Obama spokesman Bill Burton seizes on Phil Gramm's comments pooh-poohing concerns over the economy::
“One of Senator McCain’s top economic advisors may think that when people are struggling with lost jobs, stagnant wages, and the rising costs of everything from gas to groceries, it’s merely a ‘mental recession’. And Senator McCain may think it’s sufficient to offer energy proposals that he admits will have mainly ‘psychological’ benefits. But the American people know that our economic problems aren’t just in their heads. They don’t need psychological relief – they need real relief – and that’s what Barack Obama will provide as President."
McCain didn't address the comments at the start of his town hall in suburban Detroit, but, as he has all week, he did use his opening remarks to lament the country's economic woes.
The McCain campaign hasn't said anything yet about Gramm's observations, either.
UPDATE: See post above; McCain's camp is disavowing.
