Yeah Phil, you know the economy is just freaking peachy when you're reduced to getting gas for your car one gallon at a time.
"Well, you know, America already has one Dr. Phil. When it comes to the economy, we don't need another."
-- Sen. Barack Obama, quoted by Politico, on comments made by McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm that the economy was in a "mental recession" and we are "a nation of whiners."
Meanwhile, in an interview with the Washington Post, Gramm said he stands by his remarks: "I'm not going to retract any of it. Every word I said was true."
