I'm not playing this little game with you yet again.

And you clearly indicated that you expect your president to understand the economy. So, let's apply your indications of what you find important to this presidential contest. What makes you believe that John McCain is qualified to be president based on his understanding of economics?

This "little game" that you refuse to play is the "little game" where you are asked to actually make a point in order to end your bigger game of talking without saying anything.

This is also ironic, given that Tex indicated several times he was luke warm on Romney. I disagree that Romney is the only candidate running for office who understands the economy, but I am certain he understands it far better than McCain does, and I am certain Obama understands it more than McCain.

The little game consists of you claiming he's making an argument he isn't actually making which then leads to some endless back and forth between the two of you.

He said an understanding of economics was important to him in a president. That is what he said. I am asking for a practical application of that statement here. His silence, and your amusing commentary, speak volumes. McCain doesn't understand economics. We can all agree, even if you two can't bring yourselves to say it.

Can you admit that Romney understands the economy better than Obama?

I would say there is a good possibility, though I can't know for sure. With McCain, I think we definitely know for sure, as McCain has clearly indicated he has zero knowledge of economics.

I shouldn't entertain Cali's irrelevant hijack, but in the interested of clarity ...

For the fair-minded here, what McCain said was, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should," to the Boston Globe, and "I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated," to the Wall Street Journal.

That's a little different than admitting "zero knowledge of economics" though Cali is known to have reading comprehension problems.

It's a good possibility?

Obama has never had a real job. How is it just a possibility?

You really have Obama fever, don't you?
