Then Quotes Barack Obama Saying McCain is Scared to Talk About the Economy


"Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?"

At which point McCain launched into the amazing speech quoted by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, during which he laid out the case, at great length, for the Democrats’ responsibility for the mortgage crisis.

Does the L.A. Times report one word of that? No. Instead, they cut the quote of McCain’s speech short there, right before he talks about the economy, and proceed to quote Obama as claiming that McCain is scared to talk about the economy:

Speaking with reporters in Asheville, N.C., where he is studying for Tuesday’s debate, which is to focus on the economy and domestic issues, Obama pointed to recent reports that the McCain camp wanted to get away from economic issues, a topic that polls show benefits the Democrats.

Thanks Merrie, great stuff

It's hard to win when McCain has to fight the left and MSM who openly support the chosen one.
