Here's my take on this, while I'm glad that at least one of the candidates want sot finally focus on this Huge mess of a "bailout" which I have no illusions that will no matter who is elected burden the next president and us all for many many years. From a pure political standpoint it's a brilliant move on the part of John McCain. It gives him the appearence of being proactive to what is one of the Biggest issues facing this country in a VERY VERY long time. It's a very risky move as well, if he goes to Washington after having suspended his campaign and nothing gets done or it's percieved as a big giveaway then not only has he suspended his campaign effort and given the ground to Obama he has lost the election in my opinion. If however, he goes there and it emerges that John McCain goes to Washington to work on a program that will stimulate the economy and Obama is percieved as being too focused on winning the White House and not what is the biggest issue of our time then it will backfire on Obama. I think from the Obama standpoint they would not do well to, call McCain out on the debate issue, but rather take a wait and see attitude. It will just enforce my earlier assesment if McCain goes to the Hill and this bailout passes and the economy picks up.
Funny because everyone here at work is laughing at this "move" by John McCain. This is a joke. And people are starting to figure out that this "imminent problem" is just like the Saddam threat was 6 years ago.
In each case, the solution should not have been and should not be to give the GOP $20 billion a month for 6 years or $700 billion all at once and not hold them accountable for where the money goes. Bush didn't have to ask for a lump sum back when he started the Iraq war because he knew he had 6 years to drain the treasury. But now he only has 2 months, so he needs $700billion, and your dumb ass is going to give it to him.
YOu sir, are a douch bag just like the other sheeple on this site.
And that's my take on it.
