- The Republicans cleared the way for revelry to take place within the various markets sighting Free Market Deregulation. The money has been taken and they are gone! Now, the same Republicans are attempting to backfill lost revenues with your tax payer money.
What will Barack Obama do?
Well first and foremost by not re-electing the same people that have pilfered the wealth (in many different ways) from the masses will be a start to economic recovery.
Stop the bleeding first, then begin the healing. - Reply to this comment
- Will all the Obama experts here please tell us exactly what he will do to save the economy? And tell us what the Republicans did to cause this mess? Please, this is a serious question.

- This is obvious attempt by McCain to turn the attention away from issues with the economy...its a Stund...Palin has hidden from the press and McCain does not want to debate because he knows he will slip further because of his ties to George Bush. Besides where is Bush? He is the President should he show a more interest..guess not.. What a mess. I would care if Obama does not go along with this he would still be the best Leader for our country.

- We don''t need you to run to the rescue of your rich buddies who own and operate all these banks John, we don''t need you to help dig the hole YOU and your Republican friends dug so deep with YOUR deregulation ideas even deeper! the deregulation YOU greedy Republican IDIOTS lobbied hard for. No McCain what the American people need, the people you so mistakenly refer to as "my friends" what WE need you to do is to STAY AWAY FROM OUR MONEY, stay OUT of Washington and to keep your hands OFF our money. Nice try running and hiding from Obama too, you can run McCain but you can''t hide. Why don''t you just suspend your campaign for good, we don''t need you and your kind, you are the ones who got America INTO this mess, you are the last ones we need to get us out. NO BAIL OUT FOR THE RICH REPUBLICANS!!!

- Why didn''t he go when the crisis started. Oh yeah, he had to take Caribou Barbie to the UN to get some face time. This guy is a joke.

- Listen to you "Country be damned, we need a debate!". Keep drinking the karl marx flavored kool-aid guys.
Obama has slithered away from McCain''s invite to tour the country for townhall style meetings. If not Friday, they will debate soon and I''m looking forward to BHO speaking without a teleprompter.
Change the debate to domestic issues? Please do. Let''s talk about Barney Frank and the other Democrat''s success turning Freddie and Fannie into a cess pool of bad debt all in the name of political correctness. Why hasn''t Waxman screamed for hearings on this one? You know why, there''s no Republicans to put on trial, just Democrats. - Reply to this comment
- McCain is a "Class Act"...He is correct to return to DC to work and vote on our "Econ. Meltdown"! Good for him...for unlike Obama, the "empty shirt", who just wants to talk, debate and play like Nero while Rome burns...Obama would just vote "Present" anyway, like he has 100 times, so no need for him to return to DC.

- What a transparent political ploy by McCain. Just like the hurricane delay at the convention. He''s trying to look "Presidential" by blackmailing Obama because Obama''s in the lead and he knows the debates will put Obama even farther ahead.
This has nothing to do with being Presidential and everything to do with cheap politics. The financial disaster is McCain''s fault and everyone knows it. - Reply to this comment
- How can McCain say he is suspending his campaign?
He didn''t have any campaign stops scheduled anyway. He was going to be using the time to cram for the debate.
Mccain is actually a pretty scrappy debater, who has had a lot of experience with it. Debating isn''t Obama''s strong suit. McCAIN will do just fine.
Just do it and get it over with. - Reply to this comment
- The credit crises seems really about restoring confidence. Paulson''s plan seems to simply be a strategy to restore confidence or credibility to the financial sector. It would seem most prudent for the President and his hopeful successors to stand up and lead during this crises. Americans expect someone to step up and be optimistic about our abiltiy to find a solution no matter how dire it might be in the interim. The opportunity to demonstrate leadership is now, I''ll vote for the first to step up!!!! Huckabee/Pickens 2008

- Panic sets in as the McCain campaign disintegrates. Why not just have Bush declare martial law? More reckless, impulsive and desperate reaction by a failing campaign. If he really wants to put country first, endorse Obama and get Bush out of there!

- Yesterday McCain said he didn''t think his vote should matter. I think McCain is panicking with his free fall in the polls and is looking for anything to change the subject.
The election will go on as scheduled. Obama should continue to make his case to the American people and call for calm. He has laid out very simple, strong principles for the strenthening of our economy in both the short and long term and will make sure that Main street will be stronger as the result. Obama needs to be out there, reassuring us that we can pull through this thing together and that he''s making sure we don''t get the short end of this deal.
McCain''s actions are not very confidence-inspiring, instead making us think this thing may be more serious than we previously thought. His actions are increasingly disturbing to me. Talk about lurching from crisis to crisis..... - Reply to this comment
- Obama called McCain at 0830, sept 24, suggesting they work together for a bi-partisan economic conclusion. McCain steals another idea, just like the Obama''s "change" idea, to try to score political points. McCain is such a phony it is outrageous and on top of it, he steals others ideas and takes full credit. Hypocrite!
There needs to be a poll asking the American people what they think....I bet most want the debate to go on. - Reply to this comment
- John mcCain is a dishonorable American who lies to the uS voter daily. The adulterer is a very poor example for our children.

- John McCain is a true American. He puts his country before his political career. He always has and always will. He has fought for this country and will continue to do so.

- Bernake and Paulson where on 27 different talk shows in the last 3 days. McCain has been aware of the situation for 2 weeks, but now 4 days before the debate - 40 days before the election of the most powerful position in the world, he wants to give the American people less information b/c he can''t spare an 1 1/2 on tv. Sorry I aint buyin what you sellin. Maybe the WA PO is right, maybe he has lost his mind.

- I agree, the debate this week should be changed to domestic issues and the debate should go on. The American people deserve to hear what their candidates have to say here. This move from the mcCain campaign smacks of the Bush administration. The American people deserve better than McCain.

- Yeah, McCain is dropping in the polls, Sarah is disgracing herself everywhere she goes, and this is nothing but a grandstand play to play for time.

- A reporter asked John McCain about the Keating 5 scandal this morning. Perhaps that has something to do with the decision to suspend the campaign and hide back in Washington.
