Look around- there is outrage from the media and liberals, McCain believed Bush's policies were strong and the economy was strong, guess that's easy when you don't know how many houses you own. Obama is trying to clean up the mess Bush left us with, so yes we have to focus on "the fundamentals" to get them strong again!
You know... the out of context misinterpretation of the American people on McCain's statement just shows how dumb America has become. McCain is NOT saying our economy is strong. He is saying the FUNDAMENTALS of our economy are strong.
It is like saying.... as an EXAMPLE when you build a house. Your fundamental materials needed to build the house are strong. The nails are strong, the wood materials are strong, the paint is good and will last, the pipes are strong, etc. CONTINUED...
alter-great post, its sad that morons jumped all over this. Its like saying "hey this knife is dull, grab me that spoon"
speaking of knives, i think if america "trimmed the fat" and pulled away from liberal society, it would take us about 20 years to become as successful as we currently are
Well ok... it's the Old mans favorite phrase. I have a few myself. And he made a completely wrong guess. Which he probably had to make, given his stance on economical theory and given the line of his party. But I would not see THAT as one of the main reasons why should you vote Obama.
McCain knows nothing about the economy. He's all theatrics and hyperventilating. His behavior in the last week or so show exactly how he would handle the economy. Or any issue. He would suspend what he's doing and go create even more disaster.
Yes, for more information on McCain's economic policies please go to some biased liberal website.
Johnny repeats the line because he doesn't know shit about the economy. Shocking that a politician is in a perpetual loop of blanket statements. Wonder Boy Barry isn't guilty of such platitudes though, right?
It's just a mantra, an empty phrase devoid of substance because he never actually elaborates what he means by that, what "the fundamentals" are, and in what way they are strong. It's the Republican strategy - repeat a mantra over and over again and then an aura of reality will start to surround it and it will start to appear like the truth. Good trick, huh?
Please people, let's use our heads this time. We are seriously up a creek and in desperate need of leadership. Please vote for Obama/Biden. Seriously. And if McCain's not scary enough, take a few moments to imagine President Palin at the helm. That is something that is within the realm of reason, and truly scares the hell out of me!Obama/Biden 08
The man is pernicious. He looks like a pile of last week's Cottage Cheese stuffed into a suit with a tape recorder to repeat his idiotic blather. He obviously doesn't know what he is talking about and, bluntly, doesn't care.
Two weeks ago he repeated that stupid "fundamentals are strong" mantra. Two days later, he said he fire SEC chief Christopher Cox once the meltdown was obvious even to him. McCain is a fraud. He hasn't a clue how the global economy works and he sticks to talk-radio bromides when questioned. If you're a Republican, you need to vote for someone smarter than Sean Hannity, not someone as ignorant.
He's so scripted it's painful to watch. He can't say his lines right and has no idea what he's saying.
Unleash the capitalist forces. That's his answer. He likes to unleash forces be they military or economic. He also likes beauty queens. His understanding of the world is as superficial as his impulses.
I guess this is why McCain said he did not know much about the ecomony. "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" if you are in McCain's "$5 million middle class" or you have no idea and have to consult your staff to know how many houses you (and your wife) own.
Clueless and out of touch, maybe he should do some research on the computer, oh I forgot, he said he can't use a computer either.
"McCain is just out of touch with his many homes, greedy wealth and typical republican callousness. He's done."
It has to be be tough keeping up with the common man when you are flying between your homes (all eight) in your private plane. Poor John, he must be suffering these days. I own two homes and travel between them in my truck, I guess this makes me an eleitist like you.

He's talking about the fundamentals of our economy. Think about it. What are the fundamentals? I think it is either the people, or capitalism that he is talking about. What else could it be?
Does he even have any idea whatsoever what the 'fundamentals' are? Don't think so.

CONTINUED ... But the house will only be strong if you put all those fundamental materials together correctly.
If you do a shoddy job of building the house that is not to code, then the house falls apart.
