SandyB,

Because McCain became part of the problem once in landed in Washington. Instead of trying to find a solution or a compromise the situation worsen.

Dems backing the bailout and Republicans against it. Before McCain landed there was progress after he arrived everything ventured back to politics.

Also McCain could have gone to Washington without "suspending" his campiagn. It seemed more of a political move rather a move for the sake of his country.

I knew, at some point and time in this election, the issues would become the dominant factors in the decision making process in the President

Yes, Yes !

Obama/Biden 08

McCain's campaign suspended lying about Obama so they could lie about McCain's his role in the Bailout. Today they announced they are going to resume lying about Obama.

Look at all these liberal idiots posting here.

Go John go!

Fellow citizens, let's not bicker amongst ourselves. It is impossible to convince ourselves whether McCain's move was a stunt or not. This is a matter of opinion... the only impartial arbiter are facts. What happened when McCain arrived? What happened at the WH meeting? I will not detail the answers here b/c there has been plenty of airtime and print given to this. By all accounts (Rep and Dem), it was a powder keg. One can never know McCain's intentions, but one can certainly conclude that whatever his intent, what happened was a disaster that probably could have been avoided through a more discrete approach. I'm just glad Nukes, Russia, N. Korea, Pakistan, terrorists were not involved in this incident; but, surely, the future President will have to deal with these prickly matters. No?

One other note: I'd ask our current president to do his job rather than show a lack of leadership and invite *candidates* for president to national crises. There's a place for candidates, and there's a place for the current President. Let's not confuse the two. We still have 3+ months of the Bush administration. Let's hope and pray nothing else blows up.

Has John McCain asked his campaign manager to refund the $2,000,000 he received as a paid lobbyist from Freddie Mac? Turn it over the Freddie Mac's new owner, the American Taxpayer.

In the meantime...Obama "call me if you need me" is working out in the gym.

Who you gonna call? The Ghostbuster team of Obama! HA!

Has anybody heard from Obama??

Or is he still hiding under his bed in his wet spidey underoos??

He's working in out in the gym in Adams Morgan. Just call him, and he will be there!!

Seriously, McCain is going to crush Obama in this debate.....

Pelosi has the votes to override GOP House opposition.

If this is such a fantastically super-duper wonderful idea, why isn't she passing the bill?

There are provisions in the bailout that just sends more money to corrupt organizations like ACORN-i object to this! You should object too!

Sign the petition against this bailout online! You obamabots should b supporting someone who is trying to forge compromise and take the taxpayers interests into consideration. How low it is of you to tag mccain for doing his job! Mccain did nothing wrong and he will be at the debate, so your argument is garbage.

The plan as it stands now siphons off 20% of the money and gives it to radical organizations such as ACORN. That is why the House GOP won't go along with the bill. The GOP is the minority party, and the Dems could pass the bill without any GOP support. The GOP in no way is standing in the way of getting a bill passed.

But, the Dems don't want to pass a bill without GOP support in case the bill doesn't work because then they would be completely responsible. So you have a bill which is absolutely horrible because the Democrats made it that way, but which the Democrats are too gutless to pass on their own. It's a very sad state of affairs.

At least McCain is actually working to bring the two sides together. Whether it will accomplish anything or not is anyone's guess. Obama, on the other hand, has proven again that he's an empty suit with nothing at all to offer.

And yet all you "disgusted with McCain" folks want a man mired in corruptible friends, friend of terrorists, lawyer for corrupt ACORN, (which by the way gets help from the proposed bail-out) being investigated for a garden that never happened, member of a racist church for 20 years kind of president and can keep going....

Sheesh! Had McCain even spoken at a racist church he would have never survived the first 20 primaries.

Obama is not a leader. He is still a little boy with daddy issues trying to find himself. He was a 100% voting with Daley machine hack candidate that lucked out when Jack Ryan got ambushed.

He is now a 100% voting with the far left machine hack candidate, resorting to lies and posturing at every turn.

Demands a scripted debate now at this instant after running away from 10 open crowd town halls?

A vote for Obama is either out of ignorance, greed or desire for socialism.

Obama and the Senate Dems added 20% of bailout ot ACORN. Why???????????????

And, why would the GOP allow this????????????

John McCain has no moral rudder anymore. He traded his spine to the lobbyists that are now pulling his strings. He's a spineless, paper thin puppet who now campaigns using lies and smears and conspiracy theories. His base is comprised of a fragmented group with one thing in common: a loyalty to the same failed policies of George Bush.

We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal.

GOP (House) are not allowing this. The House dems are gutless to pass this on their own. McCain is going to expose that tonight, point to Obama and accuse him of bailing out Wall St and SUPPORTING Bush...

Obama finally admits to dual citizen - Kenya and USA. Kenyan law states that if he did not renounce his USA citizen by 21 he is a USA citizen. Why didn't he just tell this - it took a lawsuit.

He still will NOT turn over his birth certificate, because even though the Kenyan citizen is not an issue his Indonasian citizen probably still is.

I am so sick of Obama demanding and threatening others when he consistently is deceitful.

What next folks out of Mr. Obama? Go to his website - he is now posting about his dual citizenship - but still will not release his birth certificate. Why?????????????

When Limbaugh and Hannity turn on McCain all the nut jobs will turn on McCain the same day. That will be an ugly day for Senator Hothead. He might explode. That would leave Palin to carry the banner, or would Romney take her down in a knife fight?
