If McCain had been elected instead of Obama, today’s news
might look something like this…
“September 28, 2012
It’s been a tough week for President John McCain as polls
show him trailing his Democratic challenger by a substantial margin.
The McCain campaign
has suffered from a long series of bad news on the job front. Last month’s
figures show unemployment at 10.8%- virtually unchanged since late last year.
Critics say two rounds of stimulus in the form of business tax amnesties failed
to create jobs due to depressed consumer spending. One business owner in the Chicago
suburb of Wheaton said, “It’s great not to pay taxes, but nobody’s buying
anything. Everyone’s holding onto their money and waiting to see what happens. Why
hire someone when no business comes through your door?”
McCain ran on his national security credentials, but lack
of success in the hunt for Osama bin Laden has also hampered the McCain
campaign’s attempt to gain traction. “We are working with our allies in
Pakistan and elsewhere to find and bring bin Laden to justice.” said President
McCain.
Democrats have hammered President McCain for failure to
pass meaningful health care reform. The Great Recession has accelerated the
trend of employers refusing to offer health care to workers and the unemployed
have greatly reduced access to routine medical care. Critics say that health
care costs continue to rise as a result of emergency care taking the place of
primary care and this can only be addressed by comprehensive medical reform. “I
have spoken to the heads of the six largest insurance companies in the country
and they have assured me they are doing everything they can do to expand access
to and bring down the costs of medical care.” said McCain.
Former Vice-President Sarah Palin, who is on location for
her FOX reality show, “When Mama Grizzlies Attack”, could not be reached for
comment.”
