McCain Campaign on Obama's 'Vague' Economic Plan

On the McCain campaign conference call this morning, which was almost as long as some of the Clinton calls have been, Doug Holtz-Eakin and Carly Fiorina said that the Democratic candidates “mischaracterize” John McCain’s position on the economy.
“To describe McCain’s position as ‘do-nothing’ and ‘stand back and watch,’” former Hewlett-Packard C.E.O. Fiorina said, “is politics of the worst sort.”
She went on (while speeding down the highway in a car, she told reporters listening in) to describe the economic plans of both Democratic candidates as “vague” and to describe the position of both “John McCain and the Republican Party” as one that aimed to “put money and power and choice into the hands of people” and holds to the position that “the government should be the actor of last resort, not the actor of first resort.” Then her cell phone cut out.
Holtz-Eakin, one of McCain’s senior policy advisers, echoed the Clinton campaign criticism of Obama when he said of Obama’s economic speech, “I think these are wonderful words,” with a touch of condescension. He went on to say that McCain and Obama have a similar “bottom line” on the economy: transparency and accountability.
“That’s very nice,” Holtz-Eakin said, “but the devil will be in the details.”


















McCain is an adherent of the Charles H. Keating School of Economics. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're a McCain.
I hope Obamer brings in some talent at Treasury, cuz after his "economic" speech today, he's shown himself to be quite incapable.
Here's McCain and Romney at their first news conference:

MC-CAIN RISES FROM THE DEAD, TRANSFORMED FROM PODHORETZ NEO-CON TO REAGAN CONSERVATIVE
McCain miraculously acquired expertise in macro-economics, so as to guide the leading economist, Bernanke, in correct economic policy for avoiding recession and inflation; all thanks to his brilliant puppeteer, Neo-Con strategist Charlie Black.
Watch closely for further miraculous signs of Neo-Con McCain’s blooming intellect and born again morality in the months ahead; on the subjects of Christianity, Founding Fathers, and Constitution; as devious Charlie Black magically transforms him overnight from a Podhoretz Neo-Con into a Reagan Conservative.
Black supposes that the vast majority of trusting Americans are so easily tricked, by Judas ministers bought for 10 pieces of silver, that they will then flock like fools to McCain, as their messiah president; but this clever trickster supposes erroneously, for while he is scheming and plotting, the Reagan Conservatives are moving to condemn McCain to the Republican firing squad, for his notorious record of insane treason against Christian morality and Constitutional Law.
