It's true but I think they should've gone further and shown McCain saying we're in a crisis like 2 hours later. Throw in a little flip-flop inconsistency in there.
NOW Obama NEEDS to hit on with a "What I will do to fix the economy" ad, he outlined many of what he will do today in Colorado. Get the solutions out there team Obama and the folks will come home for you!
Great ad. Allow me to arm-chair quarterback this and tell you guys what to do next: go to Wall Street and do a speech. Explain what's happened, the reasons why (namely reckless, ultra-loose fiscal policy, no real energy policy, and ideologically-driven deregulation), identify the legislation McCain has voted for that precipitated the crisis, and say what you do to fix it.
WOW! Its about time. Makes me so happy I want to cry. As someone who struggled to find a job after losing work, And losing my house and everything i have worked hard for just a year ago, I support Barak Obama!! Lets take America back! Vote for change November 4, 2008!!!
The next ad should question McCain's age. But don't make it obvious. Leave it out there for the media to question. Plus, you can try to bait the McCain campaign to question Obama's race. If McCain and Palin do so, you make them look like racist.
I posted on Salon Open last night asking for this very ad, and this morning, it's here, beat for beat. (Meaning it was pretty obvious, right? I'm sure they didn't see my post, but it was screaming out to be made.) Thanks so much for doing it.
Its not just that McCain does not understand the economy. These problems exist because of lack of regulation or even lack of enforcement of existing regulations. McCain, like any conserative would only continue to decrease regulation (although now they may "say" they are for increased regulation). Only Obama will bring back the reasonable regulation we need to stablize the economy.
yesterday Sarah Palin said in her short speech that the wall street meltdown means gov't needs to overhaul our regulatory system. (I don't think she was calling for more regulation) Very Hooveresque
Another Great ad! Don't let McCain fool ya'll with the back peddling excuse, he was talking about "hard workers", because John McCain has been saying the Fundementals of our economy are strong for months already! How much more evidence do we need about John McCain and the GOP?
Fabulous Ad. It is particularly chilling to note that the line "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" is a quote from Herbert Hoover of all people, right as our country was sinking into the Great Depression.
Hit the McCain joker hard. Why not add a little Hoover in there? After all, he invented the phrase the "fundamentals of the economy are strong." Go Obama! Give them hell.
Well you know... by fundamentals McCain meant workers... WHAT? Workers can't be and aren't fundamentals... they can be fundamentalists... but not fundamentals. HOW for the love of Pete can McCain still be doing so well? Oh I forgot, this turned into a pageant for Prom King & Queen... My bad. Please carry on with our stupidity dig us further into a hole. Please Sen. Obama make them stop!! ENOUGH!!!

Yeah....and notice how McCain is READING?? He's as bad as Bu$h if not worse.
He can't speak from his heart, because HE DOESN"T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.
Watch EVERY clip of McCain speaking. HIS EYES ARE ALWAYS READING.
SURE he's a nice man. MY MOM is a nice lady but I don't want her running the COUNTRY and I don't want her NEAR THE RED BUTTONS.
For crissakes wake up people! The Republicans have driven the country into a ditch! Get the Obama tow truck and pull it out! LET'S GO!!
