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

It's not particularly surprising that McCain would have Gramm as a senior economic advisor. When you spend $300,000 for "household help" in one calendar year, I imagine you wouldn't feel much of a pinch from economic times such as these. The truth is that McCain's economic plans, such as they are, are probably even worse than George Bush's in some respects. He plans to continue the failed tax policies of the last 7+ years and extend them further. Our national debt will balloon further and we will continue to borrow money from other countries to pay off the interest on what we owe. Sounds like very sound economic policy to me. Obama's economic policy is far more detailed than McCain's. McCain seems to be weaving someting together as he goes, and so far it doesn't sound very good.

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...

Nat Turner: Nice. *fist bump*

• 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.

Brilliant post. Absolutely brilliant!

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.

Obama's going to need a doctor after Rev. Jackson gets through with him!

Nat Turner:

Obama will go down in history as revolutionizing politics in America.

It'll take the Repubs 10 years to figure out what happened to them once the Libertarian party becomes the new Repub party.

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

The GOP's number crunchers candidly have McCain's chances of beating Obama at 30%. They understand the end game when it comes to winning POTUS.

Instead, their focus is on the House races.

Unfortunately, they'll be in for a rude awakening on that front as well.

It's going to suck being called a Republican for at least 12 years or until they do a complete makeoever.

You can only put so much lipstick on a Neanderthal.

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!

It seems odd to me that saying that we are whiners sets off a round of whining. Are things so bad that we have to denounce anyone saying things aren't that bad? How many election cycles have we gone through now where a candidate tells us we are on the brink of self-destruction?

ps. Is it demeaning to invoke Dr. Phil to a group of women? What, he thinks we all sit home and watch Dr. Phil or something?

Obama is complaining that McCain don't understand the Economy.

Who does understand the economy be the first one to raise their stinkin hand

Even England's most notable print authority - the Economist - has noted and reported on BHO's ever-shifting positions. Why can't his followers see it as intelligent people world-wide see it? Is white guilt really so overwhelming that people loose control of their senses? It must be white guilt because nothing in Obama's many and varied statements would convince a rational person that his policies haven't changed significantly.

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!

and T

you are making this "BHO doesn't have an economic plan" stuff up because McCain has less of an economic plan than Obama...

and Obama has said they are coming out with the details...
as opposed to McCain who CAN'T come out with details because if they did ...they would not make sense.

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.

Molly: So you were a Republican two days ago on this board and now you're a Dem? Isn't that a flip flop?

T: ...zzzzzz....
