Help? There's no problem with the economy is there? Eight years of Bush mismanagement is to be followed by four years of McCain mismanagement? As his campaign advisor and Treasury Secretary pick Phil Gramm says: "This is a mental recession..."

Frank from Mill Valley; What make of car do you drive? If it is made in the US by the Three US automakers you have a say in this. If not butt out!

We need to help the US auto industry; like Reagan did with Harley Motorcycles, place a tariff on all foreign cars even if they are made in the US. Plus all foreign car owners pay a extra DMV Tax on their cars. The money goes to help the autoworkers pension and health insurance plans.

He won't be able to do much as the pres.(without congress) does not have the authority to do anything about problems with corportations.
This is largely political bull that a politician spews out durring election time.
Both him and Obama will be doing this stuff until November. It is part of the campaign process. UNFORTUNATELY.
Because such statements do fool lots of voter who do not bother to know better.:)

McCain jumps on the Obama wagon again.

Overstaffed, who are the "three US automakers"?

Let's see if you can name them.
It's not a simple question, I know.
