McCain's Political Theater?
| Wed, 09-24-2008 - 3:39pm |
I think McCain's "suspension" of his campaign to go to DC and sit around while Congress hammers out a bailout plan is just political theater. I am not sure that McCain's presence is required at all. He will need to vote on a bill either way, but he can fly in, vote and be back on the trail. Also, I think postponing the debate is another political stunt. You know, "country first." Our country's representatives cannot work on this program without McCain and his campaign lobbyists sitting there sounds a bit ridiculous. I think this political theater will play well to the base, but I think it makes McCain look like he cannot multi-task well enough to campaign then go vote on a bill.

It is his job as a senator to go to Washington and try to work this out - especially now, when our country is in crisis. This is what he and Obama SHOULD be doing. How can they expect to be trusted to lead America if they won't even stop their self centered posturing long enough to try to correct this mess?
ITA!
I think that there will be a bi-partisan oversight committee to this ridiculous bail-out, but I don't think we're looking at an actual "department."

It seems to me that they can't do anything until the committee decides on something to take to the floor of the Senate, at which point McCain and Obama can do something.
I agreed with chilly but actually, you do have a good point...so I guess I'll change my mind & agree with you.
It won't be a long debate, so he should be only to glad to kick Obama's butt.
Well, to be honest, I'd be glad if he did, too!
