What Obama suurogates should say: Given John McCain's history of support for RECKLESS deregulation
he is not well-suited to lead any attempt to fix the current economic mess.

Quote McCain bragging about deregulation.

Cite his choice of Phil Gramm who sponsored the Commodity Futures Modernization Act as his economic adviser. This bill is probably the most significant contributing factor in today's financial crisis.

Cite his choice of Carly Fiorina, who took a $21 million golden parachute after she was fired as HP's CEO, as campaign adviser. Cite Fiorina's slashing of 18,000 jobs which she outsoured to India and China. She was an outspoken critic of attempts to end tax breaks for companies who outsourced jobs.

McCain has for years ignored the impending economic problems that middle class America has been dealing with on a daily basis. McCain is truly a Johnny-come-lately to the cause of economic populism.
