[history]
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 Fridays 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.

oe can tell us how President Ulysses S. Grant used to write speeches on his Blackberry during the Civil WarI thought it was Lincoln who wrote the Gettysburg Address on Air Force One, thumb-typing on his Blackberry. And sipping a Starbucks mocha latte cappuccino.

“Yep. Before the day is out, Obama will have issued a statement that he is capable of dealing with two things at once”.
That just happened. I think McCain comes out like a loser on this one.

There is a big difference between cancelling the debate and postponing it. Why can’t Obama postpone the event? What is more important? Or is it because he won’t have time to get prepared for the second one, which is on Oct 7?

Finally you post on a thread other than ones showing low polls for McCain, but you stick to your attack McCain and his chances stance. You sound desperate to always be negative.

Forget the 3AM phone call. Obama can’t even answer the phone at 3PM.

And you mustn't forget:
4) McCain will be a lightning rod for the Democrats. They cannot ignore him. And the Republicans will push him to the front -- not hard, because he is ON RECORD as having tried address this exact problem in 2005!

I’m not sure if I’d call this ‘brilliant’. We’re facing a horrible economic crisis, and a rescue effort is currently being worked out in Congress. McCain and Obama and Biden SHOULD be in D.C. trying to work out a solution to this crisis, it’s their JOB. Kudos to McCain for being the first to state the obvious. Boos to Obama and Biden for not following McCain’s lead.

There is economic catastrophe brewing! Do you not understand this?!?!?!?
Does this picture help??
Yes, today's 6% unemployment (basically full employment) looks JUST LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
The problem was created by those in the federal government (mostly Democrats) misusing government-created financial institutions as giant political slush funds. The solution is to politically target those people responsible and get rid of them.

Nope, these are just the same old freepers rooting for Hussein, clinging to the myth that his Presidency will create the rise of the Conservative super heroes!!
To: teddyballgame
I don’t see it that way at all. We need a deal done soon. Everybody knows it.
McCain’s move puts pressure on people to get it done for the good of the average American.

Give it 4 to 12 hours and McCain will offer send out Palin to debate in his stead since he is too busy doing his job.
THEN watch Obama cancel. :)
That would be great!!! Palin vs. Obama LOL
