Pearls of wisdom from Caribou Barbie

Do the people listening to her understand her or is she just a prop and it doesn't matter what comes out of her mouth? She makes Bush look like a great orator.

Introducing John McCain yesterday - see if it makes any more sense to you than it does to me:

Times are tough right now across our country. And Americans are facing kind of a elements of a perfect storm that we've got to make sure don't all come together at this time. High taxes - that's one of the elements that can result in a perfect storm that will not be good for the future of America. High gas prices. Dependence on energy sources from foreign sources. Foreign sources that don't necessarily like America - they certainly don't have our best interests at heart.


We've got too little courage in Washington. That's another one of these elements if all put together at the same time will not be good for America. And then too much greed on Wall Street. Excess on Wall Street. And kind of that status quo politics as usual acceptance of what's been going on Wall Street.


It was John McCain two years ago. He started warning everybody. Fannie and Freddie have got to be shored up, there have got to be changes in those organizations or you are going to see what exactly is happening today. He warned - he had that foresight. He's got some great foresight on a whole lot of other fronts also - the war in Iraq and so many other things affecting America and our future.
