McCain Denies Saying He Doesn't Know Much About Economics

Think Progress:

This week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is traveling through Colombia, making a push for a free-trade agreement. In an interview with ABC this morning from Cartagena, McCain was asked about his now infamous statement that he doesn't understand economics well. McCain quickly interrupted the interviewer, denying he ever said this:

Q: You have admitted that you're not exactly an expert when it comes to the economy and many have said -

McCAIN: I have not. I have not. Actually, I have not. I said that I am stronger on national security issues because of all the time I spent in the military. I'm very strong on the economy. I understand it. I have a lot more experience than my opponent.

Yes, he did say it and I watched when he did. He might have thought it would matter little at the time as he also went into having someone as VP who would know more about it than he did. Funny how he keeps forgeting the "new age" of video. You would think he ad been stung enough by the other repeats of what he has said in the past. Makes me wonder about his memory...
