McCain's a bit full of himself if he thinks he is so important to the solution that he needs to put the election on hold while he goes and rescues us. From what I have seen of both their statements regarding what they want to see in a deal, it is pretty much the same, and pretty much the same as what EVERYONE is saying, except for those that want NO deal at all.
Last I checked both McCain and Obama were part of the election. Last I checked they were both senators.. last I checked they were both going to be in a debate on friday. So does it not make sense that McCain is trying to coordinate with the Obama Campaign as well as the presidential debate people in order to delay the debates to get a resolution?

Full of himself? More like going through the proper channels to put priorities first and everything else on the back burner temporarily.

Though you didn't necessarily say anything bad about McCain you refuse to acknowledge the obvious which cannot be denied. BOTH of these candidates need to put the campaign on hold so that they can do THEIR JOB!

I don't see that as McCain being full of himself.


So what is Super Maverick going to do when he gets there? Push aside the comittee members whose job it is to work out this deal and say "I'm in charge and this is how it's gonna go?" It's BS. He and Obama are not much more important than any of the other senators on this issue, and they are LESS important than the committee members actually working on it. Believe me, they'll call him if they need him.
No they're not more important but their in the middle of an election. He proposes they put that on hold and get back to congress and DO THEIR JOB!

Do you not understand that they still have an obligation as senators and McCain is asking Obama, as a senator, to go back to washington to do their jobs.

I don't feel there is anything wrong in that, but if you want to paint McCain as a badguy then by all means go for it. It seems that instead of realizing the obvious you would rather misinterpret the intentions of his statement.

Political move or not, he is more or less saying let's go back and do our jobs over this CRITICAL issue.

If you can't see that then I can't explain it any further because you will just want to view it as pointless when it is anything but the sort.
