Debate

McCain says he may not debate tomorrow night. What is he afraid of? We all know that the government needs to make decisions on the bailouts. In truth, I thought that Obama and McCain should have been invited over the weekend to meet with Bush and Paulson to see what the options are. After all, one of them is going to be stuck with the results of the bailout, not Bush.

I agree that coming to a practical plan is important. I feel that Obama and McCain should make their contributions. But the truth of the matter is that neither one of them heads a senate committee that ties in directly to the bailout, so they can advise from a distance, they do not have to be in D.C.

Its forty days until the election. The the voters have the right to see our candidates in action. We need to hear them respond to real questions about the current world and home situations. To be a President you have to multi-task. You should be able to participate in a 90 minute debate and have aides to keep you informed of any crisis in the world.

Our economy is vital to everything our country does. You can not have much of a foreign policy if you do not have the cash to back it up. How our economy stands will determine what we can do outside our borders. After all, if there is no cash, we can not supply aide to Georgia, Afghanistan and other hard pressed allies.

I feel that a debate about foreign policy will have no problem incorporating a check on the status of the current economic situation. After all, nothing stands alone anymore, everything goes hand in hand.

McCain and Obama need to debate to allow the voters the opportunity to see how they act under pressure, what they know and do not know, and to see just how honest (or at least how honest they appear to be) they are in what they have to say.

I feel we would be better served if we could witness two debates a week until the election. Political commercials are junk, I don't believe any of them, or pay any attention to them. What I do pay attention to is how the candidate reacts responding to questions, especially if the commentators press for specifics.

Whoever wins this election is inheriting a mess and four hard years. We have to make sure the winner is the one we feel can do the job.

Let them talk, but ask specifics and let's make sure they are held accountable for the promises they make.

The President works for us - let's hire the best man for the job!!

Its Common Sense.
