The McCain Campaign Doesn’t Care About The Economy

This is why they’re losing.

Asked on a just-ended conference call about his candidates’ lack of daily campaign statements on the plummeting of global markets in recent days, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said that too much focus on the stock market could be redundant if repeated every day.

‘I don’t know if you really want to turn a campaign into a CNBC news show on the stock market,’ he said. ‘I mean it doesn’t mean that we don’t care and aren’t trying to do something about it. It’s just I’m not exactly sure what you say everyday.’

    The economy is McCain’s bin Laden. He doesn’t spend that much time on it, to be honest. He’s more worried about making sure the banks are well-supplied; that the fundamentals are strong.

    You know, I really hate to say this, and I’m sure I’ll catch flak for it, but it looks to me like we did to ourselves what bin Laden couldn’t do with planes and box cutters.

    Oh, no flak, Duros. You’re not alone at all in thinking that.

    There is no way anyone could beat the United States with bombs, planes or force. We’re too big, too rich (yes, still) with just too strong a military.

    But

    Get us to destroy ourselves? Sure, the last seven years have shown how easy that is. And if things continue as they have (thankfully, Obama should win and with all that brings we’ll have a decent chance to get back on a more correct path) it won’t be long before we look around and what we see won’t be “America” anymore.

    And I’ve wandered many times during the last seven years if that isn’t just what bin Laden had in mind.
