? It wouldn%u2019t be to keep themselves in power. Would it? We can trust the parties not to abandon their values as an expediency of holding on to power, can%u2019t we?
You know, McSame can drop Palin, pick up Paris Hilton and get another bounce for a week or two and it would take everyone''s mind off the economy.
McClone really thinks we''re stupid!
He is one scary guy
