You should be more concerned at the moment with the mess we're in. Even Obama acknowledges that there are times when there is no room for politics, and now is one of those times. However he has not yet agreed to put off the debate with McCain.

The topic for this Friday does not cover economic policy but rather foreign. Which is McCains strong point and Obama's weak point. McCain stands nothing to gain by delaying this debate.

Motives aside the president and congress need to SERIOUSLY address this issue. It is not something that can be put on hold with Friday being the proposed deadline for the bail out.
