And Obama does??! That's not your implication, is it?
I doubt if the man could balance a checkbook. An economist he ain't.
McCain clearly is out of his depth on this issue and just hasnt a clue how to respond.

McCain, right or wrong, has the burden of demonstrating that Obama will be worse for the economy than he would be.
No, Obama hasn’t a clue either.
But the way elections work, the team who was on the watch when something like this occurs gets thrown out.
McCain is now fighting a huge headwind, and because he has no natural ability to talk finance or money, he’s going to be crushed as a result of people’s anger at the fact that a Republican (a very incompetent Republican) was in the White House when the market went down this hard.
McCain would need to have some financial brilliance of his own to shine above Obama and give people confidence that “he has a plan, he has experience, he can make it work.” McCain would do well to talk about who he has in mind for SecTreas - right now. But I’ll bet he has no clue who he wants, or what he wants.
The last thing we need now is an economist. What we need is someone like Romney - a business leader with a successful track record - stepping up and saying “OK, I’ve been talking to a number of business leaders, and this is what we’re going to do...”
