Yeah, and you forgot to tell us the economy is in great shape!

Who was it that said "I am confident about the American economy"?


I guess since about 7/8 years ago when I was saying it wasn't so good.

???? Are you perhaps answering the wrong message? The question was a "who"
question, not a "when" or "since"
question.


You're right. My mistake. You said it, although not exactly as typed.

Nope. Not even close. That's an exact quote from your boy Obama in the
last
debate.


No, it's not an exact quote. You shouldn't fib, especially when it's easy to
check.

"I am confident about the American economy. But we're going to have to have
some leadership in Washington."

Perhaps someone can see a difference between the sentence I quoted and the
first sentence you quoted. I don't see it.

Yes. That's clear.

to
check.

Here's your guy in Washington (btw, the Dow dropped 679 points today... the
economy is doing great!)

What he said was that he had faith in the economy as far as it's
ability to eventually recover. He did not say it was good now. He said
quite the opposite.

That may have been what his handlers had told him to say, but it certainly
wasn't what he said. Read the question he was answering, and then the
answer.

I think you are "handling yourself" on this one Dave.

Oh, I get it... you mean this quote, of which you convenient left out the
last part...

"I am confident about the American economy. But we're going to have to have
some leadership in Washington."

The answer is Sen. Barack Obama.

When I was listening to the debate I nearly burst out laughing. Here he
was
trying to take McCain to task for saying the economy was basically sound,
and then saying when he was asked whether he thought the economy would get
much worse before it gets better: "No. I am confident about the American
economy." Gimme a break.



I'm sure you need one, but I didn't almost burst out laughing when McCain
said:

"I have a plan to fix this problem"

"And with the plan that -- that I have, that will do that"
"We've got to have a package of reforms and it has got to lead to reform
prosperity and peace in the world. And I think that this problem has become
so severe, as you know, that we're going to have to do something about home
values."

"I like Meg Whitman [former CEO of eBay and current McCain campaign
adviser], she knows what it's like to be out there in the marketplace. She
knows how to create jobs." (and lay them off, apparently)

"I left my campaign and suspended it to go back to Washington to make sure
that there were additional protections for the taxpayer in the form of good
oversight, in the form of taxpayers being the first to be paid back when our
economy recovers -- and it will recover -- and a number of other measures."
