For a man to say he doesn't understand the economy to turn around and then deny he ever said it isn't just a flip-flop - it's an outright lie. Further, my issue with John McCain's flip-flops stems primarily from his continued use of the "Straight Talk Express" shtick, despite the fact that we're getting anything but "Straight Talk" from him.

But now that he said that he is open to change, you call him a flip-flopper. In other words, there is nothing that Obama could do that would have satisfied you. McCain on the other hand, does it without prompting. In fact, he's changed his mind so many times about the economy, he can't even remember what he said. FP,

Just watch... His promise to be out of Iraq in 16 months was unrealistic and he knew it, but he still made the promise. (Does that count as a lie?) I wonder why he made that unrealistic promise? Oh, yes, that is right. To get selected. You mean like the one Obama is about to make about Iraq and troop withdrawal? Just watch…
