QUESTION: "Senator McCain, you have said repeatedly, quote, I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated. Is it a problem for your campaign that the economy is now the most important issue, one that by your own acknowledgement is something you're not well versed on?"




MCCAIN: "Actually, I don't know where you got that quote from. I'm very well versed in economics.




QUESTION: "Well, I'll—"




MCCAIN: "Now I know where you got that quote from. Now I know where you got that quote."




QUESTION: "I will show you where I got that quote from. I got it from John McCain, And here it is. "[McCain] is refreshingly blunt when he tell[s] me: 'I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.'"
