Hillary couldn't be more spot-on
I'm still in the Obama camp, but Hillary's recent comments about Republicans and the economy really hit the mark. Sad, but oh so true.
A day after John McCain's high-profile economic speech in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton said Wednesday the presumptive GOP nominee “has very little understanding” of the national debt to China.
“Yesterday, he made it clear that when it comes to the economy he looks at the hole President Bush has dug us into and says, ‘Why not more? Let’s go deeper,’” Clinton said in remarks to the Building and Trades National Legislative Conference in Washington.
Accusing China of steel dumping, exporting tainted toys and currency manipulation, Clinton blasted Republicans for accommodating growing Chinese influence.
She said she remembered her brothers pretending to dig a hole to China in their family backyard.
“Little did I believe, all these years later, that we would have the Republican Party and president and a Republican nominee who are literally digging us a hole to China,” she said.
Clinton said McCain “has very little understanding of how we are going to get our selves out of that hole” and issued a familiar attack against his economic credentials.
“I know that many people will be very impressed and admiring of Sen. McCain’s record of service,” she said, “but he’s admitted he doesn’t understand the economy. He has proved that in this campaign.”
Sadly, way too many people are just now fully realizing that there are two things you absolutely cannot trust the new conservatives with: your money and your military.

Not that I disagree, but... she doesn't really mean literally though, right?
If she does then maybe we're in bigger trouble than I thought. I'm not sure what the GOP would get out of an actual hole to China. Faster shipping of cheap consumer goods? Ha!
