McCain Makes Mismanagement Joke


It was kind of interesting that Sen. John McCain chose to open his speech this morning before the National Federation of Independent Business conference with a joke about his campaign’s financial troubles late last year:

I have never run a small, struggling enterprise — unless you count my presidential campaign last year.

I may be over-thinking it, but it’s probably not the best strategy to remind an audience of small business owners — presumably a group of managers — about how his early front-runner campaign almost went into bankruptcy last fall through mismanagement and reckless spending. On the other hand, maybe it taught him a valuable lesson.

Valuable lesson? I have the sinking feeling that if elected, McCain will have the same trait as Bush – hardheadedness. He might admit a mistake – grudgingly – but he won’t completely give in. I certainly do not see him as a president who will listen to the American people FIRST. I don’t think he’s learned much from his last big scandal involving savings & loans. While he should never have said that he was not good at economics (bad move), he shouldn’t attempt any jokes about it either. In fact, he should be very quiet & broad when it comes to economics.
