McCain: I Didn't Say That! I Didn't, I Didn't, I DIDN'T!
Man, it's not even lunch time, and we have an embarrassment of riches. Heeeeeere's Johnny again.
On ABC this morning, Robin Roberts remarked to McCain: "You have admitted that you are not exactly the expert when it comes to the economy and many have said that... "
McCain interjected, "I have not. I have not. Actually, I have not."
While McCain has never said that he wasn't an "expert" on the economy, he has acknowledged that it is a shortcoming -- which was at the heart of Roberts' question ("not exactly the expert").
"The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” McCain said in December 2007. “I’ve got Greenspan’s book.”
And here's what he told the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore in 2005: “I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”
I have a education suggestion for Mr McCain: live in the real world for awhile. Not a POW camp but not an ivory tower either. Those seem to be the only two things you have experienced & most of life is not at either extreme. It would help you to know that.
