Here’s what Team Obama had to say about last night’s RNCC speeches.
“At a time when millions of Americans are struggling like never before to pay their mortgage, their medical bills, and their gas bills, tonight’s speakers at John McCain’s Republican convention proved how out of touch their candidate is by saying not one word about his plans to put our economy back on track and provide real relief to middle-class families. Apparently, John McCain’s belief that we’ve made ‘great progress’ economically over the last eight years means he doesn’t have to offer any plans at all to fix our ailing economy,” said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.
Um, the economy wasn’t discussed because yesterday’s RNCC theme was “Country First.” The point was to discuss and celebrate military and other forms of service to America. Duh.
