Phil Gramm Back and Again Dissing Us as 'Whiners'
Did anyone truly believe that Phil Gramm was out of the McCain campaign for more than a millisecond? Well, he's baaack.
Speaking to a group of McCain supporters at the RNC, he said the following, basically suggesting that anyone who doesn't support McCain is a whiner and economically illiterate.
"If you're sitting here today, you're not economically illiterate and you're not a whiner, so I'm not worried about who you're going to vote for,'' Gramm said.
Here's the Obama campaign's response:
"Today, the man who wrote John McCain's economic plan further insulted struggling Americans by suggesting that if they are not attending the Republican Convention, they are not only whiners, but economically illiterate," said Obama's cub spokesman Tommy Vietor. "From the campaign whose candidate has said that we've made 'great progress' economically under George Bush and believes that the fundamentals of our economy are 'strong', that's pretty rich."

Obama: 'America Already Has One Dr. Phil'
Here's Obama on Phil Gramm's loopy assertion that America is a "nation of whiners" because people are so concerned with their economic position after 8 years of Bush and McCain's disastrous economic policies.
Money Quote: "When people are out there losing their homes and property values are declining, that isn't a figment of your imagination. It isn't whining to ask government to step in and give families some relief."

Phil Gramm: America "a Nation of Whiners"
One wonders if the media will give this shocking statement by Phil Gramm, McCain's chief economic adviser, the same wall-to-wall coverage they gave to the fake umbrage that swirled around Gen. Wesley Clark's recent comments:
"We may have a recession; we haven't had one yet. We have sort of become a nation of whiners," he said. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline" despite a major export boom that is the primary reason that growth continues in the economy, he said.
Hmm, are we a nation of whiners or are millions of Americans outraged at the dire financial straits they are in after 8 years of Bush and McCain's economic policies? I'll go with the latter.
Don't forget, McCain said back in April, when referring to the economy and gas prices, that “a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological.”:
