Senator McCain is giving a Straight Talk speech today in Cali, where he is likely to say someting like the following:
"The net result is the crisis we face," McCain will tell the group. "What started as a problem in subprime loans has now convulsed the entire financial system."
And this is news to him? It's not to the rest of us.
Contrast this with the following statement he made on Monday:
"We're succeeding. I don't care what anybody says. I've seen the facts on the ground"
Wow. Anybody else a little scared? I mean first he tell us that we're doing fine in Iraq in spite of the rising body count and then he tells us we're in a "crisis" (I think the word he's searching for is recession). Boy this man has his finger on the pulse of... some alien somwhere.

Is it just me, or does John McCain scare the shit out of anyone else?

Wait a minute, here. Let me qoute you directly.
"Wow. Anybody else a little scared? I mean first he tell us that we're doing fine in Iraq in spite of the rising body count and then he tells us we're in a "crisis""
The crisis refers to the financial aspect of things, which is wholly seperate from the WoT. I don't think you can fairly criticize him for not calling an apple an orange...

Both point to his overll cluelessness. Financially we've gone way past crisis and we're anything but doing fine in Iraq. Better perhaps depending on your metric, but not fine.
