McBush 44 saying that US workers are fundamentals?
since when have 'we' the American workers been fundamentals? McCain is definitely losing it!

McBush 44 Today!
Earlier in the day - Our economy I think, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times," Senator McCain said.

Later in the day - in his second event of the day, in Orlando, McCain stuck by his "fundamentals" argument, but said he was talking about the contribution US workers made to turn the American economy into a global powerhouse.

OBAMA ATTACKED

But Obama lacerated McCain's economic strategy, and once again sought to portray him as out of touch and committed to a carbon copy of unpopular President George W. Bush's economic policy.

"What's more fundamental than the ability to find a job that can pay the bills and that can raise a family?

"What's more fundamental than knowing your life savings are secure ... and that you'll have a roof over your head at the end of the day?

"It's the same philosophy we've had for the last eight years -- one that says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else."

1. His switch on the definition of "fundamentals" was both ridiculous
and implausible, not to speak of ignorant. Everyone knows what "economic fundamentals" refers to.

2. If American workers are the "fundamentals" why does the Republican Party keep stabbing them in the..
back.

7. I'm thinking that the Obama camp has known all along that McCain would
completely pull something like this out of his butt and it would bite him good.

The press have been hammering him for a couple days, the next few ought to be HUGELY ennertaining.
