You are confusing lack of understanding (mccain) from an effort to inject some optimism (obama) into an economy that is clearly still very sick, but for which some of the symptoms of the illness are slowing. Sounds to me like Obama is the guy who is confused. Five months ago, he ridiculed McCain who apparently had it right, if Obama is to be believed today. Were you not a blindly partisan extremist socialist liberal, you would give McCain credit for being right. Only a couple of months ago you were accusing the president of being a pessimist and therefore responsible for the downfall of the markets, etc...is there anything this man can do that will placate you? I doubt it He SHOULD be positive. But that doesn't excuse his bashing the economy during the election season, which obviously had a lot to do with the problem in the first place. The man lied. It is that simple. Either the fundamentals of the economy were strong 5 months ago as McCain said, or they aren't now. The fundamentals of the economy don't change that radically in a few months time. To try and claim that McCain misunderstood the situation is disingenuous. He was right, Obama was wrong. Give McCain credit where credit is due. We will never know to what extent the Left's constant bashing CAUSED the crisis.
