Washington, DC – This morning the McCain campaign sent around a video clip of John McCain on Good Morning America under the “In Case You Missed It” headline. What the clip did not include, however, is Senator McCain misleading the voters on his own admission that the economy is something “I still need to be educated on” despite his 25 years in Washington. When the reporter interviewing McCain began her question by noting that McCain has “admitted that you’re not exactly an expert when it comes to the economy,” McCain interrupted and said “I have not. I have not. Actually I have not.” [ABC News, Good Morning America, 7/2/08]
In reality, McCain has repeatedly acknowledged that he doesn’t understand the economy and that he’s “not smart enough” to solve challenges like the mortgage crisis. He has, however, read Alan Greenspan’s book.
Today, your friends at the Democratic National Committee released the video that McCain’s campaign wanted you to miss. Watch it here:
“Apparently John McCain’s campaign thinks the voters haven’t already noticed that he was right when he admitted he doesn’t understand the economy as well as he should,” said DNC Communications Director Karen Finney. “As the voters have gotten to know John McCain, they realize that he is offering more of the same failed and flawed Bush policies that have left America’s working families struggling to keep their jobs, stay in their homes, and pay more for everything from gasoline to groceries. The last thing Americans can afford is John McCain’s promise of four more years of the Bush economy.”
