John McCain - American dumbass (sorry, couldn't resist)

So, John McCain says that "the fundamentals of the economy are strong," despite Lehman Brothers filing for bankruptcy, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the crappers, Wall Street plummeting among many things. Then when Obama calls him out on it, McCain comes back with a "clarification" of what he meant by "fundamentals."

"My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals, the American worker and their innovation, their entrepreneurship, the small business, those are the fundamentals of America and I think they're strong," McCain said.

Oh, okay, so now if anyone says the economy is terrible, then they're saying the American worker is terrible. Nice.

I thought about making a thread called John McCain - American Tragedy, but this is better. His attempt at a recovery is laughable. But I bet this will be used again when Obama slaps him around on the faltering economy.

"I think we have to look at the root cause of this problem as it began and that was the housing market and the housing market as you know, has still not continued its descent in home values," McCain said. "And so I think that the real turnaround will be when that shakes out and we begin to allow people to stay in their homes, be able to have a future that they know that the value of their home will gradually increase and they'll be able to realize the kind of future in their lives that the deserve and need."

Even for a politician - that's a whole heap of double-dipping, nonsensical, what the fuck are you smoking, type bullshit.

Tell me again how many homes he owns.

Here is Senator Obama being his badass self today in Pueblo, CO responding to McCain's backtracking on fundamentals. It looks like the video is from Countdown on MSNBC.

I know and people say I'm[italics](bastards, (not you, Rebulican people)) I'm scary[end italics](just the "I'm scary"part).*


*dubman: I have copied this shit and will cont. to paste it if you move it.

[dubman]

lol if you think that'll stop my gross abuses of power you are horribly mistaken.
i'll allow it though, just because.

anyway
i'm doing mental comparisons between how kerry would have handled this "economic fundamentals" exchange and i feel pretty relieved. kerry would have gone into why it was preposterous politically, as nobody would be seriously talking against "the american worker" so mccain would basically be admitting to a non statement... but obama stayed on message and kicked him in the ass twice for it.

goddamn cant the debates happen now please. tired of people letting mccain turn all kinds of shit into gold.

this is what the current mccain campaign reminds me of


and also Jon Lovitz's Pathological Liar character (can't find a vid of it online)

And today it's revealed - the potential president invented the Blackberry!!

FTW!

It's either the invention of the Blackberry - or all of telecommunications in general. The quote is vague enough to deny both.

Al Gore invented the internet.
