Obama go to Washington DC, work with your leaders and Mccain pass the bill.

I can wait for Debate But I can not loose any more money

Obama be a doer, not a talker

This is an absolute circus.
I don't understand much of the complexities...but one thing has me scratching my head...
If it was so important/perilous a situation that McCain "suspended" his campaign (which he didn't but that's another story)...why are House Republicans thinking disaster isn't looming and want to take more time with a brand new proposal?

yeah...because yesterday's meeting was so helpful. :/

McCain wants to push the debate to Oct 2, the day of the VP debate. Does he really think Americans are that dumb? THis is obviously a ploy by his campaign to keep Palin from debaqting Biden, because they know Palin is a bubblehead. I can't believe that McCain is playing politics while our country goes down the financial tubs. Then again, his campaign's financial advisor, Phil Gramm, is the architect of the deregulation that set the platform for the disaster. Thank you John McCain for playing the violin while Rome burns.

Obama only cares about himself, his image and a vote.

Kudo's to John McCain for Holding his job serious, and willing to do it.

If Obama can't reschedule the debate it shows just how shallow and self absorbed he is.

It will Also proves the Democrats are behind the problems of the present economy and are happy about the state of the Economy. That they have used the people and created a way and means to get votes.

No Obama Ever................

Obama does not want to forget what he memorized

If neither McCain nor Obama had gone to Washington at Bush's request, a bipartisan plan would have been agreed upon by now. By all accounts, McCain was responsible for ruining the bipartisan deal--perhaps so that he'd have reason to hang around D.C. and avoid debating Obama.

The Republicans have certainly made a fiasco out of the campaign, which is looking even worse than the past 8 years.

I know you can't be that dumb. How long has John McCain been out of Washington? I am not faulting him for that as I understand running for president requires some time to campaign. But for you to think this ploy was anything but that is mind boggling. Obviously he has his audience.

Obama is making this look like a political showdown. This is not sitting well with people. They care about solutions not politics right now. Economy first, politics second.

McSame is not trying to solve a crisis because he does not understand economy rather he has politicized the financial crisis we are facing because his poll numbers were falling as a rock. Now that he cannot solve the problem because Washington has never solved a problem in the past 8 years, he has to go back where he is needed most: the presidential debate. He is not a president, he has to leave his mentor WBush solve problems they have created togather as champions of deregulation of the financial market. God save America from McSame.God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN08.

By deciding to not show up to the debate and stopping his campaign, McCain is delaying the election. If the Republican candidate doesn't want to be at the debate why not invite third parties such as the Greens, Libertarians and Peace & Freedom.

Send Sarah, if Obama insists on talking while Rome burns.

McCain is only in Washington for political gain because he knows many of many Americans are gullible enough to believe he's actually there to do something constructive. As it was reported yesterday, he briefly spoke last and contributed nothing substansive in either words or actions to the meeting at the White House yesterday. Political gain is all he is interested. McCain wants to win first then he'll worry about what to do with the country afterward.

You Obama voters just keep drinking the kool-aid. Of course Obama wants to have the debate or a town hall meeting or anything to just hear himself talk. That's all he does is talk, but with no substance. You Obama voters want to elect the classic high school debate wimp to be president of our country! Just keep drinking the kool-aid.

The Country would be alot better off without Wall Street and the Federal Reserve. And you can thank Ronald Ragan for the 401k you lost your money in. Regan and his people came up with the idea of the 401k in stead of a pension plan so Wall Street could steal your money.

Ex Republican

rafraf...it is McCain playing political games. Until yesterday, quiet bipartisan negotiations were being done. McCain flies in and negotiations have turned into a circus.

"Kudo's to John McCain for Holding his job serious, and willing to do it."

Don't kid yourself. What McCain is doing is not his job.

He's a senator, as is Obama, neither of whom would ordinarily be involved in these negotiations. They don't sit on the relevant committees. It's not their job to make these negotiations part of their presidential campaign - but that's exactly what McCain has done.

According to his own statement, McCain "did not attack any proposal or endorse any plan." All he did was urge that "all sides would have to cooperate and build a bipartisan consensus for a solution that protects taxpayers."

So in other words, he said "we need a solution" and did nothing to help realize that solution. He did nothing.

Do you really think he needed to dash off to Washington to do that, dragging all the politics of a Presidential campaign with him? Seriously?

It's a disaster. Maybe it would be just as bad if McCain hadn't done what he did, but there's no way he's helped.

"if Obama insists on talking while Rome burns."

Please tell me exactly what it is that Obama and McCain should be doing to help solve this problem at 9pm on a Friday.

Be specific.
