Presidential Democratic candidate Obama declares the present turmoil in financial markets to be the worst crisis our country faces since the Great Depression and after sounding the general alarm that millions of Americans and the country are facing imminent financial devastation and ruin in his very next breath says "call me, if you need me".
Well golly gee Sir, should that be at the beginning, middle, or when the last light is turned out? Do you not understand the meaning of the word "depression" when you invoke it to express the gravity of the problem and what it demands in leadership?
The irony is absolutely astounding...Obama, Pelosi, Barny Frank and the rest of the Democrats are pushing to saddle the American taxpayer with 700 Billion (what will prove ultimately to be only a tiny downpayment for the bailout) in debt for an ill and hastily conceived plan by the Bush Administration - the VERY people who they have roundly and repeatedly condemned as being responsible for the financial disaster in the first place!
What remains true to form is the courage, conviction and decisivenees of John McCain who immediately suspended his campaign and returned to Washington and his Senate duties to help resolve the debate and insure that America's taxpayers were not screwed one more time because the "Paulson Plan" with its Obama/Democrat "socialism" tinkering does not adequately protect innocent taxpayers.
Once again, regardless of the political consequence to himself, personally, McCain demonstrates his willingness to tell Washington and the President they're wrong and that they are promoting an action that will hurt Americans and America for a very long time to come.
In standing unengaged, merely "staying in touch" with Congress, as Bush did with emergency planners and officials before and after destruction was wrought on New Orleans during its crisis, is this not the aloof Obama's own "Katrina" moment?
