Barack Obama and John McCain struggled to seize control of the No. 1 issue on voters' minds - the economy - at a pivotal moment in the presidential campaign with Americans increasingly worried about the fallout from the meltdown on Wall Street.
Republican McCain on Monday assailed "greed and corruption" on Wall Street and promised to clean it up, while Democrat Obama said his opponent would only deliver more of the same failed Bush administration economic policies.
Obama mocked McCain for declaring the "fundamentals of our economy are strong," saying his Republican rival was out of touch with the economic distress of struggling middle-class families.
With just seven weeks remaining to the Nov. 4 elections, the first-term Illinois senator is fighting to regain momentum after slipping in the polls following McCain's surprise announcement that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, virtually unknown on the national political stage until then, would join him on the Republican ticket.
