He attempted to explain the current situation should supercede (obvious) partisan presidential politics at the moment and I thought that was good coming from him...(but I guess that was the ONLY thing he really could have said).
Other than that he drifted in and out of talking points.
One statement coming from Barack that I can agree with coming out of any of his speeches, is surprising given my low expectations of the radical, partisan, empty-suit, socialist.
Right, and then he said he had more important things to do than his Sneatorial job in Washington, namely preparing for the Friday debate.

Newt on Senator McCain’s Decision to Suspend His Campaign to Forge an Agreement on the Financial Crisis:
The McCain Leadership Factor
Today john McCain showed what it meant to put country first.
He put everything on the line to try to put together a bipartisan sizable economic package to replace the failed Paulson bailout package.

This is the day the McCain-reform Republican Party began to truly emerge as a movement which puts country first, solutions first, and big change first.
If House and Senate Republicans can help McCain put together a three part economic package history could be made.

An economic growth component;
An energy solution; and
A work-out (not a bail-out) for the financial sector
