John McCain, Economic Disaster; Pass it On

Posted:
09/30/08
For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, John McCain might seem to be some kind of economic whiz kid who just can't get Warshington to bend to his superior judgment and pass some gosh-darn regulations. Although recent polls suggest that more and more Americans are getting the message, Brave New Films has put together a nice little reminder that McCain is a self-assessed novice on the economy, and a forceful opponent of government regulation of businesses.

The film cuts together pre- and post-crisis footage of McCain, and the contrast is stark. You would think McCain would try to smooth out the turbulence of his pivot somewhat, knowing that, in the age of Youtube, at least some kind of segue is in order.

The filmmaker, Robert Greenwald, will be my guest Thursday at 10pm on Unusable Signal, so you'll have a chance to ask him about the film yourselves.

Tommy Christopher co-hosts "Unusable Signal",on BlogTalkRadio, Tues through Thurs at 10pm, and Fri, and Sat at 11pm. (Eastern) Click here for the Unusable Signal homepage.
