Bailout Debates

So the economy is in trouble and McCain wants to do his job as an elected official and Obama just wants to talk. Obama feels that the debate is more important than doing the job he was elected to do. McCain has suspended his campaign and returned to Washington to work on the bailout plan. This means that Friday's debate would have to be postponed. I agree that the debates are important but so is the economy and the financial markets. Bush wants a blank check right now with no questions asked and surprisingly both Republicans and Democrats think that is a bad idea. After the rush to Iraq that is probably not an unreasonable position to take. Bush has no credibility so Congress for once is doing the right thing.
At the start of this campaign I had high hopes that Obama would be the guy and that he would really be different. I was wrong. He is so wrapped up in being elected President that he has forgotten that he is a Senator. If he doesn't think that being a Senator is important why should I believe that he will take the Presidency any more seriously. Obama is just a a talker. So far he has done nothing but talk about hope and change but with no real details and we all know that the devil is in the details. Obama believes that we really want to hear him talk rather than see him act in the best interests of the country.
McCain is no angel either. His campaign is in trouble and he is frantically looking for an issue to get his poll numbers up. I had thought that his choice of Palin as his running mate was a game changer but that really isn't working out for him. So much of what she has said is just wrong. If you are going to bend the truth you should at least say something that isn't so easy to disprove with just a simple Google search. But at least McCain understands that he has a job as a Senator and he understands his duty to that job and the people that elected him.
