Dont get too distracted with debates and bailouts.

I don't think he said he wouldn't vote, but based on their schedules they most likely would not.

The bailout vote might fall this Friday. I think the understanding is that they need to do it this week because when financial markets open on Monday, some bad stuff might happen.

That really makes me wonder why McCain was talking about Obama's responce towards this financial sitiuation in which Obama wanted to look at the facts before making a decision unlike how McCain threw out his talking points right away. McCain used that period of indecisiveness to compare that towards the number of times in which Obama has voted 'present' in his career. He said: "Obama can't vote 'present' when you are the president",
...but McCain can just 'suspend' being president... I don't get the difference.

Obama called this something like the biggest financial crisis since the great depression. I think something that dire needs to be the most important period. Both Obama and McCain need to be there and have thier hands on this since one of them will live with this for 4 or 8 years. That way neither can bitch in a few years and say I had no part in it this was not my fault if it does not work out. I do not like the hands off approach of Obama I like a leader who will roll up their sleeves and get to work. It makes me wonder how Obama would act as president when there is a major crisis. Is he going to let others make the decisions like he is now. Or is he going to show real leadership and get his hands dirty and do some heavy lifting. McCain might not be good with economy but he is damn good at getting people of opposite sides to work together and that is what we need right now.

Then why is he there? What is he going to do in these meetings, make coffee and pizza runs everyday for the economists? You're a brainwashed fool if you think McCain is doing this for any other reasons other than political. His own chief financial adviser said our country was a nation of whiners when it came to economy and he himself last week said the fundamentals of our 'economy are strong'. This financial meltdown blows up in recent days and McBigot starts seeing his numbers sliding in the polls, and NOW all of a sudden he realizes our economy is in shambles? Bullshit. Seriously, what is a man with no grasping of how the economy works going to help fix a crisis like this? And why must he drop everything he's doing, cant he walk and chew gum at the same time like any real president would do?
This guy reminds me of the one the IT guys at my last job. He was paid a high salary but technically didnt know as much as the others but whenever we had some kind of migration going on during off production hours he'd always be there, and 'try' to be part of it even though he did nothing other than bring food. The only reason the guy came was to keep his job and have something to put on a self review come raise time.
America does not care for pussies

Personally I wish more people would come to our system upgrades during off hours. It is nice to have extra help if shit does not go right. Nothing worse than being short handed in a time of need. I can find something usefull for anyone in my IT department to do when shit goes bad. That is just me I like to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.
