Barack Obama said Monday that John McCain is trying to shift attention from the troubled economy because the issue is bad for the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign.
The Democratic presidential candidate told reporters in Asheville, N.C., that he ‘‘cannot imagine anything more important to talk about’’ than Americans’ losing their jobs, health care and homes. To read more click here:Barack Obama to John McCain: It's the economy, stupid
Fundamentals of the economy are strong - or so says John McCain
Pegged to a Times story that adds nothing to the theory that Obama and Bill Ayers were particularly close, the McCain camp is focusing on that association again today, in an attempt to move the conversation beyond the economic issues on which Obama looks to spend the last month of the race.

McCain clueless as economic crisis deepens - WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Giving up on Michigan hasn't helped John McCain's fortunes. Now the Republican presidential nominee is staring defeat in the face in Ohio, too -- and worse is to come. Read more
[SIZE=2]"I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." Denied saying this in a primary debate. [/SIZE]
The issues of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should."
Wants to cut capital gains taxes.
Has Phil Gramm as a chief economic advisor, even though he opposed cracking down on tax havens, like those used by bin Laden, shortly after the 9/11 attacks.

"I don't have the kind of expertise to know exactly whether he has cut interest rates sufficiently or not."

2 choices this election
Choice 1, vote for someone who does not understand the economy and econics, and realises it
Choice 2, vote for someone who thinks they understand the economy, but is wrong about it..

Thanks, I pick choice 1..
McCain denies that he ever said he doesn't understand the economy as well as he should.
Quote:
Q: You have admitted that you’re not exactly an expert when it comes to the economy and many have said –
McCAIN: I have not. I have not. Actually, I have not. I said that I am stronger on national security issues because of all the time I spent in the military. I’m very strong on the economy. I understand it. I have a lot more experience than my opponent.
