Every question is delivered in a way that provides an easy escape. Obama really has his work cut out for him. Is this the way they’re going to question McCain the entire race?

McCain was making fun of himself. When he said he had little economic expertise, it was obvious that he was being sarcastic, and using self-deprecating humor. But he wasn't lying, either.
