Good thing we have people like Jim around to remind us about lipstick and pigs. That's clearly more relevant to who would better serve the American people than unimaginably stupid quotes like "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

i'm no economic expert, but i don't think the statement that the fundamentals are strong is outrageous. we do have strong fundamentals. do we have a big issues facing us now, yes.
poor choice of words by McCain on black monday, certainly.

speaking of who would serve the American people better, McCain was a leader trying to get Fannie/Freddie reformed for some time. where was Obama? well he was so busy lining his pockets with lobbyist money from Fannie/Freddie, he didn't have time to get involved or to have an opinion. of course he counts the disgraced leaders of these institutions as close advisors, what a shocker.

on the bright side, I understand that any day BO might actually take a stand on the AIG bailout, so far his position is that he isn't second guessing the decision, but not supporting it either. thats like one of his famous "present" votes. first he has to learn that the name of the company is American International Group, and not American Insurance Group.

Are you some kind of wingnut? We are in this spot largely because of deregulation of wall st and who was the king of that? Yes, JOHN MCCAIN.

You think a guy that would say this would be best to lead us during these economic times:
