Why don't you enlighten us on what the fundamentals are..
Are you referring to Keysian consumption, private investment, govt investment... ??? Are you referring to manufacturing output, service sector output????
I know this forum is mostly Republican/Conservative - so I guess most of the posters will be pretty upset the day after the election...

No, actually McCain was referring to the American worker when he said that. NOT. How dumb does he think we are with his fake azz back peddling.
McCain meant that the foundation and basis of the economy is still strong. He agrees we need to make big changes, but if the fundamentals are strong then we have a good place to start over.
I have to say, I really am tired of the all the Liberal "geeks' on here - who obviously have nothing better to do than befriend, or argue with, people online all day and night. Do you all not have jobs, or are you sitting around waiting for Obama to drop down from the heavens and save you all? Most Reps are Christians, so we actually believe it will be Jesus and not Obama. Anyway....You do realize he will take all of your money, the wealthy will no longer shop or invest (hurting the economy even more), he will take control of your healthcare and the quality you receive will greatly deminish, and you will then live in a Socialist society!!! Is that what you really want?
By the way, look up Socialism while you are looking up Fundamental.
What terrible timing for a statement that 'the fundamentals of the economy are strong' - McCain uttered these words just days ago - at the very start of the latest economic crisis on Wall Street.
I don't see this crisis ending anytime soon - residential real estate won't bottom out for at least a year, and we haven't even begun to see the commercial real estate bubble bursting.
The "No Regulation" Republicans couldn't have more egg on their face than they do. And McCain, 'Mr Deregulation', is one of their leading egg heads...
I think by November we will surely be in a deep recession - and the chances of McCain winning the White House will be low...
Who would trust a Republican to right the economy???
One would have to have amnesia around the past 7.5 years for anyone to be that dumb.
I read a good editorial article today by Jay Bookman. Here's the first paragraph:
"The McCain campaign has bet the '08 election on a belief that facts, reality, history and issues don't matter anymore. All that matters is projecting a version of reality that voters find attractive."

Typical Liberal!!! Why don't you Google a few of these things and see if your Community Organizing-descender-from-the-clouds really is any better. You people really are under some kind of spell....small brains are easily influenced when something shiny is held up in front of them and promises them candy and quarters!!! Grow up and realize the Dems only want the gov't to take control - get a job and take care of your own family!!! Take off the Tevas, put down the granola, come out of the tent, and get in touch with the real world.
Mom2My3,
I am already in touch with the real world - thank you anyhow for being so concerned.
And I already have a job - a pretty darn good one - it puts my family into the top 5% of households by income - so I can't be such a total nitwit - hmmmm?
And I will definitely be voting for Obama and the Democrats in November - because I want them to control our government and start repairing the damage that Bush and the Republicans have done over the past 8 years.

Thanks for the post - a lot of truth in that assessment.
I personally think most Republicans who are running for office are hoping that the electorate will have amnesia and not remember what a terrible job they did running things over the past 8 years.
And Obama thinks the fundamentals are handouts and more freebies.
Can you imagine what the disaster team of Obama, Reid and Pelosi would do to this country together.
The end would be near.
With no military, no oil, no jobs and a bunch of illegals running around this country would be done for.
You forgot to add Biden in there. To quote Rush, "That man is one french fry short of a Happy Meal." I hope he keeps on opening his mouth....he is going to bring Obama down!! Remember...he thinks Hillary would make a better VP than him!! Ha!! Can you believe he said that?
Hillary is so peeved she can't even be seen with Palin...except on SNL!
Those crazy Dems!!!

Rush is dead on right, Biden is one of the stupidest things Obama has done and believe me he pulls good ones all the time.
Talk about pandering, he only picked his because of his own WEAKNESS on foreign policy and come to find out Dirty Joe Biden doesnt even know which are the sunnis are in. How is that for an expert?
Two fools in one suit.
