McCain oversighted the economy
Yesterday, Sen. McCain was on the TV and said to Harry Smith
The point is, I was chairman of the commerce committee. Every part of America’s economy, I oversighted. I have a long record, certainly far more extensive of being involved in our economy than Senator Obama does.
Wow. This seems both to be an in-context quote and remarkably dunderheaded. McCain just shot the entire “experience” argument in the face.
Yesterday was a long day of gaffes and inadvertent truths for the McCain campaign. May the unraveling begin!
Here’s a 4 minute NPR piece on Obama on the economy. The piece is not very substantial, however. More horse racey.
