ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 5 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the jobs report:



"Americans are hurting and we must act to create jobs. Unfortunately, while millions of Americans are gathering around the kitchen table and questioning how they can keep their homes, pay their medical bills and afford their children's education, Washington has failed to act. As I promised last night, I will fight for those that lost their jobs, savings, and real estate investments. Some Americans have been left behind in the changing economy, and it often seems your government hasn't even noticed. We must prepare every worker for the jobs of tomorrow. We will use our community colleges to help train people for new opportunities in their communities. As President, I will enact a Jobs for America economic plan that creates jobs, helps small businesses, expands opportunities and opens markets to American goods. Washington must stand beside the American people, not in their way.

"Sadly there are those who believe that to grow this economy we must raise taxes, impose costly new mandates and isolate America from the global economy. When our economy is hurting, the last thing we should do is raise taxes as Barack Obama plans to do and has done. The American people cannot afford a Barack Obama presidency."

"gathering around the kitchen table". He makes me sick.

7. No fresh ideas. He reminds me of the kids I used to teach
who when they weren't paying attention and I would call on them would say "I agree with him." In fact McCain/Palin = middle school dropouts.

3. read in the opposite of what he says
he means "bet sales of Bud will really go up. People like to get drunk when they lose their job."

5. Funny I didn't hear anything nor read anything about McSame's laying out how he and the Wolf killer
were going to 'help' the American people.
