Bail Out?

I seem to be in a minority here...I am one of the few who support a "bail out", as it is called.

That doesn't mean that I support the bill in it's current form. I won't lie, I have no idea what is going on in it. Legislative language is pretty confusing, and even I have trouble walking through it. I don't know who is getting what, when, or how.

I do know, though, that something has to be done. We cannot just watch as our economy crumbles around us, sending a butterfly effect across the globe. Just tonight it was announced that a major mortgage lender in the UK is being nationalized and sold. Did that just happen coincidentally? I think not.

I think that John McCain made the right decision on Thursday by suspending his campaign. He is still a US Senator, no matter what other office he is running for. if Senator Obama wanted to shirk his duties while running for higher office, he should have appointed someone to take his post in the Senate and do the work he was elected to do. His argument that the President needs to "multitask" was completely futile. How was Obama multitasking? He was out doing what he has been doing for months. He had just enough time to show up at the White House for a photo op, then jet back out onto the campaign trail.

So, who really wants to fix our nation? The man who potentially sacrifices his presidential campaign to go back to DC to do the job he was elected to do and to get the job done, or the guy who stays on the trail, mocking the decision of his opponent, and offering no viable solutions for the problem at hand?
