Hey, John McCain, I think it's just swell that you took some time out today to address all of our various economic crises. After all, it's important that you demonstrate at least some dim awareness of the issue, especially now that ol' Muqtada al Sadr might prevent you from running on the success of the "Surge" and all. Plus, you need to sort of hit those "maverick" bona fides. Because you're the reformer, right? Not beholden to the corporate interests, n'est-ce pas? Well, here's a suggestion - and I hope you'll take it in the spirit in which its given (whatever that is): the next time you want to send a message that you are going to look out for the little guy as the economic downturn wolves circle their door, maybe DON'T stand in front of a backdrop that reads "PAID FOR BY..." KTHXBAI!

Seriously voting for John McCain is like voting for Bankruptcy. I understand the anger between Obama and Clinton supporters, but do you really want to destroy this country further over a grudge?

John gave an economic speech? Must have been the shortest on record. Luckily it was over before he put anyone to sleep.

The fact that one of his top economic advisers wrote a book titled "DOW 36,000" tells me all I need to know about McCain's economic plan.

Which Corporations will write McCain's economic platform? Will he keep their names secret like Cheney did Enron?

Poor John. He is so totally tonedeaf. But then, he is a Neocon, isn't he?
