No matter how hard John McCain tries, he can't break free from the Bush economy. Even yesterday McCain praised Bush for the drop in oil prices, despite a lack of any link.

Maybe McCain is simply confused again and thinks it's 2004. Either way, McCain is in trouble with the economy because not only is he deeply tied to the policies that brought us here via Gramm-O-Nomics but he admits that he knows nothing about economics. Well, except that he is reading Greenspan's book, as if that's comforting.
