During the Analysis of Shields and Brooks on the PBS News Hour last night, conservative NY Times columnist David Brooks described both the Republican and Democratic campaign responses to the Wall Street meltdown as “moronic.”
Posting yesterday afternoon at Political Intel (Boston Globe) Foon Rhee captures well a few of the most moronic exchanges between Obama and McCain during a week of turmoil and growing fears about the nation’s economy.
Rhee’s post titled Full Crisis Mode begins with a video of a recent Obama ad in which “Democrats are trying to draw a contrast between what they call Barack Obama's nonpartisan, level-headed response to the Wall Street crisis and John McCain's partisan, hot-headed reaction.”
Rhee notes:
“The video, however, leaves out that Obama's speeches this week where he has aggressively gone after McCain on his record supporting deregulation, has called him out of touch for saying that the "fundamentals" of the economy are strong, and just today assailed him on Social Security.”
