“That One”
October 8, 2008
How about John McCain start focusing on THIS one?!!!
An American worker watches her retirement investments vanish as the Dow Jones Industrials plunge nearly 778 points on September 29, 2008.
When the Dow Jones Industrials plunged nearly 778 points on September 29, 2008, many believed the financial markets had hit their bottom. Many were hopeful that the “bailout,” or “rescue” package which was finally reskinned and signed into law would begin to turn our financial crisis around. Since then, the Dow has lost over another 800 points, and markets worldwide are plunging to greater and greater depths.
Against this backdrop of financial turmoil, while people are seeing their retirement investments and education investments for their children dissipate, Republican presidential candidate John McCain, with outrageous audacity and sheer disrespect, flippantly referred to his Democratic opponent Barack Obama as “that one” during the October 7, 2008 presidential debate.
It is that very attitude of disregard, disrespect, and overwhelming hubris that has defined the Republican administration for the past 8 years. John McCain, with that one insulting, childish, mean-spirited, and quite revealing remark, has sealed his place as a representative of ALL that is and has been wrong with our government for a long, long time.
