McCain - Above the Fray?
Is anybody else sick of McCain and his attempts at looking as if he is above the pettiness of partisan politics? First it was his rescue efforts for Gustav, and now he is trying to delay the scheduled debate with Obama on Friday because “We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved,” to help insure that the economic crisis gets taken care of. I don’t know if the old dog realizes that he nor Obama are the President yet, and neither of them has complete control over what is happening. Yes, they can go to the Senate floor and put forth a proposal and cast a vote, but the Bush Administration has to deal with this first. Isn’t McCain the same guy who basically said Obama chickened out to his town hall debates, and now he is looking to back out of this hugely advertised and televised debate? And is the one hour of debate time, on a Friday, going to take that much of McCain’s attention away from the economic crisis that he cannot focus on both? Is he too old to multi-task? If so then I do not know if he is fit for the President. If this is a sign of what his presidency would be like—stalling, procrastination, aversion—then the United States is in for four more long years. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080924/ap_on_el_pr/mccain

If you can’t multi-task, you’re not fit to be a Senator, let alone President. This is a cheap political gimmick, and should be treated as such.
I hope that people realize that McCain will never be able to solve that crisis simply because he is part of the system that set it off.
