Hmmmm? Actually, I don't smell 'stunt'. I do smell 'leadership' and a strong whiff of 'Country First'. What's that wafting over from the Obama camp? 'Fear'? 'Apathy'? It sure as hell ain't 'Change'! Maybe we NEED a Stunt-man and not an Actor. Hmmmm?

Actually, I don’t smell ’stunt’. I do smell ‘leadership’ and a strong whiff of ‘Country First’.

What’s that wafting over from the Obama camp? ‘Fear’? ‘Apathy’? It sure as hell ain’t ‘Change’!

An interesting time to see if Senator Obama can put his country first above his own arrogance and stop
the campaigning for his own person power greedy
ambition.

Not much HOPE for him to CHANGE in that regard.

Better to wait until the whole thing has settled down a bit and everyone has a better perspective on what has happened.

NBC on the other hand had Matt Lauer and Meredith Veira declaring that McCain's move was just a political stunt. Interesting contrast! Also bad move by Letterman last night to use footage from CBS Evening News to support his ridiculous rant about McCain cancelling on him. Does he really think that yucking it up on his show trumps helping to solve a major financial crisis. What a maroon.....

There is a presidential campaign going on, so yes the politics of that comes into play with the politics of Senatorial work. McCain put the campaign politics aside, while calling Obama on it. Obama is stuck on the campaign politics, and clearly has no idea how to work in a bi-partisan fashion to function in the politics as a sitting senator. Why, because all of his experience has been manufactured under other senators names; giving him credit where none is due. No, a pretty speech will not fix this one.

He is showing leadership and although it may be partially political, I don't think that's the whole reason he's going back to Washington. I truly think the man really cares about his country. Obama on the other hand, couldn't care less. He has shown it in the way he runs his campaign and in the way he reacts to a crisis. That he is a candidate for president shocks me every day. That he actually has a chance of winning, makes me sick to my stomach. John McCain is doing the right thing.
