Risk Professional: McCain plays bizarre terrorism card
Senator John McCain's performance in the second of three televised debates with arch rival Barrack Obama (who is also a senator but for some reason his name never seems to carry the prefix) was surprising for his tactic of throwing mud at the wall to see how much stuck. And his links to terrorism were nothing more than insults.
McCain:"Do you know that we've laid a $10 [billion] debt on these young Americans who are here with us tonight, $500 [milliard] of it we owe to China? I know how to fix this economy, and eliminate our dependence on foreign oil, and stop sending $700 [milliard] a year overseas.... My friends, some of this $700 [milliard] ends up in the hands of terrorist organizations."
And how will he do this? "We can work on nuclear power plants. Build a whole bunch of them, create millions of new jobs."
But he was not the only one with plans to keep money at home with an energy independence plan:
Obama: "We are going to have to deal with energy because we can't keep on borrowing from the Chinese and sending money to Saudi Arabia."
