Obama mocks McCain’s offer of a $300 million prize

The McCain campaign continues to make blunders. McCain’s recent proposal to offer a $300 million prize for new battery technology is another gem from this inept campaign. Obama hits the softball out of the park.

“When John F. Kennedy decided that we were going to put a man on the moon, he didn’t put a bounty out for some rocket scientist to win — he put the full resources of the United States government behind the project and called on the ingenuity and innovation of the American people — not just in the private sector but also in the public sector.”

McCain’s biggest problem

John McCain has a long career in the Senate, and he’s taken strong positions on many different issues. His problem, however, is that he can’t seem to remember them. His latest gaffe involves his position on Social Security. Yesterday he denied ever being in favor of private accounts. Of course, that’s not true. He clearly expressed support for privatization back in 2004.

Another lobbyist connection for the McCain campaign

The McCain campaign has lost numerous advisors who turned out to be lobbyists for foreign government and various corporations. Now it appears that Phil Graham, McCain’s economics advisor, was a lobbyist for Swiss bank UBS at the same time he was advising McCain on how to deal with the mortgage crisis. UBS has serious exposure in the area. Now it looks like McCain has some exposure as well.
