Obama%u2019s Speech On The Economic Crisis

"When time came to come up with a substantive economic speech"
Where has this poster been, under a rock?
The TRUTH is Senator Obama not only this week laid out what was necessary for the economy to be healthy point by point but throughout his campaign has been speaking about the gravity of the economic situation, even speaking directly to Wall Street over a year ago. What''s clear is those who claim Senator Obama hasn''t been speaking regarding these issues haven''t heard him because they haven''t been LISTENING to him.

He became Mr. Problem Solver, which is what the Independent Voters want.
Meantime, Obama took a pass. He was supposed to say something, but decided not to. He put out a bulletin on Politico.com that, apparently, said that he didn''t want to "politicize" the goings on given the negotiations on the Hill.
One guy took the initiative, the other guy was frozen like deer in headlights.
More and more this is looking like Truman/Dewey 1948. I''m serious. McCain was left for dead; and he''s shown nothing but grit, initiative, and fight. Obama? For all his Alinsky heritage, he''s looking more and more like the Man on the Wedding Cake. From the Sarah Palin pick to his constant, undermining ads, McCain has been inside Obama''s head.
Obama should be out there with his own plan for Wall Street. Instead, McCain is the man with the plan. Don''t think that voters won''t notice. They do.
You should better not ask him that kind of technical question.
You made him silly, guy.

- It''s sad, I''ve come to the point where I now believe anything McCain says is only what he''s been coached to say by his handlers. Anything''s ... Everything''s OK if it''ll get him elected. That''s all that counts. I felt the same way when watching & listening to Bush campaign against Al Gore & John Kerry... I had a lot more respect & belief in McCain way back when he was campaigning against Bush for the Repub. nomination. Now he''s become what he fought against. Meanwhile, the very dishonest yet efficient Republican political machine that gave us Bush (twice!)marches on w all the lies, slander & phony sincerity.
