McCain: The economy is in ‘terrible shape’

[audtatious]

Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is in “terrible shape” and that Americans “are hurting badly right now.”

The Arizona senator, in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” said he is “very strong on the economy.” “I understand it,” he said, adding that he has “a lot more experience than my opponent.”

He touted his economic recovery plan, saying that his remedies would include low taxes, less regulation and beginning to drill off the U.S. coast. McCain also argued that the country needs to “get to work” on nuclear and alternative energy and invest in clean coal technology.

In addition, the GOP standard-bearer said that the country must “stop distorting the market by subsidizing ethanol and preventing sugar cane-based ethanol from coming into the United States.”

McCain spoke to the network from Colombia where he is discussing drug trafficking and a free trade agreement with the U.S.

Well, I agree with most of the above but his direction on Global Warming cap-n-trade and open boarders is crappy and shows he is not as strong as he thinks from an economic perspective

HELL YES.

Maybe I'll slap a McCain sticker on the DesertFuel.org car.

Yeah. But Mac is still hit-n-miss to me because his whole global warming crap could really screw us up

McCain's campaign is sinking rapidly.

It is funny to watch him deny things he has said in the past & then watch the video tape that contradicts his denials. A loser, BS artist, and a flip flopper in my opinion. Tim Russert was such a pro at playing gotcha with candidates.

Nothing new. Obama is constantly trying to sidestep stuff as well.
