The economy is issue #1 !!

From here on till the general election, the democratic party has been handed the tool they need to win.

The bail out of these major financial institutions due to poor government regulations is excellent fodder for a win

McCain clarifies economy comments

Hours after calling the economy ‘strong,’ John McCain appeared to clarify the comment Monday afternoon, minutes after he was derided as "out of touch" by the Obama campaign.
"My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals of America are strong," McCain said at a campaign event in Orlando. "No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. Our workers have always been the strength of our economy, and they remain the strength of our economy today."
“But their efforts are not being matched at the top," he added. "From Washington to Wall Street, the top of our economy is broken. We have seen self interest, greed, irresponsibility and corruption undermine the hard work of the American people."
McCain faced criticism earlier in the day from Democrats for telling a Jacksonville crowd that, "Our economy — I think, still — the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times."

Thing is Lazie, McCain is right about the American economy. It is not busted.

BUT: with the current trend with some of these big financial institutions-- McCain dare not ignore the fact that 'the man in the street' is hurting. Lots and lots of folks are a paycheck away from being homeless....
