So it seems that Senator McCain is going to Washington, without being invited, in order to insert himself in the bailout negotiations. And he says that if they don't come up with a solution by Friday, he won't go to the presidential debate. This has me wondering - how will he be able to be President Of The United States? Doesn't the President have to deal with a dozen or so concerns every day, many of which interweave with each other...?
Anyone see this as an easy litmus test for those seeking the office of the Presidency? Heck, even if he were just running for reelection to his Senatorial seat, this would make me hesitate.

I heard that bush invited both nominees to discuss the goings-on = he prob wants to fill them in on the dillio before he retires to his secret hide-away bunker under n. korea
is this the beginning of the end of the economy
or is this the beginning of the nwo when all the nations are vested in americas success
will there be a new currency in the americas-the amero
are the elites attacking the u.s. treasury and reserves to cripple the govt and gain complete control of the monies and markets
700 billion = negative 10 percent to the dollar; hooray!
I don't think the Democrats or the Republicans are working in the country's best LONG TERM financial interests.
The $700 Billion bailout solves a short term problem, but adds to an ever growing national budget deficit that (in my opinion) will cause a major economic problem in the long run.
An interesting comment about the bailout from commentator Glenn Beck: We are privatizing gains and socializing losses.
Both major candidates' tax plans will INCREASE the national debt ...
From www.taxpolicycenter.org ...
"Including interest costs, Obama’s tax plan would boost the debt by $3.5 trillion by 2018. McCain’s plan would increase the debt by $5 trillion on top of the $2.3 trillion increase that the Congressional Budget Office forecasts for the next decade."
I'd be a lot happier if the major parties and their candidates were willing to make some hard financial decisions now rather than just add to the deficit and let some future administration pick up the pieces (this is exactly what Bush is doing to the next administration ... and I fear the next administration will continue to "pass it on" rather than deal with it).
