The Obama-McCain Blather On The Economy

By The Daily Dish
Sep 19 2008, 11:25 AM ET

Noah Millman provides a summary of each candidates' economic crisis messaging:

McCain: We’re in this mess because a bunch of Wall Street hot shots got us into it, but they won’t dare to pull that stuff when I’m in the White House, because I survived five years in a POW camp. Do I look like the kind of guy who hangs around with a bunch of Wall Street sissies who buy their shirts at Thomas Pink? Not on your tintype girlie-girl.

His Obama take-down is very shrewd too. Don't you wish we had an actual conservative on either ticket?
