He had ways of doing this that didn’t look so much like ducking out of a debate when he’s down 8 points. I’m sorry, but this looks like a tucked tail. Not Presidential at all. If the networks and Barry are there Friday and McCain is not, he’s toast.
The proposed Paulson plan gives the treasury secretary an unprecedented amount of power for two years.
Paulson is out in 4 months, and his successor will be selected by the next president.
We don’t know who the next president is, much less who he will appoint as treasury secretary.
What if 0bama wins and he appoints George $oros as treasury secretary, who will have 20 months as the most powerful man in the world?
What needs to happen instead is congress must outlaw Credit Default Swaps retroactively, making all standing contracts null and void, and rescind Sarbanes-Oxley.
This would make the credit crisis nearly disappear overnight, and not cost the taxpayers a cent.
McCain needs to lead the charge on Capital Hill against a socialist-style bailout and a nationalization of home ownership.
Interesting move. I wonder if Barry will show up to the debate on Friday by hisself, if this happens.
COUNTRY FIRST
Not just a campaign slogan
McCain could just say, “Sorry, Barry, I want to go deal with the country’s financial problems right now. But, I’ll send Sarah to debate with you. ‘kay?”.
Hahaha. Send in the Barracuda!
If McCain campaigns on ‘Country First’ this is sticking to his slogan. I don’t think Barry can say much at all.

So what happens if McCain doesn’t show up at Ole Miss?
Will 0. Hussein just stand there reading from his teleprompter by himself?
Could backfire on McCain, but has more pitfalls for B. Hussein Obama. If Obama doesn’t respond likewise, it looks like he doesn’t care (or doesn’t know anything) about the economy and the American public. If he does what McCain did, it looks like he can’t think for himself and has to follow McCain’s lead in order to look leader-like.
Potentially a brilliant move by McCain, but this is politics after all....
This latest move by McCain can truly backfire on McCain’s chances for victory on November 4! Long-term socialism will truly occur throughout the U.S. on all of the issues, if Barack Obama is truly the next POTUS, and the Democrats and “leftist” Republicans also end up controlling the next Congress and beyond!
The people do not think it is trivial.
Harry Reid said yesterday that McCain could be part of the solution. Now, he says McCain isn’t needed. Harry’s the one that’s not needed, just a waste of space.
Obama’s spokesmen have been saying that Obama can “multi-task”. Let’s see. He’s cramming for a debate and says, “if you need me give me a call”. How is that multi-tasking?
I’ve been torn about McCain’s decision, but now I think it was the right thing to do. He is still a Senator and he should help with this crisis. Meanwhile, Obama looks like he isn’t interested and doesn’t care.
This is really rich, no pun intended.

FREEP THIS POLL:
Is it wise for McCain to suspend his campaign and delay the debate?
