Barrack the least experienced in the room. Maybe he got a chance to daydream and continue his fantasy about being president. And hey, Ex-Republican for Obama - If you'd like to stick your head out of the clouds you can read any number of stories that say Barrack was part of the group that tanked legislation which would have stopped all this mess. Legislation incidentally co-sponsored by McCain. If Obama's the savior, I don't wanna be saved...and neither do any other decent minded hard working people.

We can figure out how to get out of debt and jump-start the economy with that kind of cash, don't you think? The mortgage crisis was brought about by the jobs-loss crisis...the one spurred the other. Better to create jobs than to print money...let's hear about those ideas.

Last month he said he was punishing Obama for not doing town hall with him by running false ads against him. Now he suspends his campaign and expects Obama to respond and if he doesn't he will not label him a leader. McCain is not Obama's father as to dictate to him how to run his capaign. Each runs his campaign as he sees fit. I guess McCain is running his campaign like his foreign policy ideas where doesn't have enough strategy but tactics to win.

He isn't on any committees dealing with it. Republicans win on characterizations and generalizations, not fact, which is why he is avoiding at all costs a forum in which facts will have to come out. What is he going to do in DC during that two hours of the debate that is more important than fleshing out the issues of choosing the next leader of the free world?
