John McCain makes another one of those verbal oopsies (see a previous noteworthy soundbite) and Team Obama wastes no time whipping an ad around it. Bonus points for mentioning the Lehman Brothers collapse. Way to be timely!
Feels like dirty press to me. Our economy’s shit, but it’s not a lost cause, and I think that’s what McCain wanted to highlight. You cannot save a lost cause.
Still, a fellow blogger points out, “running the economy from a defensive mindset like that is different than having a vibrant economy.” McCain’s a defense guy for sure — and defense usually implies lack of leverage. You’re trying to protect what’s left, not win new ground.
Even so, are we all in agreement that a vibrant economy can be manufactured with Extra-Strength Hope Serum?
