Meltdown

McCain suspends his campaign and cancels his appearance at the debate on Friday. 
Obama continues his campaign and has said he will still appear at the
debate on Friday.  Is one side playing politics with this financial
crisis?  Actually, I think they both are, to some extent.  McCain
obviously wants to appear like he is the Man in Charge and that the
campaign will have to wait because the Country needs him now.  But you
have to keep in mind that economics is not McCain's strong suite.  The
debate was supposed to be on National Security
and Foreign Affairs, which is his strong suite.  But with the financial
crisis all that has been in the news lately McCain's campaign is
wanting to push back this debate to a later date when hopefully
National Security will be given more attention.  Since this crisis
began McCain has fallen in the polls.  Most now show Obama either ahead
or tied, whereas previously he was behind.  Obama knows he can gain
momentum from this and is trying to act as presidential as possible,
while not really supplying any answers on how to solve this problem.  I
guess its just the nature of the beast that in the middle of a Presidential election there is just no way to completely remove politics, even during a time of national crisis.
