McCain Priority "Protect Investors"

Protect investors? What about Americans!!!!

Everytime I read another article about John McCain, what he is talking about today, trying to find out his plan for this economic problem facing America, he proves to me he could not be more out of touch with the rest of us paying the current gas prices in America.

Barack Obama has said its time to focus on the people who are really feeling this, not jus the big corporations and companies who are responsible for this mess in the first place. In Ohio yesterday, Barack Obama stated that some Republican strategists have said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If we don't turn the page and stop talking about this economic disaster, we are going to lose the election." Barack's response to that, is exactly what Americans want to hear, "McCain needs to start worrying about the people who are really losing, losing their house, losing their job, losing their retirements, during this crisis!"

he nailed it! McCain just keeps wanting to help out his investor friends, nothing to do with the rest of America.

McCain spends over $200,000 on maids and "household help" in a year, that is more than most Americans even make in a year. That shows how out of touch he is with the rest of us.

Here is what McCain has been focused on:

John McCain called for suspension of the requirement that retirees must begin liquidating their retirement accounts when they reach age 70 and a half, the latest economic policy rolled out by the Republican presidential candidate.

The Arizona senator announced the plan at a rally Friday morning in La Crosse, Wis. Buried a third of the way through his typical stump speech, McCain said his priority was to “protect investors – especially those relying on their investments for retirement.”

This guy is spending more time talking about things that affect 70 year olds, and not those of us who are still under half that age! What about us?

I know we are all investors, and I know we all have to plan for our retirement, but the only reason McCain is bringing this up is because it affects him. Notice he isn't talking about bringing gas prices down, or talking about ending the war in Iraq, just more and more junk about "investors" and "taxes."

Again, he is only addressing this because he is now over 70, and at 72 he sees a reason to change it.

The campaign’s economic policy director, Doug Holtz-Eakin, said the proposal is a temporary suspension. Holtz-Eakin said that when McCain, who is 72 years old, heard about the requirement to begin liquidating assets, he said, “We should stop that right now.”

We need change, not more of the same. But, at this time in his campaign, all McFail can do is intensify his negative ad campaign against Barack Obama and hope for the best.
