This morning President Bush huddled with his economic advisors at the White House. In a brief live statement, the President said that he was working with "The President's Working Group on Financial Markets" to address the deeply distressed economy.

In a Presidential debate earlier in the year, the GOP candidates were given the chance to ask each other questions. Ron Paul asked John McCain if he would use "The President's Working Group on Financial Markets?" Or would he disband it? Would he make it's meetings more open if he kept it?

Eyes rolled back on the stage - eyelids dropped at home. Who runs for President asking questions like that?!

John McCain had no idea what to say. He stammered and stuttered, obviously not really knowing what the heck "The President's Working Group on Financial Markets" really is. He finally came out with an answer that proved his admitted lack of understanding on economic matters. But nobody cared (and McCain knew it) because who in the world is worried about some obscure committee that nobody has even heard of?

As of this morning, that obscure committee is being called on to save your economy.
