"Main Street America"
What is this phrase I just heard in the debate last night by John McCain? I'm sure it's been thrown around before this; I just haven't noticed it.
Has the phrase "the middle class" become derogatory or is it easier to consider "main street America" than the lowly "middle class" America? Is there an attempt here to seem fresh and hip by coining a new phrase?
As for the debate, in my mind Obama beat McCain. I may be biased because I've agreed with Obama on many issues as opposed to McCain. I've always like what Obama has said about the so-called war on terrorism.
I guess there are terrorists in many countries so we can just randomly select which one to invade at any given time. Was this what George W thought when he invaded Iraq on the coatstrings of 9/11? What was his agenda for invading Iraq? He obviously didn't care to find Bin Laden; that was just an excuse to appease the American people's desire for revenge for the events of 9/11. Otherwise he would have committed more to hunting down Al-Qaeda and not devoted the majority of military resources to Iraq, promoting the growth of this terrorist organization in our so-called allied country Pakistan and elsewhere.
I wonder if McCain will address some of the domestic issues as president or if he'll continue in the tradition of the current administration and pretend all is well in America.

When you hear "Main St." in relation to the current economic crisis, it has to do with retail, buying and selling.....which suffers when the stock market is in crises. You'll hear economists using the term, too. The credit crisis now going on affects "Main St. America."
