Barack just finished hosting an event in Grand Junction, Colorado. During his speech, Barack addressed the remark that John McCain made earlier about the 'strong' fundamentals of our economy.
It’s not that I think John McCain doesn’t care what’s going on in the lives of most Americans. I just think doesn’t know. He doesn’t get what’s happening between the mountain in Sedona where he lives and the corridors of Washington where he works. Why else would he say that we’ve made great progress economically under George Bush? Why else would he say that the economy isn’t something he understands as well as he should? Why else would he say, today, of all days – just a few hours ago – that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong? Senator – what economy are you talking about? What’s more fundamental than the ability to find a job that pays the bills and can raise a family? What’s more fundamental than knowing that your life savings is secure, and that you can retire with dignity? What’s more fundamental than knowing that you’ll have a roof over your head at the end of the day? What’s more fundamental than that? The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great – that promise that America is the place where you can make it if you try – a promise that is the only reason that we are standing here today.
Barack understands what's going on and has a plan to jumpstart the economy, provide middle class Americans tax relief, support small business and create new jobs. He will work to help struggling Americans reclaim the American Dream.

This would be a great anti-McCain attack ad, but it's actually just an ad from George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign: John McCain praising George W. Bush to an absurd degree, arguing strongly for his (re)-election. Was John McCain's judgment right?
