McCain, Obama Argue Over Economy
Washington, September 15, 2008 - Poles have shown the American people are most concerned over the Economy. So, it’s not surprising that both presidential nominees are anxious to prove they will do the best job to dig us out of the hole the last 8 years has dug. Where John McCain blames the most recent upheavals of Lehman and Merrill Lynch on “greed and corruption” as he promised to straighten it all out if he is elected president, Barack Obama blames it on policies of the current administration and says McCain will only spread more of the same.
What the American People want to know is how each of them would fix the economy and bring us back to feeling we are moving into the future with some security rather than feel that each day brings more economical gloom and doom. Perhaps we will have to wait until the upcoming presidential debates to get a clearer picture on how McCain and Obama plan to make the changes they have both been touting in their speeches.
Obama believes that we are in the most serious economical situation since the Great Depression. All the while, our current president, Bush, still considers that we have a strong economy.
McCain doesn’t seem to be able to make up his mind while he continually contradicts himself or at his age is he just forgetting what he’s already said. In a recent TV ad he declared, “Our economy is in crisis. Only proven reformers John McCain and Sarah Palin can fix it.” Yet while speaking to voters in Jacksonville, Florida he touted Bush’s words by saying, “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.” So, we really don’t have a clear picture of his beliefs on the U.S. economy.
Let us hope to see some hard hitting questions put before both presidential candidates come debate time. Let us watch and listen carefully so we can make the best possible choice for our country.
