Obama lets McCain have it on the economy. Calls McCain's commission idea " the oldest Washington stunt in the book"
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — John McCain wants a commission to solve the economic mess. Obama blasted that idea as as stunt and passing the buck:

Obama seizes opportunity, hammers McCain on economy
Political Animal — OBAMA SEIZES OPPORTUNITY, HAMMERS MCCAIN ON ECONOMY.... If Democrats were waiting for a significant shift in the campaign's direction, the crisis on Wall Street seems to have provided one. Barack Obama not only too John McCain to task on the economy today in a major speech in Colorado, he spoke with the kind of intensity that's been largely missing since the end of the Democratic convention. "Make no mistake: my opponent is running for four more years of policies that will throw the economy further out of balance," Obama said, taking on McCain's bankrupt ideology. "His outrage at Wall Street would be more convincing if he wasn't offering them more tax cuts. ...

But instead of focusing only on McCain's words, we examined the Arizona senator's career as a public official - one who's formative regulatory experience was being a member of the Keating Five pressing federal financial regulators to stop doing their job in advance of the S&L; crisis (ie. the most analogous crisis to today's Wall Street meltdown). McCain, as the S&L; scandal first suggested, is no run-of-the-mill free-market fundamentalist. Yes, he voted for the ill-advised repeal of the key ...

Obama Fundamentally Unsound!
Flopping Aces — Remember when Obama said McCain was “out of touch” for saying the fundamentals of our economy are sound? See the attack ad here. Obama said the exact same thing recently at a time when the Dow Jones average is 4,000 points lower. Is Obama out of touch or was John McCain right? One wonders if McCain had been elected whether the Dow might still be around 11,000? ...
