"McCain actually said he was suspending his campaign and delaying the debate: “until we have taken action to address this crisis”."

Is that enough for you? Seriously doesn't that come off as DC speak for "we're gonna talk and when we finish talking we'll be in the same place we were when we began". Why suspend your campaign and ask your opponent to delay the debate so you can "address" and not solve a crisis? Has John's "addressing" moved the debate any closer to resolution? Is his campaign still suspended since there isn't a resolution or is it back on since he addressed it? See how silly this stunt makes him look?

I disagree with this point, blaquebyrd. McCain knows this crisis is too important and a bit too complicated to demand a solution in one or two meetings that would conveniently allow him to attend the debate. IMO, he showed up, put his two cents in, stirred things up, helped the GOP Reps ‘reform’ the bailout if you will, and then he leaves it in their capable hands to finish the deal. He doesn’t have to be there every step of the way. He addressed it and he will continue to be involved but he isn’t presuming that his presence is required for every decision made. That’s playing on a team. That’s leading.

Obama made it clear from the beginning that this little “crisis” was not going to throw off HIS schedule and he would NOT be inconvenienced by it. That’s acting like a little spoiled brat. That’s not leadership.
