McCain Campaign: Barack Obama is Exploiting the Economy Crash
The McCain campaign seems a little miffed that the election rhetoric is switching over from hockey moms and lipstick and onto the economy.
You can't blame them, really. Not when they've got a candidate going around telling people the economy is peachy keen and an opponent who cynically and politically tells people that they've got a candidate going around telling people the economy is peachy keen…
Top aides to Republican John McCain are claiming Democrat Barack Obama and his advisers are exploiting Wall Street's financial problems for political gain.
Aide Steve Schmidt, who worked for the Bush-Cheney team in 2004, told reporters Thursday aboard McCain's plane that Obama is "cheerleading this crisis."
Really, I think it's just disgusting how Barack Obama would exploit a national disaster to further his own party's fortunes. In fact, just take a look at what an insipid display of political exploitation this is on Obama's part…
Whoops. Sorry. That was totally the wrong video. It wasn't footage of Barack Obama cheerleading our economic downfall at all. It must have been something from the Republican National Convention two weeks ago.
I have no idea how that happened. I'm so embarrassed.

Are you an idiot?
If you have been paying attention in the 1st place, Obama has done nothing but talk about the issues…McCain.. well he just loves dirty, non-truthful ads…seriously pull your head out your ass.
Quit saying McCain is right, McCain has turned that statement into an oxymoron.
oh wait that was sarcasm…I'm an idiot.
WOW….I had briefly heard and wasnt surprised that the GOP had shown a 9-11 video…some said as a remembrance and some as an exploitation. Actually watching the video now…I can't believe how blatantly ugly that was and completely disrespectful to the victims.
It's very unfair of Obama to say "I've been telling you this was coming for 2 years". Nobody likes a know-it-all.
You should be like McCain: 26 years in the Senate & learning the names of the Regulatory Agencies only THIS WEEK. Darn FEC !
dude – what the hell does Iran have to do with Al Qaeda? One's Shiite, the other is a radical Sunni group that consider Shia heretics… this isn't one enemy, this is several! What is wrong with you people?!? If you don't know anything about the various forms of radical Islam, how can you hope to fight them?
*facepalm*
How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
1. One to deny that the light bulb needs to be changed
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed.
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.
4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for darkness.
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid/cost-plus contract to Halliburton, Exxonmibile for the new light bulb.
6. One to arrange a photograph of John McCain, dressed as a janitor, standing on a stepladder under the
banner: "Light Bulb Change Accomplished."
7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark.
8. One to viciously smear #7.
9. One surrogate from Faux News to campaign on TV and at rallies on how McCain has had a strong light bulb changing policy all along.
10. Finally, John McCain to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing the light bulb and screwing the country.
After this bailout, Obama is looking like a right wing extremist.
iowagradstudent – They aren't fighting about radical Muslims. They have been more interested in settling scores with people they don't like. It was a lot easier to depose Saddam Hussain than ferret out Osama Bin Laden and his people. The idea is to smear all Muslims with the brush of radicalism, no matter how simplistic that is. There are radical Christians in this country who have a lot in common with those Islamic extremists, but we ignore that. They had to show the Iranian takeover of the US Embassy in 1979 to tie Iran into terrorism and because it happened during a Democratic presidential administration.
obamagramma, I think #3 should be "One to blame Clinton for screwing in the light bulb in the Oval Office"
Still, your point is valid.
iowagradstudent and JimA,
Isn't it just frustrating as hell to try to argue against the b.s.? The logic is so twisted and the facts so garbled and jumbled, you just don't know where to smack 'em first. Of course, if you get sucked into their argument, you lose, because it's so contradictory and convoluted that they can prove anything from it, so long as you accept any of it.
Wouldn't it be grand to have an administration that understands complex world issues BEFORE it tries to solve the problems? Or even, before it goes off to fight an unnecessary war halfway around the world?
