That statement alone by McCain scares the heck out of me. He also voted with Bush 98% of the time so I do NOT see how that will equate to any kind of change what so ever. Is Obama the second coming? Of course not but I do truly believe that of the 2 candidates, Obama really does want change. McCain will just be an extension of Bush and that would NOT be good imo.

There is nothing scary about that statement as it is correct, people still have jobs to go to, government still functions, banks are still open and your money is not all gone, you can still get gas and go to the store to get food and supplies. That is what McCain meant and it is true until it was spun by the liberal media. He was trying to say this is a very serious issue and deserves out highest attention but our basic fundamentals are still strong and functioning and nothing to panic about or thing the sky is falling.
McCain did not vote with Bush 98% of the time. Where are you getting that? Even Democrats and Obama say he only voted 90% of the time, most of those votes were after 9/11 and for homeland security and other measures to keep America safe and fight terrorism and increase our military strength. McCain has disagreed with Bush and the Republican administration numerous times and is not afraid to take on his own party, he is not called a maverick for nothing and has a clear record of doing that. Obama on the other hand is the one who when he actually does vote on something instead showing no leadership and playing it safe with a "present" vote he has made 133 times while a Senator instead of yes or no votes consistently in the high 90 percentile with Democrats and is generally in the 97-98 percentile which was pointed out recently by George Stephanopolis during a interview. It is Obama who is the one with the highest one sided only agreement with his own Dem party and is the most liberal Senator with no history of siding against his party and very little history of even bi partisanship. The Democrats and Democratic Congress Obama consistantly sides with just about 100% of the time currently has a single digit 9% approval rating and would love to have Bushes approval rating which is in the mid to high 30 percentile rating. Keep in mind the economy was in pretty good shape before Democrats took over Congress 2 years ago and it has significantly faltured under a Democratic Congress compared to a thriving economy under Bush and a Republican Congress the previous 6 years despite a major terrorist attack in 2001 and 2 wars.
