UPDATE: I see Brandozilla posted this ad earlier and had some similar questions.

This time its economics:

First of all, does this even make sense? Do presidents get calls at 3 AM about the economy? And what does it have to do with your children sleeping? And John McCain would just "let the phone keep ringing?" What does that even mean? Hillary surely knows that presidents don't actually answer the White House phones, right?

Then there is the meaningless jab at McCain about not taking any meaningful action. Which typical of the Dems, is not true. He simply said that he would not rush to offer a bailout that rewarded people who made bad economic decisions but do what he thought was best for the economic system as a whole. How crazy is that?! McCain wants to thoughtfully consider reform rather than simply jump on some hot button issue to score political points. What an amateur.

Hillary in contrast wants you to believe that economic catastrophe is headed our way and if she isn't in charge everything will be ruined. In reality she is simply returning to a big government liberalism where any time something bad happens the government rushes in to throw money around and make matters worse. Who cares if bailing out homeowners and freezing interest rates prolongs the problem, distorts the market, and gets government involved in buying and selling houses? If that's what it takes to get votes in blue collar areas, she will gladly deal with the fallout later.

She acts as if her pandering to every group she can think of is somehow courageous and proof of her experience. This from a person who admitted she doesn't understand a thing Alan Greenspan says. Who opposed just about every centrist move her husband made to keep the markets happy (balancing the budget, welfare reform, claims to have been opposed to NAFTA, etc.).

The last thing the economy needs is Hillary in the White House attempting to "manage" it.
