After the Obama campaign immediately pounced on it, McCain tried to "clarify":
"My opponents may disagree, but those fundamentals of America are strong," McCain said at a campaign event in Orlando. "No one can match an American worker. Our workers sell more goods to more markets than any other on earth. Our workers have always been the strength of our economy, and they remain the strength of our economy today."

Next thing you know, McCain will have an ad out saying that Obama is anti-worker because he doesn't agree that the "fundamentals are sound."
WEAK.

Admitting reality has become unAmerican.
There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

McCain is so pro worker, except when he's trying to drive wages straight to the bottom with his Amnesty program. What a scrotum.
umm I think maybe Palin will take a backseat now to the economy issue.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
Wait a minute, are these the same workers, my friends, that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, thinks are too soft to work for a season picking lettuce for $50 an hour?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
The foundation of the Senator’s position is either so nuanced as to be unperceivable to those not versed in the arcana of economic theory or so spun as to make questioning it's original intent "unAmerican" as Epicurous astutely noted.
Furthermore, with such high profile economic sages as Greenspan stating the current crisis “still has a way to go” with the American economy having a “less than 50 percent” chance of avoiding a recession, such statements stand to be quickly overwhelmed, reinforcing Obama's insistence that McCain "just doesn't get it" as the electorate is battered by the latest dire economic headline.
If the Senator insists on continuing to channel the ghost of Herbert Hoover, he should be prepared for Senator Obama to pummel him with ads highlighting his repeated use of the "fundamentally sound" remark interspersed with woeful headlines and pictures and comments of Middle Class families battered by the flagging economic conditions.
