Obama goes after McCain on retirement funds

Ending Friday on a positive note by receiving the endorsement of Donald Trump, McCain was under fire on Saturday by Barack Obama. The democratic candidate accused McCain of gambling the retirement savings and health care of Americans by "subjecting them to the uncertainty of open markets" (Reuters). McCain campaign rebuked this attack by saying Obama is attempting to use scare tactics to make people worry about their retirement accounts. The McCain and Obama campaign have gone after each other on the key issues of social security and the economy in an attempt to show the American people who has the stronger economic plan for the U.S. Health care and the economy are generally considered the most imporant issues in this election. The candidate with a more favorable approach to turn around the economy and improve the health care, will inevitably win the hearts and minds of the American people.
