The TRUTH: John McCain’s an economic idiot

By Stock Nerd on October 19th, 2008

As you may or may not have noticed, John McCain’s campaign has taken a down turn along with the spiraling economic situation in the past month. Do we really want an indecisive president who changes his positions in the economy on a near daily basis it seems? Is he schizophrenic? Let’s take a look at his various statements in the past MONTH alone (If you trail back to January 2008, you can find even more conflicting statements):
1. September 15th - “You know,” said McCain, “there’s been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall Street and it is — people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But these are very, very difficult time. And I promise you, we will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street. We will reform government.” Check out the full article here.

$John McCain Doesn\'t Know!$

2. September 24th - John McCain wants to suspend his campaign! Why? because of the “historic crisis in our financial system,” said McCain. Wait, I thought he said that the economy was fundamentally sound only 9 days ago? It seemed like McCain was trying to make up for his “fundamentally sound” statement obviously. That clearly backfired on him also! It DID in fact seem more like a stunt to most people than anything. A pathetic attempt to try and convey his “understanding” of the economy when he clearly does NOT. You read more about it here.

3. October 14th - YET ANOTHER Proposal! AND more and MORE! I can’t seem to dig up all the articles, damn those news search engines which can’t find me one news article for everyday regarding one topic (I get 100s of results instead). If you’ve been following the campaign though, you will know that he keeps making changes the past few days to his economic plans, especially with his mortgage plan to save the middle class. /Start Sarcasm After all, he is the “middle class savior”! He can clearly relate with us, since most middle class Americans have NINE HOMES and loads and loads of money. /End Sarcasm I’d like to add that Obama may be rich now, but he was one of us up till a few years ago. He’s had actual experience in the recent middle class world.
