Stocks Fall Even Farther - Mental Recession?
Phil Grammnesty Playing the Fool He Is
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- July 10
Dobbs: Senator McCain tonight on the defensive; one of his top advisers called America the nation of whiners. The McCain adviser, a former senator by the name of Phil Gramm, also declared Americans who complain about a worsening economy are suffering from what he called a mental recession. Senator Obama seized on those remarks and attacked McCain and his policies. Obama, perhaps welcoming a distraction from his own problems, told voters this economic downturn is not in your head.
Dana Bash - CNN: Well, Lou, when I first called the McCain adviser about Phil Gramm's comments, there was an audible, beleaguered sigh on the other end of the phone. McCain aides knew right away this hurt their efforts and message control In hard-hit Michigan, this is McCain mantra on the economy.
McCain: People are hurting. People are hurting very badly.
Bash: A carefully measured message that's part feel your pain, part realist but all optimist.
McCain: But they need to have trust and hope and confidence in the future.
