Barack Obama slams McCain's Economic Plan, calling it an "endorsement of George W. Bush's policies" during a speech in Raleigh, NC on June 8, 2008.

"But when it comes to the economy, John McCain and I have a fundamentally different vision of where to take the country. Because for all his talk of independence, the centerpiece of his economic plan amounts to a full-throated endorsement of George Bush's policies. He says we've made "great progress" in our economy these past eight years. He calls himself a fiscal conservative and on the campaign trail he's passionate critic of government spending, and yet he has no problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for big corporations and a permanent occupation of Iraq -- policies that have left our children with a mountain of debt."

7. Looking forward to the first debate, too!

Seeing Obama and McCain, side by side will highlight the sharp contrasts between the two and accentuate McCain's flaws.

I don't think the first debate is yet scheduled.
