Biden Rips McCain for Saying Fundamentals of Economy are “Strong’

I want to see Obama supporter Barney Smith in a commercial.
They say that Wall Street is not an issue on Main Street. Take a look at my 401K balances and tell me again that we don’t care.

Way to go, Joe. You’ve just joined the Nation of Whiners. One of the things I liked about Obama way back when was how inspirational he seemed. This is a bummer listening to this.

I get a doom and gloom feeling from the Dems.

“The New York Post has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch’s ownership for what many consider its lurid headlines, sensationalism, blatant advocacy and conservative bias. In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review asserted that “the New York Post is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem – a force for evil.”
(Wikipedia entry for the New York Post)

darn right its doom and gloom mccain is a dangerous choice for president, he must be stopped!

Joe Biden is an idiot. He totally took McCain’s words out of context. He was refering to the hardworking spirit of America’s work force.
anyway who in their right mind would listen to a man who said that he wasn’t qualified to be vice president?

If McCain thinks so much of the hardworking spirit of the American worker then why doesn’t he give them the bulk of his tax breaks instead of giving them to rich people and corporations?

The value of currency without precious metal to back it up like in the olden days is largely a matter of perception.
That is about the only thing the Republicans have gotten right so far.
The Democratic Party.
“Cleaning up Republican rug stains for decades.”

The Housing crisis is the fault of the Democrats.
They ran Fannie Mae and Feddie Mac.
They created the rules for approved mortgages which were bogus.
McCain and Palin will fix this mess.

It’s a bad day when people are unable to figure out that all of our polititions are unable to fix this mess. . . maybe it’s time to roll our the Guillotines

A few comments on the man who helped provide the words Sarah Palin put in her speeches:
Westbrook Pegler -
Pegler decreed America was “done for” after Truman won a full term in 1948. For his part, Truman regarded the columnist as a “guttersnipe,” and with good reason. Pegler was a rabid Joe McCarthyite who loathed F.D.R. and Ike and tirelessly advanced the theory that American Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (“geese,” he called them) were all likely Communists.

republicans are lame, pathelic and sad the world is lame pathelic and sad.

Kitty:
You get a gloom and doom feeling from the Democrats? Three out of the fab five financial institutions that were the cornerstone of Wall Street no longer exist (hint: they were all old enough and strong enough to withstand the great depression). We can’t just stamp a bunch of ‘Hello Kitty’ stickers on it to make it seem okay! Don’t blame the Dem’s if you can’t handle the truth.

Mr, Coffee thanks for that Reference.
It was no coincidence that in her allusions to ‘small town America growing good people’, Palin was steered into making a direct reference to Truman who was an ideological enemy of Pegler.
They even give us the hints as to what they are up to, for those inclined to read between the lines.

gabrielle
he actually took mccains words as he said them this morning, it was later that mccain came back and attributed his fundamentals of the economy are strong statement to mean that he was talking about hard working people.
if thats his new statement then i ask you does mccain know what the fundementals of the economy are? because they are not hard working americans…
hard working americans may be the corner stone of our economy but fundamentally that is not true….
he screwed up, he is out of touch, and his cover up answer is even more out of touch displaying his campaigns manic episodes

Here, Here to Tammy re: comment Sep 15, 2008 6:22:50 PM.
Tammy you are trying to reach a group that is virtually unreachable. These are the very same ones that voted for the goofball that (with help from syncophants) drove the country off a cliff.
These are the children of Hamelin that continue following the pied piper to an ever worsening fate.
These voters are mindless scum and are ultimately responsible for the current state of affairs affecting our country.

Obama has never gone out of his way to relate to women. Only seven of his top twenty Senate staff positions are filled by women (McCain has thirteen of twenty) and women on Obama’s staff earn 83 cents for each dollar his male staffers are paid. (McCain pays his female staffers $1.04 for each dollar he pays to his men).

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Most people have not lost their jobs, and the ones who did will adjust. It’s what humans do. Tell us what you are going to do, Joe. Don’t whine.

THE FORCES OF DARKNESS in America are hidden in the light of day in mainstream American life. They smile in your face, appear to be as All American as a Norman Rockwell painting. They seem to care about the lives of average, every day people, so much so that they even arrange rally’s with endorsements from latino rap stars, stand alongside people of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds (NASCAR) for photo ops. These people always have a black friend, a latin friend, an Asian and a Midwestern housewife and a blue collar worker. They concoct their photo ops to hit certain demographics because they fundamentally disrespect every single one of them and think you can be had if you see them standing next to someone like you.
For all of their efforts to appear just like you and me, outside the spotlight of TV, Radio and Media as the “True Elitists” they legislate against the American taxpayer, create loopholes for the oil industry and insure that their NEOCON friends and war profiteers will continue to have more war while they bankrupt the nation’s treasury and leave small towns in rural America to die. This is true even if they come back every 4 years and prey on them for votes. They scare you and then tell you that they want to protect you. They say that they love America and then they dictate to you their version of patriotism and question yours because you do not wear a flag pin. They do not love you, they do not care about you and they do not want you to have a seat at the table, to see the back room maneuvers and yet, if you should educate yourself, succeed and rise up and gain access and are able to see inside the rigged game that they have set up, spoiled frat boys with trust funds, label you, the one who climbed up from the lower middle classes….they label you as the “Elitist”…as a Muslim..as one with radical friends.
The real danger of the Neocon Forces of Darkness & Intolerence in America is when they reach down, among the people, to find and pluck out a “true believer” in their agenda. The deception works marvelously when they find someone who is attractive, likeable and seems to have a lifestyle just like you and me, rather ordinary. They present her back to the people and ask for your support. It is the oldest elite trick in the book. Who were the most loyal foot soldiers in the 3rd Reich? Elitists who manipulated loyal foot soldiers and pulled them up to high ranking positions. You give them a life and access to power that they can only dream of and of course they will do whatever their mentors/puppetteers advise them to. Sarah Palin is their current decoy and a deception to take away your attention from John McCain’s rapidly decaying mental and physical health and those who have commandeered the GOP and McCain’s Maverick Brand. The Neocon Trojan Horse, John McCain needs one more layer of deception to get this con by the American people.

kitty
LOL
you are a moron your last comment proves it… lol

I agree. McCain is loosing ground big time. Palin truth is coming out. I agree as a republican, I will hold my nose and vote for the best candidate. McCain is not a wise man.
(CNN) – The bounce John McCain received in national opinion polls following his party’s convention and the selection of Sarah Palin to the GOP presidential ticket appears to have evaporated, a new CNN poll of polls suggests.
In the latest CNN survey of several recent national polls, Obama and McCain are locked in a dead heat at 45 percent each with 10 percent who remain undecided with 50 days remaining until Election Day.
“When we average the latest national polls, it is increasingly clear that neither candidate has any serious momentum at the moment,” said CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. “The convention bounces have faded and left us with a dead heat. Even though we are now in the final stretch of this historic marathon campaign for the presidency, the White House is still genuinely up for grabs.”
CNN’s latest poll of polls consists of three recent surveys: Newsweek (September 10-11), Gallup (September 12-14), and Diageo/Hotline (September 12-14). It does not have a sampling error.

If this is Leonard F. Peltier commenting… people you are reading comments posted by a highly esteemed individual and one of the TRUE owners of this country. LISTEN to him

I 100% agree. As a republican is sad but I belive with all my heart that Biden is far better choice than Palin. Palin interview with Charles Gibson proved that she has “ZERO” foreign Policy experience. Palin is a joke. The more days go by the more we hear the truth about her. Shes controversial and LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES and more lies. I dont know about you but the last time I checked with my pastor, lying is a SIN and lyers go to hell.

TruthTrumpsHonor,
I changed my name initially to back Sarah because of her allegiance to the Alaska Independent Party and their fight for independence from the ‘Outside’
She and I are Freedom Fighters, but alas,the anarchistic ideology of your party proved to be beyond my conceptual reach.
Maybe I’ll reinvent myself as Phil Gramm now.

TruthTrumpsHonor,
Apologies, I misread your post. The nuance was beyond me, but the fog is clearing.

Leonard Peltier,
You go man! Clobber these clowns with the truth however you will!

McCain is just a dottering old fool still stuck in the Vietnam era, playing Abba’s ancient hit “SOS” again and again on his eight track tape deck. He seems older than his 72 years.
Meanwhile, Biden is energetic and lives in the now and seems younger than his years.

Not surprised this is being swept under the carpet by the media–

WOW!!! AMERICA IS WAKING UP!!!!
NO MCCAIN-

OMG!! Why would he want to delay bringing the troops home?!!

It’s funny how CNN only mentions polls when they believe that they’re favorable to Barry.
Last week it was “national polls don’t matter, look at the electoral map.” This week it’s don’t look at the electoral map, look at our poll of polls. No matter which way you slice it, Barry is sinking.

“I get a doom and gloom feeling from the Dems.”
You should have a doom and gloom feeling. Some of the largest financial institutions in this country have collapsed, or are on the verge of collapse. That is a scary thought indeed.
And before I get the “Americans are optimists blah blah blah”, 80% of people think this nation is headed in the wrong direction.

Reggie: Are you another dumb one like Obama and Biden? The economy is not because of the president it is because of the stupid people that didn’t know how to handle their money. Many of them bought condo’s and house’s without a down payment of only 10% down and the mortgager’s also caused the problem. That’s why they are hurting. They made the loans and now they can’t get their money back because the buyer’s cannot pay the loan. That’s part of the problem. They buy automobile’s that they can’t afford or lease them then they can’t make the payment’s. People are the cause of their own disaster’s. Wake up.

Go Joe-give those liars Hell!

“We must change course otherwise America is bound to become a third world country in just one short generation.”
Elect Barry because him and Joe aren’t part of the problem….oh wait.

“And 90% supported the war in Iraq.”
Uhm, no. You made that up.
“NY Post Article”
Obama campaign is asking for a retraction.

“stupid people that didn’t know how to handle their money.”
Do you mean like Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, WaMu and Lehmans?
In this case, you are right – it isn’t Bush’s fault. It’s Phil Gramm’s (ex-McCain economic advisor, famous whiner-hater), as he wrote the law deregulating the banking sector that has contributed to this implosion.

“”NY Post Article”
Obama campaign is asking for a retraction.’
Of course they are. Silence the critics.

I obviously have no idea what I just wrote above because I’m clueless. More whites? In the lead? I meant to say there’s a tie.

Actually: The only crisis in this country is the stock market and the loan companies that gave loans to people that couldn’t afford to buy condo’s or homes because they didn’t have enough money to put down. That’s why there are so many foreclosures. Don’t blame the president. Investor’s made big mistakes in investing money. McCain is right. I am not hurting and there are a lot of people in this country that are in good shape. People are the cause of their own destruction by living beyond their means. You don’t buy what you cannot afford. I am sure everyone on this comment board has enough money to purchase buy groceries, pay rent and utilities. When I go shopping for food the stores are crowded with people and their baskets are loaded with food. And the expensive cars they drive. So don’t tell me the economy is bad. Its the people making their own mistakes.

The Palin/Convention bump is not wearing off in fact its getting better and she is drawing more crowds than ever. Its the Dems that are hurting and don’t know which way to turn. Minnesota was leaning towards Obama but it is now a tossup state. And McCain is surging in NY. I hope he surges in NJ, PA and OH. ObamaOsama is failing and that’s the good news for this country. And there is nothing wrong with the economy in this country, its the people living beyond their means, buying what they can’t afford that’s why they are losing their homes and condo’s. I said it before people are their worst enemy and they destroy themselves by wrong decisions. You don’t buy what you cannot afford. Wall St. went down under because of wrong decisions in investments. That is no fault of the president. That’s the fault of the investor’s not making the right decisions.

McBush is banging on the stupidity of the voters to get elected. He has the Alaska earmak addict running around on an anti- earmarks fabricated record. Now, he is telling us that the economy is strong. He knows that he is lying. He just hopes that he gets away with this one.

Expect McSame to soon call for the election of a Dem who voted against the Irak war. You might be thinking that he is calling for a vote for Obama. Wrong…McBush is a Dem who voted against the war, Obama is the GOPer who voted for the war…I am McBush and I approve this message.

I don’t know who used my name and didn’t want to use their own name but I stick to what I said. Yes, the whites are the majority and that’s who will make McCain win regardless of what you think. Why what race are you? Obama will get the majority of the Latino vote and black vote. You know this as well as I do. So don’t play coy.

everyone knows that all the world’s problems were cause by the democrats. In fact, if Clinton had not had sex, the world trade centers would still be here. yea.
and coal is clean
polar bears and penguins are useless.
thank god we will have a god fearing vice prez, who is cuter than Monica.
god is hugging us closer!

Ok so let me get this straight. Today:
-McCain said economy “fundamentally” fine.
-McCain runs ad saying “Crisis”
-McCain retracts piggygate.
-McCain FINALLY decides to talk about issues.
Ok…. got it. F’ing ridiculous.

If Biden thinks that McCain is wrong I bet he’s living good in a big house like Obama is and all the other senator’s. So where is the crisis? Its in the stock market and wrong investments. Wrong decision making causes destruction. It has nothing to do with the economy. If people invested in the stock market that’s their problem not the problems of the president. In my surrounding area there condo’s being built all around and developer’s are buying up the multi-units for conversion. And they are being bought up. So if the economy is that bad people would not be able to buy. Investor’s are suffering because they made wrong decisions in the investing. Everyone blames the president. Don’t buy what you can’t afford and you won’t suffer.

Re: Econ Prof
Yes those things are true… and will it bounce back? Yes, it always does and I think most people know/understand that. But do people care NOW? Can you rationalize that to someone who’s lost their home/job/etc? No. I have many friends who, as “Mariann” above would like you to believe, were NOT living above their means by any stretch. Obviously it’s a mess, it’s more complicated and involved than the average person can grasp AND going to take a lot of work, but I think McCain isn’t on point. You just can’t sit on the fence and say it’s fine and a crisis at the same time with something HE (RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT <– key words) should be. Sorry.

To: Mariann Pepitone
Wake up you stupid woman!!!

f this story is true, it is the most important revelation of the election.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has apparently revealed that the centerpiece of Barack Obama’s conversation with Iraqi leaders in July was his hope of delaying the draw-down of American military forces in Iraq. Zebari’s recounts that Obama “asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington.” Obama also reportedly insisted that Congress steer negotiations on the time-table of troops withdrawal, rather than the Bush administration, which he described as being in a “state of weakness and political confusion.”
Obama’s campaign has denied these accounts of his visit to Iraq. Such a private request for delayed troop reductions would run counter to Obama’s public statements on Iraq, in which he calls for an immediate withdrawal. Further, an attempt to subvert the executive branch would be contrary to established U.S. foreign policy.
If Zebari’s statements are discovered to be true, Obama would be guilty of the most unadulterated political profiteering and moral corruption in modern history. To seek electoral gain on the deception of a nation at war and the blood of American soldiers is nothing less than treasonous villainy – for which the offender ought to be tarred and feathered before being expelled from the country.

Maybe people that want to condemn should listen to the speech instead of repeating the liberal press. I did listen this morning and Senator McCain said the ‘fundamentals of the economy are strong’. He stated first off there was a crises, but when he said the ‘fundamentals are strong’ he said by fundamentals he meant the American worker’s willingness to work, their ingenuity, and ability to overcome adversity. It would be a much better world if we’d all get the words from the horses mouth and tune out the bias of the news media.

the sky is falling, its all mccain’s fault.obama just wants everyone to like him.this is the the big show now, all that bush44,lobbyist stuff just is not working. dems take the weekend off and regroup.oh, that was last weekend.obama should get lots of street $$ together,he is going to need more now then ever.oh yea, obama is not going to help the people that get him in the white house either.come on.

did the dems ever question bill clinton,that goes both ways.talk about jobs in the u s a.does nafta ring any bells.

You’re an idiot. I’m not blaming the president for everything. However the economy is the top issue for most this election and McCain is clueless about it. But then it’s hard to know when you’re living in a “how many houses do I have” bubble. What an…. “elitist” jacka**.

Has anyone heard that money was made “under the table” from Freddy and Fanny…. and Obama was the number 2 beneficiary?
This was on Chicago radio earlier this evening…..

“Wait a minute, team Obama has two (2) Fannie Mae executives as their economic advisors . . . Duh!”

AND….
Chicago was the recipient of a large proportion of their failed mortgages
AND….
Barack Obama was the second largest beneficiary of Fanny Mae’s largesse!
AND Obama and the Dumbocrats were in favor of getting rid of the necessary oversights and checks and balances .
During the wonderful Clinton days, the
desire for and possibilities of home ownership were fluffed and puffed, and everyone got hooked on “making it easier” to buy!
No more 20% down! You want a mini-mansion but can only afford a one-car garage….. not to worry!
Mortgage brokers were as greedy as their clients, and so were the lenders and where were Freddy and Fanny’s advisors?
Under the table Making Millions that’s where!
But they shared with some of the legislators…. like Obama, for one!

Yeah, Look how well things are going under bush

I pity American, i pity the next 4yrs, i wonderd what it will look like if MCCAIN PALIN finally came to power, American will beg for bread soon. i am not American but i love GREAT USA !! Please american put party diffrences and race apart and chose a wise and acceptable leader Think of ur future dont think of more wars. good luck as you chose ur leader but remainber both friends and enemy are watching you some will want you to do one more mistake so that Great American will become history.

Let’s recap: McCain is running for PRESIDENT not a “regular job” and knowing about the economy IS ummm IMPORTANT? Respect has nothing to do with it. And I’m sick of the POW story. We know we get it. The end.

I keep hearing on these posts doom and gloom accusation for the democrats? The only one that has made me think of that is Palin with her statement of “going to war with Russia.” Oh, and they can’t keep doing damage control when McCain speaks. He said the fundamentals of our economy is strong and then he has a statement that uses words that never came out of his mouth.
