Anybody see Austan Goolsbee, Obama's economic advisor, just now on CNN? He was very impressive.

3. Yeah!! It was. I think itwas something like "there was more information on a Fruit Loops box ...

than McCain's entire plan to solve the financial crisis."

2. I loved the Fruit Loops comment. The guy who believes McCain invented the internet said that McCain

had laid out a detailed plan for how to deal with the crisis. Austin said it wasn't detailed. It was 10 lines. It was literally less detailed then the back of a Fruit Loops box.

6. Goolsbee did well....

what I cannot stand is Wolfie always gives McCain a pass for his "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" statement, explaining way the statement per McCain's later explanation. It is obvious that McCain screwed up and had to find some explanation for his incredibly stupid statement. By the way, later that day McCain actually said that the fundamentals are bad...haha...of course the media (except for Jon Stewart) ignore this flip flop.

7. Actually I think Wolfie was being sarcastic in giving McCain's "explanation"...

Like this it how McCain is desperately spinning it.

8. This Guy...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austan_Goolsbee

Team Obama economic advisor, world class debater, in fact he once coached the MIT debate team.

He's one of the best debaters on the planet. He should "own" most on the surrogate circuit.

It's just another example of Team Obama attracting the best and the brightest.
