John McCain

We don't have time for on-the-job training, my friend.

Senator Obama was wrong about Iraq and the surge.

There was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate, loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies. And it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know; that one. You know who voted against…

The new strategy and how Obama is responding

Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers a serious and legitimate questions he's been asked.

To hear him talk now, you would think he had always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. Nothing. Zero. Zippo. Nada.

The Democrats have more money and more resources this year, which is a very new dynamic in presidential politics.

But time is running out for John McCain.

In short, who is the -- who is the real Barack Obama?

My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago, he would quote, 'take off the gloves.' Since then, whenever I've questioned his policies or his record, he's called me a liar.

To hear him talk now you'd think he'd always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions but there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. Nothing, zero, zippo, nada.

What does he plan for America? Who is the real Barack Obama? But, my friends, you ask such questions, and all you get in response is another angry barrage of insults.

Our economy is still hurting. Working families are worried about the price of groceries, the price of gas, keeping their jobs and paying their mortgage. Further action is needed and must be done. We need to restore confidence in our…

You're going to learn a lot about who's the liberal and who's the conservative and who wants to raise your taxes and who wants to lower them.

So as a jobs report that came out today that's terrible news for America. I have to give you straight talk, my friends I can't give you rosy scenarios.

This is a tourniquet. It's not a cure. It's not a cure, it's a tourniquet. It'll stop the bleeding but now we've got to reform the way we do business in Washington and it's got be reformed now.

The action Congress took today is a tourniquet. It's not a permanent solution.

McCain has to break with traditional conservatives and he hasn't done that yet.

I think it is in his profound interest to get this package passed.

John McCain has got to go and make -- he's got five weeks to go out and convince people that he cannot just be commander-in-chief... but if he can be economist in chief and he has a game plan.

John McCain, as a Republican has become a Bush-Wall Street Republican this past week with this economic crisis.

He simply needs more than that. And I don't see how this -- this debate gets the Independents who have gone in a significant way to Barack Obama in the last couple of weeks.

The economy and where they are going to go and where they see those 270 electoral votes coming from.

Barack Obama had not cast a vote in the Senate since July; John McCain had not cast a vote since April. But they both realized right now, the nation is in crisis.
