This is really starting to piss me off!

Have you listened to this man blabber on about the economy today? After telling us yesterday that the "economy is fundamentally strong," he tells us today that he knows how to fix it - and he will. How? He doesn't say...what a set of balls! He really must believe we are stupid. Here he is on ABC today - if you have the stomach.

Let's go to the facts, as the NY Times points out today:
But his record on the issue, and the views of those he has always cited as his most influential advisers, suggest that he has never departed in any major way from his party’s embrace of deregulation and relying more on market forces than on the government to exert discipline.

While Mr. McCain has cited the need for additional oversight when it comes to specific situations, like the mortgage problems behind the current shocks on Wall Street, he has consistently characterized himself as fundamentally a deregulator and he has no history prior to the presidential campaign of advocating steps to tighten standards on investment firms.

As Obama is saying: how can McCain be trusted to fix the problems that he and the Republicans created?

Of course, McCain won't tell us how - just that he will. Sounds familiar? He also said he knows how to get bin Laden, but again refuses to tell us how.
