McCain Suspending Campaign -- This Says it All

What Else Would President McCain Postpone in a Crisis?



So now John McCain wants to suspend his campaign and postpone Friday's debate so he can go to Washington and work on the financial crisis -- as if his vast economic expertise is what's missing in all of this.

After years of being the Senate's champion of deregulation, and an admitted economic lightweight, John McCain suddenly wants to pretend he's our knight in shining armor? But wait -- wasn't it McCain's own party and policies that created this crisis? Wasn't it his own economic advisor, Phil Gramm, who called Americans "whiners" in a "mental recession?" Didn't McCain recently praise the fundamentals of our economy and call himself a "fundamentally a deregulator?"

Come to think of it, the last thing America needs is for John McCain to go back to Washington. Because that's exactly where he and his cronies created this financial mess.

Clearly, Steve Schmidt thinks he's being clever. You can just picture the staff meeting: "We'll look like heroes! We'll put Obama in a corner, and force him into looking like he doesn't care about the crisis! We're geniuses!"

Just one problem, Steve-O...you're going after independents. And independents are smarter than you think they are. I'm guessing that most of them will see this for what it is: a stunt. A distraction from the fact that John McCain's core beliefs and record are at the very heart of this crisis.

And as for postponing the debate? Real leaders don't have the luxury of taking time outs, Senator McCain. They're supposed to be able to deal with a wide array of problems, all at once. Especially when they're President. That's why it's called "the hardest job in the world."

Lincoln ran for office during the Civil War. Reagan ran at the height of the Cold War. Bush ran with two wars raging in Afghanistan and Iraq. But McCain can't run during a crisis on Wall Street?

Kind've makes you wonder what his multitasking threshold is, and what else he'd "suspend" or "postpone" when the going got tough.

Maybe he'd just hand it all over to Sarah Palin.

Something that people are missing out on here is that this is NOT a crisis for him and his friends. They are banking HARD off this.

I dont think this will turn out to be a wise idea for him

Who the fuck cares about McCain? We need more of that bitch Sarah Palin, shes a fucking MILF!

Fuck McCain fuck Obama they both area all for this fucking 700 billion to 5 TRILLION dollar bail out....

I'm not thrilled about the value of my dollars going to shit either, but it would have been worse w/o a bailout, even if it's hard to imagine right now.

:1orglaugh

I was just watching cnbc and saw Bernanke say about the banks we are BAILING OUT "They will lend the money out that is what they are good at" ummmm if they were so good at leading out the money why are we bailing these people out?

LOL, too fucking funny, they have been hiding Palin since they announced her, now McClown is going to go into hiding too.

It's a good strategy actually discussing the issuses in a debate with Obama won't turn out good for him.
