Obama: Wall Street Tumbles And All John McCain Can Do Is Stoke "Anger And Division"

Politico reports:

Barack Obama attacked John McCain Friday for launching a "barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks" as the stock market drops tumbles.

"Even as we face the most serious economic crisis of our time, even as you are worried about keeping your jobs or paying your bills or staying in your homes, my opponent's campaign announced last week that they plan to 'turn the page' on the discussion about our economy so they can spend the final weeks of this election attacking me instead," Obama said during a speech in Chillicothe, Ohio.

John Weaver, John McCain's former top strategist, says the Republican candidate is making both a moral and a tactical mistake by letting abusive hecklers have free rein at rallies:

"People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Senator Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Senator McCain," Weaver said. "And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive."

This crisis is the direct result of the last eight years of MARKET FUNDAMENTALISM and neocon hubris thinking they could engineer the market to eliminate market cycles. It has nothing to do with a future president speaking calmly and everything to do with erratic “maverick” neocons whipping up fear and loathing.

*** WATCH Sarah Palin admit that Obama’s message was “ RESONATING WELL ” with Alaskan.

This was right before she was picked as McCain’s VP!

She had no problems with Obama before being picked.

I see an ad coming

Please, Mr. Obama, use this in your ads. It is hysterical. And another example of the hypocritical Republicans. They have more flip-flops than all of the beaches in Hawaii.

[Medius]

LOL. It must have rebooted itself.

[righttime08]

McCain campaign should start playing "END OF THE ROAD" soundtrack at there remaining shout-out .Is free ,no copyright or permission needed. It can also help the whining republican supporters to gradually know the game is over.McCai­n-Palin Ship wreck already is not even Nov.4th yet !! lol

The republicants would rather be dead than wrong.

FLASH - Joe Sixpack threw himself in front of a train today. Found in a note left behind he stated, "I am just to embarrassed by the Republicans to keep going". He will be missed.

[jpcline004]

LOL

[rosal]

True patriots and repbs that really love and care for this country ARE embarrassed by the tone of McTemper's campaign. By their reaction we know who REALLY love this country.

[freakspeely]

Joe Sixpack threw himself in front of a train because he can't afford to pay his house note or help send his kid to college...­.he can't even afford a six-pack, and that's the straw that broke the camel's back.

[PT6]

Demos are supposed to be shouted down like in the ROVE DAYS!

Look out Repubs we can attack just as hard and perhaps harder!

This is not your "Father's or Grand Father's" Democrat!

[GameBucketFan]

...yawn...

[BlueStateMan]

You have a piece of spinach in your molar.... no right there....

Brush your teeth, will ya?

[rich misty]

I want to know why the GOP is attacking Americans instead of sending out their dainty cheerleaders to tell us all about the massive success of the wonderful Bush/McCain economy???

[BlueStateMan]

Because that's what they DO.

[helenwheels]

Because that's ALL they DO!! LOL....

[Budokan]

Stoke "anger and division." In other words, being a good Republican.

[AdLib]

At his current rally, McCain responded to an audience member telling him to fight hard and strongly at the last debate and McCain responded asking them to respect Obama.

The hatred has taken its toll on McCain.

[Chillinout]

He is starting to lose his base and even high profile Republicans are coming out against him.

I think it has gone to far now, though. He can't turn that hatred off as easily as he turned it on.

[Crampa]

Oh my, now Obama's wife has ties to Ayers!

Say it ain't so, Joe?

Where's your cred?

[BlueStateMan]

You, on the other hand, have ties that date back to the good old days of Jim Crow.... perhaps you should try one on for old times sake.... tighten it up.......t­ighter....­...TIGHTER­!

[Evinsmom]

I heard that McCain will drop Palin from the ticket next week...I heard it before but am hearing it again. Anyone else hear this?

[Coyote2]

He'll pick up lieberman in an erratic attempt to swing left from the hard-right Palin.

[Montanabama]

Are you sure it isn't Palin dropping McCain from the ticket?

Federal Prosecutor of the Weathermen in the 1970s writes letter to NYTimes.

Is amazed and outraged that Senator Obama is being linked to William Ayer’s terrorist activities 40 years ago.
