MEMORANDUM

A Day Late and a Dollar Short:

Unfair reference to Senator McCain’s plan to add trillions to the national debt through implementing flawed policies like making permanent the Bush tax cuts, creating additional tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest of Americans and continuing the war in Iraq. Unlike Barack Obama John McCain has not outlined a concrete way to pay for his plans, and instead has relied on gimmicks and tag lines which do not reflect the type of serious decision-making that the next president will need to make on our long-term fiscal situation.

Memorandum from the McCain Campaign

America: Yours, Mine and Ours - Pt. 1

Part One: Yours, Mine...

One of the things I hoped for when Michelle Obama spoke at the Democratic convention, was that she would introduce people to the America that she came from, and that was the setting of her story. One of the biggest shames in the campaign - aside from the fact that political realities required this intelligent, accomplished woman to effectively bite her tongue for the last couple of months - is the lack of any honest discussion about the reality that we don't all live in the same America. It's one reality that both progressives and conservatives must grapple with between now and November, and beyond

Delivered on a night that carried the theme "One America," her speech should serve as a reminder that if we are to be America, we have to first acknowledge that what we have are three America's: yours, mine, and ours.
