Obama Hammers McCain, Gramm Psychological Diagnoses of Economy: “America Already Has One Dr. Phil”

aint that the truth obama finally a man that makes sense

Once again the McCain camp and the Republican party demonstrate how “out-of-touch” they’re with the average American…what a pity.

Until They Have to live on 25,000 to 50,000 dollars a year and pay child support and raise a family the politicians won’t ever help any of us

Ole John should try and live on an average americans income for a change. Maybe if he didn’t have his 100 million dollar wife paying all the bills he could appriate what the rest of us are going through. Then it would be in his head too, must admit their certainly enough empty room in there.

Thank you Jake for covering this. This is a far more revealing comment and policy position than anything Wes Clark or Jesse Jackson have said. We need a president who has a sound and realistic grasp on economic policy and the current state of our economy. It’s obvious that McCain is not that person.

Quick — what are BHO’s economic policies?

Are we in a recession. For the past 24 months that’s all i been hearing but are we really.

jame – I believe Warren Buffett and Ron Paul have both stated that we are in a recession. Both have different takes on what kind of economic system should exist in America, but I am going to have to go with them on this one. Phil Gramm is partisan fool trying to mask the damage that republicans have done to our counrty.

If you want to know Senator Obama’s economic policies, go to his website and do some reading. It is rather clearly and exhaustively detailed in his policy papers (yes you’ll have to, gasp, read dozens of pages with scary numbers). You’ll never get it from soundbites. It’s pretty standard – allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, as Bush and Congress set them up to do so, and increase taxes a bit on those earning over about $250k per year. Pull out of Iraq sooner rather than later (even the Iraqi’s are asking for a timeline now) and maybe cut tax breaks and subsidies given to oil companies (a good idea with oil at $10 a barrel, but incentive really isn’t needed anymore). Nothing earth shaking and nothing that hasn’t been done before with varying results.

Obama should hammer McCain on this. If the tables were turned, I’m sure McCain and the media would be burying Obama with a story like this.
It’s really bizarre to me for McCain and Gramm to say things like this when so many American families are struggling to pay the bills and keep their homes. Hasn’t McCain listened to the people on the campaign trail and in all those town hall meetings? Or is he just focused on himself and what he has to say?

Thank you Phil Graham. Nice one old man.
4 people got laid off at my company of 50 people, my job flow is 50% of last years numbers, and my house has gone down 28% in three years.
Yeah. Psychological.
If you can’t vote for Obama, don’t vote

Well this election is perfectly clear now. We have a great choice…a self indulged, elitist liar or the pandering, delusional war monger. Pity the populace….

Just 3 months ago, Senator McCain said he didn’t understand the economy.
Now, Senator McCain’s top economic adviser says we’re psycho.
We’re struggling to feed our families.
Maybe if Senator McCain didn’t own 8 different houses, he might understand the world.

Did anyone else notice that all of these quotes are in future tense? All direct quotes of what he ‘will’ say this afternoon? If it hasn’t yet been said, how can it be a direct quote? Strikes me as odd.
That said: for as long as I can remember, politics is a lot like professional wrestling. There is a lot of talk, a lot of showing off, a battle of some sort, and in the end the fans feel like they’ve done something by showing up.
But it’s all fake.

BHO has no economic plan – just kibbles and bits that no self-respecting dog would equate to something substantial. He’s promised ten times as much in benefits to just about everyone than he could possible raise from those kibbles and bits. Get real – buy a pencil and paper and do some 3rd grade math. The numbers (therefore, the policies) don’t amount to an economic plan at all!

T: …zzzzzz….

I love the guy who says the this is an economic cycle…
yes duh…but there are people who ignore it like Herbert Hoover, Bush and McCain’s team…
and then an FDR comes in and gets us out of it.
get a fact in your head instead of empty blathering rhetoric.
McCain spoke like this when he was campaigning in NH
the economy wasn’t that important…
atleast not as important as throwing threats toward Iran…
so I guess it was just under the importance of Afghanistan and Pakistan…which was way down the list.

Quote: “It isn’t whining to ask for more than just psychological relief. ”
What do you have in mind? Nationalize the oil companies and subsidize the cost of gasoline? Have the government pay for everyones homes? National unemployment insurance coverage? Increase taxes on anyone who has income over $50K?
I do not hear of any suggestions from the left or the right!
We (American’s) have become a bunch of whiners! It’s the Republicans fault, its the Democrats fault!
It is my personal responsibilty to take care of myself and my family by any legal means possible. I want government nowhere in my way!
If you are waiting for Washington to help you; you are a sad human being and will be waiting a long time!

Obama is complaining that McCain don’t understand the Economy.
Who does understand the economy be the first one to raise their stinkin hand

dl
BHO does not have a viable economic policy. Why do you see fit to ignore that fact by attacking someone else. I guess you’re really aware of the demagoguing and hypocrisy of your candidate and cannot defend him without disparaging others. That speaks volumes about you and him!

ANOTHER OBAMA FLIP FLOP!!!!!!!!!
Said Obama on 7/10/08, “I think it’s time we had a President who doesn’t deny our problems – or blame the American people for them”
OBAMA from 5/19/08
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
Remember that? Obama blamed the American people so vote McCain

Nat Turner:

t,
Grasshoppa, haven’t you consumed enough crow already with all the fixins?
Everyone on this post knows you’re insignificant.
Go play with your plastic army men and check back in November when Pappy McCan’t is handled like a couple of loads of laundry. CLOCKED AND CLEANED in the GE.
Repeat after me:
OOOOOOO BAAAAAAAA MAAAAAAAA
That’s your new POTUS Daddy.

• Senator McCain’s service and experience, both as a POW and as a Senator apparently hasn’t infused him with a dose of good judgment.
• Senator McCain’s experience hasn’t led him to realize that the war in Iraq and it’s continuance has empowered and emboldened Iran, and destabilized the region.
• Senator McCain’s experience hasn’t caused him to recognize that we’re losing ground in Afghanistan, and Osama bin Laden is still out there, plotting.
• Senator McCain’s experience didn’t lead him to support the 21st Century GI Bill — he opposed it. It didn’t even make him feel the need to get back to Washington to vote on this — one of the most important veterans’ bills this Congress. He twice skipped votes on the GI Bill, to fundraise.
• Senator McCain’s experience didn’t help him empathize with troops are overstretched and overdeployed, when he voted against the bipartisan Webb-Hagel “Dwell Time Amendment,” which would have given troops as much time at home as in the field.
Senator McCain is running on his experience, saying it makes him ready to lead right away. By doing so, he is asking people to look at what that experience taught him.
By looking at Senator McCain’s positions and votes (or lack of them), it seems that experience has not given him the right judgment on important issues of our time.
BLOWOUT.
OBAMA 08

T,
Obama better hope that the Rev. Jackson gets to him BEFORE the socialized medicine plan ruins US health care – and hope that he’s not treated in a government-run VA hospital.
I don’t think the “parts” will keep on ice for a flight to India for reattachment…

We are not technically in a recession–YET.
But high gas prices are going to take a toll on the entire economy, unlike the “housing crisis” which is nothing more than people who never should have gotten mortgages losing homes they never could have paid for.
And to this very day the Democrats are doing everything in their power to BLOCK domestic oil drilling. Why? Because they want economic hardship for all.
There are 250 MILLION passenger vehicles registered in the United States, according to the Department of Transportation. Almost all of them run on petroleum derived fuels. We are going to need oil for many years to come since those cars are not going to be replaced with hydrogen vehicles overnight. And we are going to need oil much cheaper than it is now.
The Democrats are to blame for high oil prices and the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of job losses directly attributable to high oil prices. Auto workers, airlines, taxi drivers, the trucking industry–all are shedding jobs because of the high cost of gas and the Democrats KEEP BLOCKING new domestic supply from coming to market.

The Democrat-controlled Congress, and the liberal media, have done a magnificent job of creating a ‘recession’ and blaming Bush for it.

“America Already Has One Dr. Phil”
Side-splitting. Neither humor nor actual politics seems to be Big Daddy Barack’s strong suit.

Bell Starr “Neither humor nor actual politics seems to be Big Daddy Barack’s strong suit.”
————————————
Obama’s joke about Dr. Phil is a heck of a lot funnier than McLame’s “joke” about killing Iranians with cigarettes. The joke is that McCain really wants to use bombs to kill them. What a funny guy.

Regrets (definition) a polite expression of real or pretended sadness, something previously done or said that now appears wrong, mistaken, or hurtful to other.
Just yesterday, Mr. Obama told the American people he is embarrassed because American’s do not speak more foreign languages and told us to have our children learn Spanish. He said “they want to pass a law”, “We want English-only.” The bill before the Senate was to make English the official language of America of which Mr. Obama voted NO. English is spoken all over this globe —France, England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, India, South America, China, Japan, etc., etc., etc. It is the chosen language of the World and for good reason—our country is successful. Our country communicates and shares information together in the same language, which has probably helped us succeed ahead of other nations with their many languages and many dialects. In America right now, 85% of America’s 17 million high school students are graduating with two or more years of foreign language.
Will Obama REGRET that he voted against English being the official language of America and that we embarrass him because we do not speak more foreign languages be in line to be the latest regrets?
REGRETTED – Just a few days ago Obama regretted allowing his young daughters to participate in a family TV interview with “Access Hollywood.”
REGRETTED – Obama has regretted saying that the lives of American soldiers who died fighting in Iraq had been “wasted”.
REGRETTED – Obama has regretted his choice of words that “bitter” folks in Middle America who have lost economic hope “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”
REGRETTED – Obama has regretted buying property and having help of the purchase of the lot next door by his longtime supporter and big-time fund-raiser Tony Rezko, who helped him win his Senate Seat.
I know I’ve missed a lot of regrets, and you can probably fill them in (or just watch the News because tomorrow will provide another one). When it comes to the Oval Office and the world what will be his regrets?

BLAST EM’ both Barack, BLAST EM’!!!!! LOL!!!!!!! This is great!!!! We’ll just let the McCain campaign do our work for us. They keep proving our point about Repubs and Conservs are most out of touch people on the face of the earth. As long as their yachts and mansions are paid for screw the rest of America. Yeah you’ll be in the White House McCain, yeah no doubt. And Dr. Phil will be counseling you. This is after all your economic tutor. I want to see how much spin Newt, Hannity, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, the entire FIXED (FOX) News organization, etc. put on this. LOL!!!!!!!!!
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!

Nat Turner
Thank you for pointing out several things that I didn’t know about John McCain. I didn’t realize how flawed he is. There is no way that I would ever vote for McCain. He does not tell the truth about anything and the media is just covering for him! Where do I sign up for Sen. Obama’s campaign. I would be honored and proud to have him serve as the leader of my country. Mr. Turner, you are a great American!

McCain is an American hero.
Obama is an empty suit.
What Obama can change is his his positions on almost everything.
One debate on Obama’s accomplishments will show how little he knows.
He’s just a politiican, a con from Chicago.
Wake up Democrats.

McCain has officially thrown phil gramm his chief economic advisor and architect of McCain’s economic policies under the bus. Way to reward your loyal buddy of 25 years McCain.

Are we in a recession, NO, the press with the push from their bosses in the DNC are pushing it though. Which is causing companies to panic, and prices to rise!!
It is a game from the libs!!
we have had no 2 quarter of negative growth in a row, which is the sign of a recession.
the libs care more about power then the people!! they doubled the gas prices since they took over congress, the raise food prices all of which affect the poor and middle class!!
Wake up America, the libs are worst then the terrorists!!
