Obama told a Washington gathering of AARP, an interest group that represents the elderly, that McCain would go beyond President George W.

Obama said McCain has embraced that proposal, called privatizing, and "gone even further, suggesting that the best answer to the growing pressures on Social Security might be to cut cost-of-living adjustments or raise the retirement age." "I will not do either," he said in remarks delivered to the group by satellite, trying again to link McCain with the unpopular president.

The Labor Department said the economy lost jobs in August for the eighth consecutive month -- and at a faster-than-expected pace.

"There's been a terrific amount of growing concern about the outlook for demand globally," said John Kilduff, senior vice president of risk management at MF Global LLC. "Today's employment report emboldened that concern." Light, sweet crude for October delivery fell $1.66 to settle at $106.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange -- its lowest settlement since early April. During the session, it fell as low as $105.13. Since surging to a record $147.27 a barrel on July 11, crude has tumbled by over $40, or more than 27 percent. What could possibly stanch the drop is a cutback in production. Investors are waiting to see if OPEC decides to restrict oil output at its meeting next week in Vienna in response to the two-month plunge in prices.
