I generally agree with your statement here, however I do think it is the job of true leaders to take a stand , be involved, and act in a proactive manner. If we are in a "melt down" (which I think is more psychological than anything else), I want to know who is going to show leadership, I want to know who is willing to take an unpopular stand doing what needs to be done regardless of political consequences. Real or not McCain simply out maneuvered Obama on this issue up to this point - assuming legislation is passed or agreed upon prior to Friday evening.
