McBush Continues Proving He's Unfit For The Presidency
McBush is ignorant about the current economic debacle.
From AFL-CIO:
From ThinkProgress:
"Marty Lederman writes, "If one examines the entire series of statements, it soon becomes evident either that the Senator and his staff have no earthly idea what they're talking about or (more likely) that they are quite deliberately being as ambiguous, equivocal and contradictory as possible, so that they can embrace whichever view is politically expedient at any given time and with any given audience."
McBush thinks he's campaigning in the early 20th century not the 21st century and lies, thinking there is no instantaneous record of his public statements.
"McLiar denies criticizing the media. "In a recent interview with Newsweek, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) denied saying in a recent speech that “the media often overlooked how compassionately” Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) “spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans.” “I did not [say that] — that was in prepared remarks, and I did not [say it],” McCain told the reporters. “I’m not in the business of commenting on the press and their coverage or not coverage.” But as Politico’s Jonathan Martin points out, the video of his speech shows that McCain actually did say it."
McBumbler and his bumbling campaign spokespeople and crew can't keep their stories straight.
From ThinkProgress: "In a widely-ridiculed speech last Tuesday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) noted that “you will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy.” He added that he believes those comparisons are “false.”
"But it seems that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), McCain’s chief surrogate and attack dog, disagrees. Today on ABC’s This Week, Graham stated unequivocally that McCain’s tax and health care policies were not only an extension of Bush’s polices but also an 'enhancement':
"STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me bring Senator Graham back in on this because you brought up two. You said the tax policy and the health care policy were essentially, Senator Graham, John McCain is calling for an extension or maybe enhancement of the Bush policies.
"GRAHAM: Yeah, absolutely.
"But the simple fact is that Graham is right. McCain is proposing massive tax cuts that primarily benefit higher-income households, ignore other priorities and drive up the national debt by trillions. And McCain’s health care policy would raise costs and abandon the uninsured. That sure sounds like an “extension” and “enhancement” of Bush’s policies." A McBush administration would not only be a Dubya third term it would be worse than the last seven years.
And finally, McBush brings up the Cold War again and calls Putin the president of Germany. Angela Merkel will be surprised and so will Putin. McBumbler is getting worse.
From AFL-CIO:
"Hours before we learned the unemployment rate shifted to an egregious 5.5 percent, oil costs rose to an unconscionable $139 a barrel and the Dow stock index plummeted by nearly 400 points in a day, here’s what likely Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain had to say:
McBush is also ignorant about FISA law, only that he wants telecoms to have retroactive immunity for their crimes."I have a great belief that the fundamentals of the economy are very strong. Very strong."
From ThinkProgress:
"At a news conference yesterday, a reporter asked McCain whether Bush’s warrantless National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program, exposed in December 2005, was illegal. McCain said it’s unclear whether Bush broke the law by spying on Americans without court approval. The Times reports:
“It’s ambiguous as to whether the president acted within his authority of not,’’ he said, saying courts had ruled different ways on the matter. “I’m not interested in going back. I’m interested in addressing the challenge we face to day of trying to do everything we can to counter organizations and individuals that want to destroy this country. So there’s ambiguity about it. Let’s move forward.’’
"It’s not ambiguous as to whether spying on Americans without a warrant is illegal. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 specifically states that the President can authorize spying without a court order only if:
–”There is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party”
– “The acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers“
"In contrast, Bush’s warrantless spy program, as the New York Times explained in December 2005, authorized “warrantless eavesdropping on those inside the United States - including American citizens.”
