McCain remarks - as prepared - for town hall meeting in Portsmouth
“Before I take your questions, I want to begin by talking about the issue in this campaign that Americans worry the most about - the American economy.
All of us know what is happening to the economy. It is slowing. More than 400,000 people have lost their jobs since December, and the rate of new job creation has fallen sharply. Americans are worried about the security of their current job, and they’re worried that they, their kids and their neighbors may not find good jobs and new opportunities in the future. To make matters worse, gas is over $4 a gallon and the price of oil has almost doubled in the last year. The cost of everything from energy to food is rising.
I have a plan to grow this economy, create more and better jobs, and get America moving again. I have a plan to reform government, achieve energy security, and ensure that healthcare is available and affordable for all. I believe the role of government is to unleash the creativity, ingenuity and hard work of the American people, and make it easier to create jobs.

“I have a plan to grow this economy, create more and better jobs, and get America moving again. I have a plan to reform government, achieve energy security, and ensure that healthcare is available and affordable for all” (McBush) So, this guy is a leader? How long has he beenin the Senate, 21 years? How long has he been one of the leaders of his party? What rock was he hiding under for the past eight years? If he has all these “plans” (the plan for the economy, if you can call it that, is laughed at by every reputable economist in the country)(and his plan for Iraq is just to stay the course, wonder where he heard that.)why hasn’t he “Led” his party over the past 21 years to actually do things that would have stopped the current mess our country is in, from happening? Amazing, the man is 72 years old and just last week he thought of a “plan”. I guess that is because someone told him that he really should have a “plan”. It would have never occured to him on his own.
