Can you believe McCain would rather do his job as senator than campaign and debate?

It's not like we're facing a crisis or being asked to pony up seven billion dollars.

Wasn't he elected to run for president? Obama knows that running for president is his job, not being a senator from Illinois!
 
No, McCain lied about being a hero, he has been a traitor his whole life. He has had women support him. His convention was going to be a diasater when people saw how empty it was cause most republicans hate his guts. So he made a big deal out of the storm & acted like others didn't come because of that. This man isn't fit for anything except a nursing home.
 
McCain, who has openly stated that he knows nothing about the economy is all of a sudden concerned with the economy? Just a couple of weeks ago, he was stating that the economy was fundamentally strong.

Are you sure this is the man you want to fix our crises?
 
Can you believe it, John McCain actually cares about America. And that loser Obama is saying it was all his idea. I really don't care who's idea it was, just fix it. So that us Americans don't have to pay an additional $10,000 in taxes. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.
 
LOL. You just bought a bridge. Either senator can arrange to be in Washington for a vote, they actually know when their scheduled and Mr. 7 houses can actually afford air fair
 
Half the Obama crowd are claiming Obama had the idea first, and half are claiming McCain's a coward.

1/2 + 1/2 = Obama's a coward
 
um..... he is still a Senator whether he is running for president or not. he has a job to do.
 
They are both dodging the debates. They are playing a game of chess. One slip-up in a debate could lose you the election. Who would want to go through that? Neither one of them are any good at it so it will either be very boring or very entertaining.
 
I don't know...McCain is the one who said the fundamentals of the economy are sound, so there CAN'T be a crisis, right? I mean, unless McCain is an idiot that doesn't know what he's talking about.
And its so odd that McCain would want to suddenly return to Congress NOW, since the economy is doing so well and considering the fact he hasn't been there since MARCH. It couldn't have ANYTHING to do with the fact that he is woefully unprepared to debate Obama in an event that wouldn't occur until well after the senate recessed for the night. It MUST be that suddenly, he has discovered some magical solution to the financial crisis that can ONLY be revealed during the hours that the debate would be held. Yeah...that must be it.
 
McCain is just trying to get brownie points since the economy is hurting his status in the polls.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I mean he is trying to win but.............C'mon man you had to know that.
 
YES, HE SHOULD WANT TO DO THAT JOB. THAT IS THE JOB HE WILL BE DOING FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS.

THIS IS A PURE POLITICAL MOVE. MCCAIN IS USING THE CURRENT STATE OF OUR NATION AS A JOKE. HE IS JUST NOT PREPARED. HE WANTS A DECISION TO BE MADE ABOUT THIS BEFORE THE DEBATE BECAUSE HE KNOWS OBAMA HAS THE ADVANTAGE ON THIS ISSUE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO ARGUE ONE WAY AND THEN HAVE A DECISION MADE THAT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE JUST SAID IN THE DEBATES. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIS STANCE ON NOT WITHDRAWING THE TROOPS.

NEWSFLASH: RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS NOT A GAME OF POKER. GROW UP MCLAME!
 
Its a political stunt and that is all it is.... By the way 700 billion bail out for the wall st gamblers!!!
 
I believe the President can handle his business. McCain is scared and is trying to buy time. He said last week the economy was fundamentally sound. I'd like him to stay out of it and man up and debate Obama. Obama-Biden 08
 
McCain going to Washington is going to make about 0% difference in the economic problems. This is a classic GOP ploy meant to make Obama look less patriotic. Yes I said it, McCain is using your economic hardships to gain in the election. Country first right? Oh wait...
 
He was nominated to run for president by his party.
there are 534 other members of congress that can oversee the bailout.

It shows me that he either doesn't know how to delegate (not a good trait for a president), or this was just a political stunt to get out of debating Obama.
 
I'm sure you are aware McCain has not stepped foot into the Senate since March. I'm also sure you are aware that he has the worst attendance record of any Senator, even missing more time than the Senator who brain surgery.

Truth is he doesn't give a damn it's all just a political ploy.

You are such an idiot, mccain actually wants to do something to benefit everyone that is work on our economy,obama needs to do the same but that would actually mean he has to sign off on some legislation. It would prove his lack of knowledge and he would have to show where he stands on the economy and working for the american people. Dont forget he is still a senator even though he has never done anything seeing as he has been running for president the whole time.
 
No, I can't believe it. He hasn't shown up on the Senate floor since March. And that was to vote to extend the stupid Iraq War and to cut veterans' benefits. That's not the President we deserve.
