I have the sneaky feeling that McCain is going to vote no on the modified plan and then suggest one of his own.

If McCain votes against the bailout, at least it will be more consistent with his insistence that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
Mr. McCain, if you believe the fundamentals are strong, how come you've decided to suspend your campaign and argue that the presidential debates should be canceled?
Republicans repeatedly chastised John Kerry for being a "flip-flopper." I think McCain has become the flip-flopper of the century.

Mr. McCain, if you believe the fundamentals are strong, how come you've decided to spend your campaign and argue that the presidential debates should be canceled? Republicans repeatedly chastised John Kerry for being a "flip-flopper." I think McCain has become the flip-flopper of the century. The century has had nine years, so the flip-flopper of the century award really isn't that significant. But thanks for playing! And Obama has flip-flopped on recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, accepting public financing, and (maybe - I'm not sure what his position has ever been) on the Iraq war. While your bank may be fundamentally sound, if everyone tries to withdraw their money at the same time, it won't have enough. In that case, the fundamentals are strong, but you may still have a problem. I believe that the fundamentals of the US economy remain strong - Google, WalMart, GE, DuPont, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and Exxon all dominate their respective fields. The greatest competition for Microsoft Office remains pirated Microsoft Office. Apple is a popular innovator. US universities continue to be the envy of the world. Bank of America came out of the financial crisis smelling like a rose. Yes, there's rotten wood. This financial crisis is going to chop it out. But the idea that the US economy is doomed is foolish. |

So when the President of the United States said last night that our "entire economy is in danger" was he overstating the condition of the economy? Do you think Senator McCain would seriously consider going on the record with that argument? |
