John McCain And Economics

Here is a doozy from Republican nominee for President Of The United States when questioned about economics during an interview with the Boston Globe:

"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should. I've got Greenspan's book."

Very reassuring for a presidential hopeful. I suppose the President doesn't need to know much about economics seeing how the US economy is doing so well!

Barack Obama With A Little Geography Lesson!

Seems the Democratic nominee is not immune to foot-in-the-mouthitis. At a campaign stop in Beaverton, Iowa Mr. Obama uttered this wondeful quote:

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go."

I wasn't the greatest geography and history student but come on, a presidential hopeful really needs to know how many states our country has!

Mr. Gore

Al Gore with another case of selective memory:

When addressing a labor union, Gore recalled that when he was young his mother would sing him the labor union song. That is a great memory except the song was written when he was 27!

Al Gore

Mr Gore has been known to embellish just a tad bit. Here is a good one:

Speaking on CNN Late Edition Al says "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet".

Oops, the internet, then known as ARPANET was created in 1969, 8 years before almighty Al was inducted into the US Congress. Shall we induct him? Not yet, I have more on the way that will cement his hall of fame status!
