Obama Strikes Back Against McCain's Weak Economic Record.

Barack Obama gave a forceful speech in Colorado today as the Wall Street markets were melting down, he pointed to McCain's positions on regulations and the economy to show a clear difference between himself and the GOP nominee.

“On just about every economic issue, there is not a dime’s worth of difference between John McCain’s proposals and what we have right now. In 19 months, he has not named one thing he would do differently from this administration on the central issue of this election. Not one thing,” Obama said. “So when you walk into that voting booth in 50 days, ask yourself: Can your family afford to take a chance on an economic policy that offers $200 billion in tax breaks to the biggest corporations, including the oil companies, but not one penny of relief to more than 100 million Americans? Because that’s what Sen. McCain is offering.”

Great stuff, especially against the background of the Wall Street meltdown!
