Barack Obama is seizing on today's financial news -- and McCain's claim today that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong" -- to further paint McCain as out of touch and clueless about the economic realities facing many Americans.
excerpts below...
Why else would he say that we've made great progress economically under George Bush? Why else would he say that the economy isn't something he understands as well as he should? Why else would he say, today, of all days - just a few hours ago - that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong?
Senator - what economy are you talking about?
What's more fundamental than the ability to find a job that pays the bills and can raise a family? What's more fundamental than knowing that your life savings is secure, and that you can retire with dignity? What's more fundamental than knowing that you'll have a roof over your head at the end of the day? What's more fundamental than that?
Also accuses McCain for stealing his lines in pushing his message of "change." "Instead of borrowing my lines, he needs to borrow some of our ideas."
