Since you are so concerned about bankruptcy then why in the world would you want a guy who has stated he doesn't know anything about the economy?

Republicans yelled and screamed that Clinton was going to bankrupt the country but he did the exact opposite and created a surplus. The savior of the Republican party has put us so deep in debt it is truly terrifying. Example: today's AZ Republic had a story about the truth of the national debt. Each household would be responsible for over $500,000 to pay over our national debt, DOUBLE of what it was just one year ago.

Yeah, that is what we need another 4 years of Bush like policy. Better live where it is cold because that will be the only ice that will be available.
The difference is, is that I am pretty certain McCain, while he may not know too much about economics, knows enough to employ people who do know what to do. It isn't the POTUS' job to know everything, rather to be the 'CEO' of our nation and make sure the right people are in the right places to do the right job and his job as 'CEO' is to manage/lead them. I feel confident in his ability to do that.

BTW...what are Obama's economic credentials? I'd love to know.
