Many people are saying, “How is John MacCain going to fix our economy?” John MacCain said, "The economic crisis is not the fault of the American people. Our workers are the most innovative, hardest working, best skilled, most competitive in the world. That is the American worker. My opponent may disagree, but those fundamentals of the American worker and their innovation and entrepreneurship, those are the fundamentals of America and I think they're strong. But they are being threatened today, those fundamentals are being threatened because of the greed and corruption that some have engaged in on Wall Street; we have got to fix it." People that are going to vote for MacCain are going to have second thoughts after hearing the nonsense that he said on Monday September, 15.
