Biden: McCain, Palin Have Economics Upside Down

Text

Several days before elections, the Democrats are accusing the Republicans for the economic crisis and comparing McCain to Bush.

There are four days left before the presidential elections in the United States and the presidential candidates and their running mates are slinging accusations and attacking each other in an attempt to win over voters at the last minute.

Democrat Joe Biden on Thursday continued to slam the Republicans for the economic crisis, the CNN reported.

- Here the entire economy of America is shrinking, and the oil companies ... one, in fact, made the largest profit in its history in a quarter. Ladies and gentlemen, what more evidence do we need that the Exxon Mobils of the world don't need a tax break? That $4 billion should go to middle class taxpayers, people who need the money – Biden said, adding that John McCain and Sarah Palin have their economic policies “upside down”.

But McCain also criticised the Democrats. In all his enthusiasm, he boasted of not voting for the proposal for millions of dollars should be given to oil companies, while Obama voted for theReuters-.--.-Barack Obama and John McCain proposal.

During the primaries, Obama said that the proposal from 2005 was the only option at that time.

McCain included plumber Joe into his campaign

 

But the Democrats claim that McCain was the only one who wanted to give four million dollars to oil companies such as Exxon.

Also, McCain included in his campaign plumber Joe who became known to the public after the last debate between the two candidates.

People in McCain’s staff even said Joe would join the Republicans during the night of elections. But Joe denied such claims and said this was probably a misunderstanding, adding that nobody had contacted him about it.

Obama, on the other hand, is trying to connect John McCain with President Bush and his fallen politics. During the last debate, McCain told Obama that he was not Bush and that, if he had really wanted to, he could have run against Bush four years ago.
