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.
He did, because it wouldn’t be appropriate due to Ike. I think.
Depending upon what Bush has to say tonight about the seriousness of the situation, Letterman may look very foolish.

Right. He was concerned about appearance in this case. Yet, he wants to phone it in when it comes to a crisis far worse than a hurricaine.
Oops. A spokesperson from the McCain campaign said Obama never actually spoke to Johnny today.
Ditto on that. I think Obama is going to either have to mirror Mac’s response after tonight’s speech from GWB or look very bad.
I am so very proud of John McCain right now. We are in deep trouble and as much as I hate his reaching across the aisle sometimes, it might come in handy in this situation.
How many times does he have to put aside what is best for him and serve his country instead, to once and for all convince people that he is the real deal?
Some people are still posting that the economy is rosy even today. Amazing.
They are outing themselves in full force on this thread, they must be runnin’ scared.
Nobody here cares what your fellow travelers in Hollywood and the MSM thinks about this situation.
Bush will not let this end until it is settled and voted on. He has the power to keep them in session for as long as it takes and THAT he will do.
...yesterday, Reid demanded that the White House made sure the legislation had John McCain’s backing, and Reid floated this bogus piece of news clearly intended to force McCain’s hand: “I got some good news in the last hour or so … it appears that Sen. McCain is going to come out for this.” McCain flatly denied that he had endorsed the plan.
So Harry Reid says that it’s essential that John McCain backs legislation designed to avert the greatest economic meltdown since the Great Depression. And when McCain says the highly problematic legislation, in its current form, is not good enough, Reid tells McCain to stay away from Capitol Hill. Who’s playing politics with economic crisis?

BOOM
Then you’re an idiot. If the taxpayers are propping up a business, we’re investors and it becomes our business.
I wish to God that ALL of America could see those blatant, obvious truths.
ha, aha......ahahaha....aha...ha.
Toast.
Not in the morning when the empty suit called him, but McCain called him back in the afternoon
David Letterman is more over-rated than John Mellencamp, if that’s even possible.
Thanks for the info...I was telling someone about this about an hour ago and they did not believe me....I will be sending an email now.... ;)
Who writes Letterman’s jokes? You guessed it. One of Zero’s staff.
