Economy

‘Senator – what economy are you talking about?’

Posted by JumpyPants

BAM!

Here we go! Just now, while Paulsen is in Washington de facto endorsing Obama's call to revamp ancient regulatory systems, and while John McNutjob is in Florida talking about how our economy is fundamentally strong, Senator Obama is in Colorado, where he not only delivers the truth, he delivers it with quotable panache: "Senator - what economy are you talking about?"

Listen to that line. It says it all: 1) the economy is a mess. 2) I know it. 3) John McCain doesn't know it. 4) John McCain is so far out of touch with reality that he is, yes, crazy.

Here's some more of it, and it only gets better:

Why else would he say that we've made great progress economically under George Bush? Why else would he say that the economy isn't something he understands as well as he should? Why else would he say, today, of all days - just a few hours ago - that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong?

Senator - what economy are you talking about?

What's more fundamental than the ability to find a job that pays the bills and can raise a family? What's more fundamental than knowing that your life savings is secure, and that you can retire with dignity? What's more fundamental than knowing that you'll have a roof over your head at the end of the day? What's more fundamental than that?

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is still lying about her bridge as she works hard to build her Campaign To Nowhere.
