Hell yes the debate should continue. in the first place, McCain's help - - thanks but no thanks. He's the fool that authored the McCain-Graham bill 9 years ago that freed up all these bailed-out banks to invest in shaky real estate deals in the first place. In other words, this mess we're in? That's McCain's fault, either because he was too ignorant on the economy (believable, considering he admitted last week that he's an economic ignoramus), or too greedy, to see or care what would happen as a result.
I sure as hell don't want That guy fixing what he broke.
Second, as Obama pointed out, it isn't like there will be anything going on re: the bailout at the time of the debate. This is just an attempt by McCain to get out of having to actually answer questions. |
shakran, I'm glad you pointed this information out; I was hoping someone would bring it up.
The debate should go on, period. There is no reason to cancel it, and McCain's insistence that they do so feels like a cheap political ploy. Obama actually made a good point in his statement today about using the debate to discuss what the economic crisis means on the global stage, and the effect it will have on our place in the wider world.
