John McCain, on the trail in Florida today -- yes, today -- tells us the fundamentals of our economy are "still" strong...

Here's the full quote:

"You know that there's been tremendous turmoil in our financial markets and Wall St. And it is -- people are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong. But these are very, very difficult times."

Anyone sense a campaign ad from Obama getting ready for immediate production?

1. Really, John?. . REALLY ??

Could the "out of touch" be any more striking?

[Jennicut]

2. What "fundamentals" is he looking at? can he be anymore clueless?

He is so out of touch. The stock market was down about 300 points last time I looked and the economy is about to implode.

[malik flavors]

3. I posted this in the video section also. Talk about inserting foot into mouth.

4. WTF?

The man is out to lunch.

For five years I couldn't watch an economy fail...

[bdamomma]

5. on what planet do you live on John.

stop the lies and the BS.

[KittyWampus]

7. Oh, you're just one grouser in a nation full of needy whiners...

the ads, they write themselves

[closeupready]

14. Exactly - lies and BS. He has nothing else.

:mad:

[islandmkl]

6. kind of like a plane headed straight for a nose-dive into the ground, and m.c.johnny says:

the pilots are in full control...

[Curtland1015]

8. McCain is digging his own grave with this. It would be hilarious...

...if it wasn't so sad!

His CFA said that we love to "exaggerate"... I can't wait till all those poor people who have lost their jobs and houses here this.

[MercutioATC]

9. Would somebody PLEASE ask him to define "fundamentals"

He keeps saying that when it's our weak "fundamentals" that are causing this problem.

If this was due to a natural disaster or a rogue trader or something along those lines, the "fundamentals" could still be strong while we see losses like this. The fact is that the "fundamentals" of our economy...and the financial markets...have been out of whack for over a decade and what we're seeing now is the effect of that.

[KittyWampus]

10. fundamentals- how many houses he owns.

[renate]

20. good point... i smell a good campaign ad for Obama in what you said! n/t

[melody]

11. The fundamentals of his sanity are highly suspect n/t

[lolamio]

12. Yeah. In the bizarro alternate universe where McCain and his running mate apparently reside. n/t

[KittyWampus]

13. we are all just depressed and need more time on the tanning bed.

[still_one]

15. This is the same bull shit during the republican primary debates that EVERY republican candidate

said except ron paul

It must be made very clear how OUT of touch the republicans are

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. fuck you John. I am not in the mood this morning for your BullShit.

reading is fundamental and I can read and I call bullshit on your analysis.

[DinahMoeHum]

17. More pissing in the wind, JohnnyMac??

:evilfrown:

[mohc]

18. Who does he sound like?

"The American economy is the envy of the world, and we need to keep it that way," Bush said, conceding that "I'm not an economist'' but maintaining that he sees strong basic indicators in the state of the economy. "The fundamentals of our economy are strong. ... Job creation is strong. Real after-tax wages are on the rise. Inflation is low."

They must share the same brain.

[KittyWampus]

28. actually, he sounds like Baghdad Bob

[Shine]

19. Helloooooo???? Earth to McCain.....

:wtf: unbelievable.

[medicswife]

21. Some trickle down. I'm sure as hell not feeling it. nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

30. I am

feeling pissed on.

[City Lights]

22. You can't have it both ways, McCan't!

If the fundamentals of our economy are strong they shouldn't need "reforming" now should they?

America can't afford four more years of failed McBush policies!

[DefenseLawyer]

23. I don't think the heavy stuff will come down for a while...

I'd keep playing.

[AngryOldDem]

24. If I owned six houses and married an heiress, I'd feel the same. n/t

[Curtland1015]

27. 9 houses, actually.

What a prick this guy is.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. Thanks for providing the next campaign commercial. n/t

[SuperTrouper]

26. There he goes again

[Captain Hilts]

29. Thanks to FDR!

Steerin' the ship of state...
