WASHINGTON – Republican John McCain called on Tuesday for a high-level commission to tackle America’s economic crisis, moving to blunt criticism from Democrat Barack Obama who says his opponent is out of touch and unfit to deal with one of the most serious financial meltdowns to hit the United States since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Despite ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans voiced far deeper concern about the economy as an election year issue even before two giant investment firms collapsed and the stock market plunged Monday by a margin not seen since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Both candidates were grasping for advantage in the economic turmoil, with McCain vowing to wipe out “greed and corruption” on Wall Street while Obama declared his opponent would deliver only a continuation of President George W. Bush’s economic policies that have been blamed for the economic crisis.

To some people there is lot more wrong with John McCain then his credentials to improve continual US Economic vows. I’m not sure if this is the way to move forward?
