The Wall Street Journal (and Wall Street itself) is very pro-Republican. Its obvious to most Americans that John McCain doesn't have a grasp of the economy, he has even admited it before, but for the Wall Street Journal to call him up on it is huge.

 It's more John McCain doesn't have a truley republican look on the Economy.  They like Obama more because he's a free trade no tariffs on anything guy.

McCain is for free trade, Obama wants to revise NAFTA to make other countries more responsiable for labor and environmental concers.

 

Which doesn't help Americans at all.  John McCain on the otherhand has actual plans to help those who lose jobs due to freetrade.

What plans does McCain have?

Obama plan helps Americans because we are less competitive to other countries that abuse their labor force.  An American worker just cant compete 'price wise' with child labor in Asia.  Also, American factories have trouble competing with foriegn factories that have little to no pollution restrictions.  The only way to balance this out is to make other countries more responsible in how they treat their labor force and the environment (and I'm not talking about global warming).

There is no way to force anyone to actually follow any restrictions you place, since Obama and most presidents wouldn't ahve the courage to actually pull out of said agreements.

Obama's plans are all talk in this regard.

McCain's plans involve retraining and creating more jobs, in the actual places that need them.   Not Obama's plans that mostly help states like Illnois already well covered with unneeded wasteful subsidaries.
