>>>>>>John McCain announced yesterday that he is suspending his campaign to help deal with the financial crisis. He said he would not participate in tomorrow night's scheduled Presidential debate if the Senate has not passed a bill in response to the administration's bailout proposal. Barack Obama said he wants the debate to proceed as scheduled.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Thoughts?
>>>>>
>>>>>There should be a debate. McCain is not the president. Before McCain was there Bush and his staff were able to solve things. Why would it be different now.
>>>>>
>>>>>McCain just wants to project that he's practically taking office.
>>>>
>>>>Theoretically he is a US Senator, and the US Senate is absolutely involved in this (sham that it (the situation and the senate) is). Every senator (even ones with no experience like that guy from Illinois) should be involved, understand the problem and the proposed solution, and help with it before trillions of non-existant $$ are committed.
>>>
>>>I understand you but is McCain really going to make the difference in making the BIG decision?
>>>
>>>To me it's just another political gimmick
>>
>>I think it's the responsibility of all of congress and the president to figure out what to do in this situation. the American people are suddenly threatened with another Great Depression, and are being hustled into throwing ourselves into more trillions of $$ in debt to try to put it off for some time (months, years, days???).
>>
>>This is an incredibly volitile moment, and tragic as it is, our wallets are in the hands of the government right now (like they will be if Obama gets elected too)..
>
>And the timing is so good for Bush and his friends. This looks more and more like an episode of 24. Where is Jack Bauer when you really need him.

He won't be around until November 23rd...
