John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.

is reporting that Obama will NOT cancel the debate. Then McCain's reply should be...fine if you demand the debate continue on Friday you will have to meet me in Washington where I will be working.

Obama says “If they need me I’ll go to Washington” What a clown. In other words, Obama basically admits that he's not even a factor within his own party.

If McCain helps to sew something together legislatively, he can still show up for the debate on Friday night, in an angry mood sufficient to wipe the floor with BO.
This is keeping BO on defense and off-balance.

Obama: If you need me call me....This quote will be in the next campaign ad for McCain. Something good from this press conference after all!!

If a potential meltdown of the financial markets is not enough to lure Obama off the stump, what will be?
It's like George H.W. Bush looking at his watch during one of the presidential debates with Bill Clinton.
Where does Obama have to be that is more important than saving the economy?

“If they need me I’ll go to Washington” One step removed from "present". One step short of "present."
