........And Yes, He Made Another "G" Word Again.................

Just imagine if Obama had made these mistakes. They would say everywhere, "He's not ready to be president, this is what happens when you are too young," and any other disparaging remark (though he would deserve it if he actually made these kinds of horrible errors consistently , but he doesn't).

Instead, it's McFool once again today. He is just addicted to making himself look more idiotic each day than the idea of remaking "Get Smart" into a movie this past summer (with no offense to the great Steve Carell, but that was a movie that just didn't work). Maybe his plan is to be dumber than Bush in order to have more people vote for him. Because quite frankly, I would hope for his sorry sake that he is actually playing the constant wave of stupidity in order to get those "independents" in Ohio. Sadly though, I don't think that is the case.

John McCain said he would fire Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox and accused government regulators of being ``asleep at the switch'' during market turmoil.

``The chairman of the SEC serves at the appointment of the president, and in my view has betrayed the public's trust,'' the Republican presidential nominee said at a rally today in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. ``If I were president today, I would fire him.''

But Senator..........

But while the president nominates and the Senate confirms the SEC chair, a commissioner of an independent regulatory commission cannot be removed by the president.

And look how this disaster of a campaign tries and spins the wheel for the trillionth time in their hideous tour of the country they helped break down in the poor economic state it is in now.

Asked how McCain would fire Cox if the president does not have the formal power to fire the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the McCain campaign pointed to former SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt, who resigned in 2002 when it was made clear to him that he had lost the confidence of the Bush administration.

"Not only is there historical precedent for SEC chairs to be removed, the president of the United States always reserves the right to request the resignation of an appointee, and maintain the customary expectation that it will be delivered," said McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds.

And how not at all in the least bit happy with McCain calling his name out was Cox?

“While I have great respect for Sen. McCain, we have sometimes disagreed, and this is one such occasion," Cox said in a statement. "The SEC has made plain that we have zero tolerance for naked short selling. In this market crisis, the men and women of the SEC have responded valiantly, as they always do –- with the utmost dedication and professionalism."

And to top it all off, because we have to have this one as a separate thread itself, you couldn't get any more petty than this:

Campaigning together in Iowa today, McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin accused the Obama campaign of taking political advantage of the recent economic crisis.

"My opponent sees an economic crisis as a political opportunity instead of an opportunity to lead," McCain said.

Palin said, of Obama, “He likes to point the finger of blame, but does he ever lift a finger to help?”

But hey, that is the routine behavior when you are the worst political campaign, ticket, and team in the history of this country. Routine.
