Obama Says Now is the Time for a Debate

Obama: “Now is time for debate”, translation: “I refused McCain’s townhall debates before b/c I would have been thoroughly embarassed, but now that I have crammed for this debate, I am afraid if we wait, I won’t be able to hold onto all this info in my feeble little mind, so please have this debate now so I don’t look like a buffon, or more like a buffoon than I already do”.
So, Mr. Obama, if a president is suppposed to be able to multitask, kindly tell the American people how you completely IGNORED your duties as chair of the European affairs committee, while you were busy selfishly campaigning, if you think you should have been able to do both? In the meantime, while you were selfish, hundreds of people of died in Afghanistan, because you couldn’t do your duties to oversee nato?
Will you, Mr. Obama, explain that to the American people? Do you honestly think your silly debate is more important than this economic crisis that will affect everyone’s lives?
Are you that selfish, mr Obama? Do you have one shred of moral decency in that corrupt body of yours?
Honestly…..how could you vote for this liar, Obama?

Once again Obama shows leadership in not falling for this cheap trick by McCain and his handlers. The American people see through it too. And now they are trying to move Biden Palin back too. McCain’s a maverick because he lacks the brand of a leader.

Obama votes “present” again. He has no idea what to do about this latest crisis and will act the same on every issue if he is elected. I almost hope he wins so his ignorant followers will find out what it means to suffer. Those of us who have no debt can then sit back and laugh with our guns ready to hold off those who would steal our last piece of bread.

John McCain is doing what is right for America, he is going to make sure the economy is saved! Why is Obama wanting a debate now, McCain has been trying all summer for him to have a town hall, now all of a sudden he wants a debate. Obama and Dems what is more important!! Obama is like Bush , he hid is Tx during Katrina and Obama is hiding in Fl. for the worst economy disaster! Country First!!! Obama says Debate first, the heck with the economy!!!!!!!!

McCain in the way? BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today Harry Reid told John McCain to get lost, you don’t have to come back – it might be political grandstanding.
Yeah but JUST YESTERDAY…
The Same Democrats Decrying Today’s Action By John McCain Are The Same Democrats Who Were Demanding John McCain’s Involvement Yesterday
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV): “We Need The Republican Nominee For President To Let Us Know Where He Stands On What We Should Do.” REID: “We need, now, the Republicans to start producing some votes for us. We need the Republican nominee for president to let us know where he stands and what we should do.” (Sen. Harry Reid, Media Availability, Washington, D.C., 9/23/08)
Roll Call: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Told The White House That Senator John McCain Was Crucial To Any Bailout Deal. “Fearing a political backlash against Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has told the White House that it must serve up support from Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) if it hopes to ensure bipartisan backing for a massive economic bailout package by week’s end.” (Erin P. Billings and John Stanton, “Reid Seeks McCain Pledge,” Roll Call, 9/24/08)
Roll Call: “McCain Holds The Key To … A Bipartisan Vote, According To Reid …” “McCain holds the key to such a bipartisan vote, according to Reid, because Republicans are likely to defer to his position on a bill that holds political peril. McCain on Tuesday night joined Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in lending qualified support for the $700 billion package, but it remains unclear whether his backing is strong enough and timely enough to persuade the Congressional rank and file.” (Erin P. Billings and John Stanton, “Reid Seeks McCain Pledge,” Roll Call, 9/24/08)
Senator Reid Told Secretary Paulson That Senator McCain Was Necessary For Any Agreement. “According to a Democratic aide familiar with the discussions, Reid told Paulson this week that ‘if McCain didn’t come out for this thing and come out for it quickly, it was going to begin bleeding Republican votes.’ Democrats ‘have a very real concern that opposition [from McCain] is going to drive away potential Republican votes,’ this aide said.” (Erin P. Billings and John Stanton, “Reid Seeks McCain Pledge,” Roll Call, 9/24/08)
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos: White House Has Been Told By Democrats “That There Is No Deal If McCain Doesn’t Go Along.” “A Democratic leadership source says that White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten has been told that Democratic votes will not be there if McCain votes no – that there is no deal if McCain doesn’t go along.” (George Stephanopoulos, “McCain; Holds Key To Administration’s Bailout Passage On Capitol Hill,” ABC News, 9/23/08)

poor obama he had his little tele prompter all fired up and then mccain reminds him that they are still senators on the payroll whose constituents expect them to do the job they were elected to do.
obamas suggestion CALL ME!

This is Barack’s Katrina…he’s a deer in headlights while the others scramble around him to solve the giant crisis.

The last I checked Obama is still a senator, he is paid by us ,the American people. Why isn’t Obama doing his job!! Thank god, McCain is doing his job!! Americans will see that Obama doesn’t care about our economy

Obama looked full of hate today on tv. McCain is showing true leadership,and Reid and Obama is going down fast. Obama is not a leader he never be president,people or not stupid to vote for this guy,we are not even sure that he is realy an American citizen.He and Michell are haters of America.McCain want to save our economy and our country, but Obama and Michelle want to destroy this country.

leadership is stepping up and knocking heads so to speak to get intransigable people to sit down and hammer out a compramise.if any of you that are saying this is not something that requires the sole attention of our leadership on bothsides of the isle i hope that you dont know anyone in construction,realestate,automotive or other big ticket items that require credit.then when all of those people arnt making any money i hope you all dont work in service industrires as if a large part of the workforce is not employed then it will affect us all.THIS COUNTRY RUNS ON CRFEDIT WITHOUT IT WE COME TO A GRINDING HALT.

What a bunch of koolaid drinking dolts. Friday’s debate is about Foreign policy – not the economy or domestic affairs – McCain was right to say lets get this straightened out before we go back to politics. If we don’t have an agreement by Monday the stock market could very well collapse.

Today, Sen. McCain has announced that due to the economic crisis, he has decided to suspend his campaign and pending debate and has called on bipartisan unity in reaching a solution to this crisis.
There are a few problems with this.
1) How have we gone from his August 24th statement
INGRAHAM: And now look: the dollar’s weak, we have serious competition from abroad, government is running a deficit. … What are the Republicans going to do if China ultimately overtakes us economically and does that matter?
MCCAIN: I still believe the fundamentals of our economy are strong. We’ve got terribly big challenges now, whether it be housing or employment or so many of the other — health care. It’s very, very tough times. It’s very tough. But we’re still the most innovative, the most productive (13 trillion…right), the greatest exporter (wrong…Germany…the US is number 4 behind the EU and China), the greatest importer (that means we can’t make what we need…why is that good?).
MCCAIN: I still believe the fundamentals of our economy are strong.
One month and the economic crisis is so bad he want’s to suspend campaigining to help solve the crisis.
What’s wrong with that?
Everything.
As president, he won’t have the luxury of suspending wildfires in CA, flooding in the midwest, hurricane damage in LA and TX and an impending one in SoFl, Russia moving into Georgia, the re-start of the N. Korean reactor, gas prices rising, the mortgage market in a death spiral, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua, trade……….and work on one problem at a time. He must be able to multitask without complaining he needs to focus on one issue over another. This proves he isn’t up to the task of being president…he can’t even run a campaign and deal with one economic issue.
Speaking of issue.
The foundation of our economy is the free-market. Wall Street is the free-market center of the universe. Wall Street is broken. How can the “funtamental” of our economy go from strong, to dead, in less than 28 days.
Sen. Obama needs to make this clear. McCain can’t deal with more than one thing at a time.

Who does John McCain think that he’s fooling with his “Politics First”? NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE — THAT’S FOR DAMN CERTAIN!!!

As a Canadian, I hope you all vote McCain. It will be awesome to see America going down the path of stupidity. It seems like you folks like to inflict serious pain on yourselves. 8 years of lunacy, and you want to go for 4 more?! McCains campaign leader has ties with Freddie Mac, or is it Faenie Mac; it does not matter anyways. This is obviously a ploy to ‘distract’ attetion from his dismal performance, morally-deficeint VP choice, and lack of skill.
McCain WANTS to lower taxes on only the top tier money-makers!! Thats like saying “Hay CEO’s, even though you make millions of dollars, and run massive corporations into the ground. How about a tax cut, so you can afford more fuel for your 12 Foreign Luxury Cars.”
READ facts, actually take time to read news. All you folks all seeem to have your heads up your asses.

“I’d rather lose an election than lose our economy” John McCain

Which is it, Senator Obama, a multi-tasking opportunity or the worst financial crisis since Wall Street?

McCain, Trailing in Polls, Continues Campaign By “Suspending” It
John McCain, trailing by 9 points in national polls, has announced that he is “suspending” his campaign.
Having lost significant ground to Obama on the issue of the economy, and facing a potentially defining and withering debate on Friday where he would be confronted on his statements on the economy that have led to this sharp decline, McCain has attempted to change the rules of the game, to erase many past errors through a putatively “unpolitical” move–something we have seen before.
A simple question: Under the same economic conditions, if McCain had been leading, does anyone believe that McCain would have “suspended” his campaign?
This is the ultimate in cynicism–using the current conditions in order to attempt to blunt a sharp decline and try to control the media dialogue, through a political act designed to avoid a potential political debacle. He is continuing his campaign–which was leading to loss in all directions–by “suspending” it. It is an attempt to silence media criticism and questions–and to prevent a debate on these issues that for him is sharply unfavorable. As such, it is impulsivity masked as statesmanship, as well as an attempt to control the media dialogue, as we saw yesterday at the U.N.,– factors we have seen all along. He wants to attempt to force media to avoid covering openly his flailing campaign, the cynically political masked as the unpolitical, as we saw in the VP pick. Don’t be fooled.
McCain is attempting to avoid the debate in the face of this decline, through the type of evasion and lack of press access and communication that has characterized his campaign. It shows an extraordinary willingness to use difficult conditions to erase and avoid political errors, and serve political needs.
He surely would like to put off the debate, and attempt to create more favorable conditions for it.
This is just the time for a debate. We can work on solutions at the same time. Don’t be cowed.

Way to go Obama strut your stuff, show everyone what you know as compared to mcbush and what he thinks he knows Robert Mcbush and his deregulators caused the mess maybe Cindy’s $ can clean up his poopoo

How could they discuss how this mess will affect the world when, if there is no plan in place, they would be speculating? Wouldn’t it be better to debate once Congress has agreed on a plan?
Can’t Obama ever put the country first? Does it always have to be about him?

Obama took the high road. McCain jumped at the chance for political glory, attempting to look responsible and decisive, when Obama had actually been the initiator of the idea of making a joint statement – which was truly a gesture to put aside partisan politics in the face of this financial crisis. McCain instead opted to use the crisis as a political opportunity – a vehicle to make him appear responsible by suspending his campaign. Everyone knows he is behind in the polls, and this is just a maneuver to appear decisive (actually a convenient way to dodge the debate). Transparent… and pretty low, when he had been approached in good faith by his opponent to make a joint public statement acknowledging this as an American crisis, not seeking to make it a party issue.

All of them should get their rears back to dc and face the music. We should also have the police waiting outside and arrest half of them for derelection of duty.

Liberati Mcbush helping the American people now you told a really goood joke unless it puts money in his pocket don’t look for anything from him and don’t hold your hand over your backside waiting either, he and his cronies made the mess

response to chris; mccain does not need to bone up before the debates as you claim he has repeatedly called upon obama for townhall meetings before the people and obama has refused.

right now we do not need debates, we need ACTION.

Sara: What have you been smoking. Whatever it is give it back to Obama. Aren’t you aware of the fact that the bail out needs John McCain to vote on it. If John McCain says no then we are in trouble and I mean serious trouble. It depends on McCain’s vote. Read more and understand more.

Shame on you Mr. Showmanship, do you think people are in the mood for debates, or more campaigning rhetorics? It’s time for a rookie senator lawmaker to get back to Washington to do something practical. It’s your duty, first a citizen and scesond as an insider-politician, Mr. Obama. Country first! People first, especially during time of national CRISIS, and self-interest or showmanship last.

colorado: I agree with you. This crisis is much more important than a debate. They can have the debate next Friday what’s the difference. It took Obama three days to prepare for the debate because he had to have schooling. He lost every debat and failed in the forum interview. However, I think that McCain should have the debate so it won’t do damage to his campaign. And I think its about time that senator Reid should retire because he is trouble.

Note to Al Qaeda, Putin, Iran and any other troublemakers out there:
If John McCain is elected, please coordinate because he can only handle one crisis at a time.
Should a President be able to multi task or not?
McCain & Obama have private planes, if they needed to fly from MS to DC they could easily within HOURS.
Does Bush fly to every spot everywhere to be physically there? No. Why? Because he has a staff to help him multi task and stay informed of everything going on.
Anyone who thinks knows I am right, no matter which side of the R & D divide you are on, fact is fact.
Neither McCain nor Obama are critical to this thing getting done in congress, neither one are on the committee’s directly involved and neither one are congressional leadership anyway.
They can EASILY do the debate like normal.
McCain is doing one thing, trying to look like some amazing hero, and it wont work because it looks as stupid as it is.

mccain is the only one that can deliver the republicans for the bailout PERIOD.
mccain has to be there. obama really plays no role of value. which is precisely why reid did not want mccain there. it reveals that obama is irrelevant and that the bailout can’t happen without mccain.
obamas input CALL ME!

suddenly all you McCain supporters are applauding his rush to socialism. In your mind redistribution of wealth is socialism, right? So why let the tax payer afford other peoples bills? 700 billion my a.s… let those morons at wall street drown, they never helped anyone, they refused taxes that would have helped people in trouble.
See what happens if you refuse the very idea of taxing? It all seems well for a while, but in the end you have to pay even more due to catastrophic events. It´s the same with new orleans: a little more welfare and people could have escaped. This would have been way cheaper than the disaster bill for the tax payer afterwoods.

This Multi Tasking sounds very homosexual to me.

“Obama told reporters that he will not suspect his camping”
Because that would just be silly.
Somebody wake up the copy editor!

Newsflash: a debate about foreign policy is connected to the domestic economy. If McCain shows up he will learn that ideas he is trying to sell as new and fresh have been proposed by international institutions years ago. everybody knew this crisis was coming, everybody but McCain an his buddies who refused to listen.

It is Country First time! Obama still doesn’t get it. “It’s my debate, my campaign, my European rock concert, my agenda. I am not a United States Senator. I cannot waste my time on this emergency. Besides, I plan to move into the White House soon. I will just debate myself in Mississippi. I have momentum, and I do not want anything or anybody to interfere with that!” Wow! He refused to debate so many times before, or even do town hall meetings. Now, he is ready to pontificate.
With all the experts speaking of the dire situation to do something quickly, with the Dem leadership and some leaders balking at a fix, and with Harry Reid saying that McCain must agree to it, McCain suspends his campaigning to go back to Washington. Then Reid and Dodd say he is not needed. Which way is it? They expect him to agree, but he does not need to work on the details. I suspect a lot of Dem leadership playing games. They are a big part of the reason nothing was done to stem this crisis before now. Dodd on banking, Barney Frank on the housing crisis, and Obama, Dodd, and others getting too cozy with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Easy come, easy go.
Obama’s agenda: taxes, taxes, promises, promises, and no money. What will he do now? He is not change. He is just empty soundbites and slogans. He should be trying to be a Senator a few more years. Maybe, he could improve on his peers who have pushed him so hard to be President before he was ready.
McCain: experience, wisdom, fiscal responsibility, and ready to work on all the things that matter. Somebody should have been listening to him already. We do need change. Obama is not it.
McCain/Palin ’08
Leadership for Change!
Country First!

to mariann:
“If he is so highly educated why did he have to be schooled on what to say at a debate. McCain doesn’t have to do that.”
Obama was schooled in communicating his ideas in a more dumb way. He was told how to make even republicans understand his massage. McCain doesn´t have to practice that, that´s right.
by the way, did you know that the plot of foreign novels sold in the US is in many cases cut to make it more simple? Otherwise it won´t sell, especially in small town america. true fact.

Georgia,
Actually, key members of the House and Senate from BOTH parties are “balking” at this “fix” – and rightly so. It’s great to see our congressional leaders actually THINKING about something TOGETHER instead of rolling over for Bush. The proposal that Paulson sumbitted for consideration was TWO PAGES LONG and said, in essence, “I really don’t know if $700 billion is the right number, and I don’t know how I plan to spend it, but you have to give it to me now and you can’t question me after you give it to me.
When asked about how Bush came up with the $700 billion number an aide to Paulson said “we just wanted to ask for a big number”. All this “bailout” is going to do is transfer ownership of the bad loans to the US taxpayer while the banks keep the good ones. In no way will it “save the economy” or help joe six pack pay his mortgage.
As for Obama and McCain, the election will be held on the first Tuesday of November no matter what. McCain can’t postpone that. His announcement was a brilliant political move, nothing more.

Roll up sleeves?…
McCain is NOT an elected member of the committee working hard on this problem. Like running towards a hurricane, it is not the answer. Obama is the leader. McCain’s campaign is full of gimmicks and stunts. He has blown it again…just like chosing Sarah Palin, who the majority finally can see is NOT the answer either. It is obvious who will be our president…and it won’t be McCain.

It’s really too bad that we don’t already HAVE a President that can handle this situation with his current Administration [Oh wait, that's how we GOT HERE to begin with]
McCain/Palin? Really? 4 more years of THIS? Come on.
Have we ALL gone NUTS?

Just wait until the “economic state of emergency” or the attack on Iran, you know these (insert your favorite word here) are just waiting to suspend the election if John “Insane”, can’t make it. Hell John won’t make it for the 1st four years. So unless you have a problem with the idea of after Obama is sabotaged this next month of “President Palin” you should feel just fine.

I think it might be okay, John, for the TWO of you to debate while THE REST OF THE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCIAL ADVISERS AND EXPERTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY continue to work on the Huge Problems at hand.
It takes a pretty big ego to think YOU are going to make much difference in a few hours’ time…or are you just really THAT AFRAID to face your Opponent?
We have a right to hear from our Candidates!
Let EVERYONE ELSE work on this for a few hours while you keep your Debate appointment!

I just don’t understand McCain’s reasoning about missing the debate in order to return to D.C. First of all, the debate’s not until Fri. night. Secondly, this is the 21st century, and technology enables us to transcend geography and travel time. I’m just a lowly teacher, but I’ve participated in classes and day-long meetings via interactive videoconferencing and different online methods, from one coast to the other and even to Jamaica!! I can also participate in more than one at the same time. Why can’t the person expecting to be the leader of this country??? Obama should do the same if he can offer anything additional to the Senate deliberations.

McGrandstander rolling up his sleeves to solve this crisis? How, by siding with Bush to spend at least seven hundred billion of our tax dollars? He doesn’t need to stop campaigning to follow Bush’s plan. He could just show up to vote for a change.
Truth is he knows his campaign is in trouble because the voters are starting to see what a dunce he is. This ploy will fail because the democrats wont fall for his egocentric attempt to play savior. Heck, his scheme to put himself first may even scuttle the whole bailout attempt.

Usually it’s appropriate to have all the FACTS before a ‘judge’ renders a decision.
http://factcheck.org/
Do your homework so you ‘judge’ accurately.

judge, grow a pair and own up. your boy mccain is full of it and every day it becomes more clear. i cant STAND people lying cause a candidate is “on their team”
biden is a blowhard, he makes mistakes, but he doesn’t LIE.
Your campaign IS LYING. ADMIT IT.

The economy is in shambles; we have several countries thumbing their collective noses at us: we have a sick maniac in N Korea making nuclear and a sicker maniac in Iran doing the same and you folks are “blogging” about two clowns ( you really don’t take either of them seriously do you? ) who are acting like adolescent children running for class president. I sadly must contend that we are left with but one course of action —resorting to prayer.

I can’t believe Americans are seriously considering voting for McBush and his Pitbull. We Europeans are laughing at this calamity. America has become the butt of all jokes.
What a cheap political stunt by the Republicans–these people HAVE NO IDEA, they are not ready to be in power and never will be. People should HEAR their potential leaders debate on the ISSUES that matter.
If McBush has health problems (he’s 72, had cancer 3 times and is on 6 different meds) this random Palin woman will become president. What is her international experience? “I can see Russia from my house”. Yeah that’s who you want leading the country!!! (sarcasm)
If you were the boss, who would you hire?
OBAMA: harvard law professor, Juris Doctor of law degree, senate committees: foreign affairs, homeland security, veterans affairs, education, family, health.
BIDEN: Juris Doctor of law degree, Chair of senate foreign relations committee, other senate committees: economy, crime, health, education, women’s affairs, education, technology
McBUSH: graduated from the naval academy and was in the bottom 5% of his class, senate committees: energy, economy and official conduct (arguably the 3 biggest Republican failures!!!!)
PITBULL PALIN: went to 6 different universities before finally completing an undergrad BA degree in journalism, no domestic or foreign policy experience but can see Russia from her house
AMERICA HAS TO CHANGE.
VOTE OBAMA!

McCain/Palin
Not ready to lead, not ready to debate.

Hey McChicken, what are you going to be doing in “Washington” that is so important??
I just heard on the news you aren’t even on the committee dealing with this, so you aren’t even allowed in the room! As it is a closed door session.
If McChicken tries to run away and hide (under his desk probably) from the debate on Friday, I think we need a reporter and a camera on him all day and night on Friday so we can see WHY he is too busy to debate!
And hiding in the bathroom stall with Larry Craig in the Senate bathroom isn’t going to cut it McChicken!!!!
In fact I heard that is exactly what is planned if he tries to chicken out on the debate!!
So come on McChicken, take your whipping from Obama. Get your behind out to that woodshed on Friday night. As Obama is going to beat the tar out of you at the debate and you know it!!
You can run McChicken, but you can’t hide….
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mcbush..mcchicken..mcshame..what a bunch of juveline mcidiots..mcgrow up.

caught off guard and without a telepromper, Bucky stutters like Porky Pig on cocaine. And Michelle comes across as an angry militant racist gorilla.
don’t let these freaks anywhere near the white house

Anyone who says McCain cares about the economy is falling for a political ploy.. Why is the economy more important now then it was a year or two ago when this could have been averted. Obama is right. People can multi-task, and we need to know what the candidates stand for. McCain has not been in the Senator for months. Now all of a sudden he cares, when he did not care about the Medicare bill which Senator Kennedy showed up and voted for, when Senator Kennedy was ill. McCain is a hypocrit.

Since they are trying to push back the Presidential debate, why don’t they just let the VP nominees go at it on Friday? Palin and Biden aren’t doing too much at the moment, and everybody is chomping at the bit to see them go toe to toe. Come on people, demand some action from those who are asking for our vote! It’s not like a debate is already planned, just change the participants!

Obama wants to debate but not show his birth certificate.
Latest on the Berg Lawsuit yesterday Obama was to appear in court. This is posted on the official Berg website.
http://obamacrimes.com/
For Immediate Release: – 09/24/08
OBAMA & DNC HIDE BEHIND LEGAL ISSUES WHILE BETRAYING PUBLIC IN NOT PRODUCING A CERTIFIED COPY OF OBAMA’S “VAULT” BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Country is Headed to a Constitutional Crisis
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 09/24/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss on the last day to file a response, for the obvious purpose of delaying Court action in the case of Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by delaying the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama was “natural born.”
It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

McCain is now running on Obamas Platform.
Now no matter who you vote for, you are voting Obama. So now Obama wins.
Do we now change his name to McBama?

Well,after reading all these comments now up to 109 what I have to say is of moderate importance and it’s a reminder to everyone.
The metaphysical3am phone call came in and John McCain picked up.
Thank You John, You’re the Man!A True American!
You have my vote.

“Obama: “Now is time for debate”, translation: “I refused McCain’s townhall debates before b/c I would have been thoroughly embarassed” McCains town hall meetings were unnecessary and more of a distraction to the campaigns. That’s the reason we have presidential debates.

Nello Bartolomei, these people fall for it time and time again. They’re mindless drones. It’s really sad. A lot of them are bible-beaters and their churches are doing something they are not supposed to do, tell them how to vote. What ever happened to separation of church and state? I am amazed at the stupidity, and they try to justify it with false claims.

The debate on foreign issues can be put off. Liquidity has to be restored to the financial markets. This issue is being rushed because it’s unlike any other financial meltdown in history. The government is being quiet about this because the freeze on capital could crush our overall economy.
Obama and the media are avoiding facing the issue directly because it was squarely caused by the Democrats under Clinton. This is where I have to stick the finger at Bill Clinton for Fannie Mae pushing suspect mortgages, and rewarding lenders for doing so trying to defeat redlining by revising the Community Re-Investment Act. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 was a bipartisan agreement by Phil Grahmm, signed by Bill Clinton and fully funded by citi-bank lobbyists. This was the official de-regulation of banking, yet created many conflicts of interests by banks. Read the laws and how they were changed.
So all you Democrats have to realize that this was caused by your parties Demosocialistic irresponsibility, and the US doesn’t need any more of it.
Either you can’t read, or don’t understand economics. I suggest you all read the laws that were created or modified by the Clinton administration, then sit back and THINK. This is how we got into this mess, and now the same Democrats are asking for oversight? I guess Washington can’t learn from mistakes.
I wouldn’t let Obama run my business, as he’s totally inept at anything but running his mouth. His “Community Organization” is a scam and cost $100 Million dollars and had no results. And that was according to his organizations final report, which CAN’T possibly be spun. Why the Obama media can’t ever post the truth is disturbing.
Just READ it and use your heads.
http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/downloads/p62.pdf

I don’t believe anything McCain says now or then. The story about him telling his captors he didn’t want to go home unless others went home doesn’t make sense. As a 23 year vet, your enemy didn’t say to you, “you can go home because you daddy is a big wig in the military.” If anything, it was more reason to keep him for interrogation. The story is full of holes and all we have is McCain’s word that it happen.
It is unfortunate McCain was a POW, but McCain is an opportunist then as he is now. A man of any integrity does not approve such low blow campaign ads, distort the truth, and out and out lie as he has in this campaign. I don’t care if you feel Obama has done the same. As a military man, we still maintain our integrity no matter how dishonest the enemy is. McCain’s campaign character does not reflect the integrity of a true hero.
I want proof from McCain that someone in the enemy camp said he could go home. McCain, do you really expect veterans, like me, believe that? When in history has the enemy told a captive he could go home? You have proven your word means nothing now and I suspect you took the opportunity to distort your story then for political purposes, as you seem to be doing now. Country first, if it advantages McCain, is your true motto.

And The winner for “DISPRITE STUNT OF THE YEAR” goes to: Sen.John Mccain!!!! for his disprite attempt to get votes!!! That’s the only reason he suspendend his campaign. Wake up people!!!! here’s the scenerio: your running for presdent,and your opponent is kicking your but in the polls,and everybody knows that you don’t much about the economy, then all of a sudden these huge credit companies bailout and the financial market is in really deep trouble, what would you do? SUSPEND YOUR CAMPAIGN TO GO PLAY HERO!!!! it’s a smart political move but something tells me its not going to work. You deserve the award John McCain!!!

Wow. Some of these comments are a little scary.

Of course McCain is afraid of Barack Obama. He knows he can not match up to the fact that Obama is the one who will win this election.
Obama has been chosen. He is the messiah. Look at people like Oprah Winfrey and Chris Matthews. They will help those of us who aren’t celebrities propel Barack Obama into the white house. The only people who will not vote for him are racists. There is no other reason not to vote for him.
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

Obama the Magic negro is going to prison.
