Treasury's Bailout Proposal

So . . . have you actually read it? If you haven't, here it is. Get ready to be furious when you get a load of Section 8.

As for John McCain's noble and self-less offer to suspend his campaign and postpone the debate so that he can go to Washington to deal with the crisis? If I were Obama, I would say something like this:

"Senator McCain has said that he is suspending his campaign and wishes to postpone our Friday night debate, so that he can go back to Washington to deal with the financial crisis. Well, if he is going back to Washington to step back into his role as a Senator, I might remind him that there are 98 other senators besides him and myself.

But as our parties' respective nominees, the two of us have a greater responsibility right now. It is my job and Senator McCain's job to stand before the American people and answer their questions about how, if elected President, each of us would lead America forward in the face of these difficult challenges. That is why I plan to be at the debate on Friday, to answer questions and lay my solutions out before the American people. I hope that Senator McCain will be there, too."
