But he can only "govern" by relying on some of the most questionable characters to occupy government office in my lifetime, including Phil Gramm and the entire advisory staff which has led George Bush so far astray.
But I have confidence that the American people will not compound past mistakes by electing John McCain to the highest office. eEvery time he opens his mouth, he gives more evidence of his unsuitability for the office he seeks. This week he has twice told us that "the economy is fundamentally sound." Right! And just three weeks ago he announced that "The economy is not my strong suit." Coming from a man who spent ten years as chair of the Senate's Commerce Committee, this is pretty damning. Didn't he learn ANYTHING in those ten years? Evidently not.

Horseshit.
He said the fundamentals of the economy are sound. There is a world of difference.
It won't take much to get the economy going again.
Most of the problem is consumer confidence is waning after the constant negativity of Barack Obama and his media stooges.
When you are constantly hearing bad news it depresses the market, the housing industry, and the banking industry.
If the media would stop blowing things out of proportion and cheerleading a possible collapse it would reverse the panic selling we're getting in the market this week.
Obama is so full of shit where the economy is concerned. He claims we're in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression. Bullshit.
This is the same thing John Kerry said. Remember?
I don't see any soup-lines. 93% of us are gainfully employed, we aren't eating onion sandwiches like some of us were during the Depression. I can't remember having to run down and kill my food lately. I can still go to Micky D's any time I want. If this was a Depression you can kiss eating out goodby.
But the easy life most of us are living would suddenly come to an end and we would have a Depression if Obama gets in and starts raising taxes and cutting our military like he says he will. Regardless of the ability our economy has of recovering raising taxes will ruin it.
