McCain: Fundamentals of Economy Are Strong


Followed by many many flip-flops and stunts after that. Starting with being against the AIG bailout before he was for it the next day, to the impetuous call to fire SEC chair Chris Cox, to suspending his campaign (or at least claiming to do so). McCain's move to suspend his campaign probably looked to many independent observers like a desperation move even before David Letterman pulled back the curtain to show how fraudulent the whole effort was.

Here's a compilation of McCain's erratic and at times contradictory statements throughout the crisis.



If both McCain and Obama were saying that along with all our political leaders there may not have been as much panic selling in the stock market these past few days. Obama played on people's fears....typical. The fundamentals of the economy are strong. you're an ignorant person when it comes to economics.....did you go to college?
