Commander In Chief

Today John McCain decided to suspend his campaign and go to Washington. He also wants to delay the Friday debate and attend the hearings taking place over the greatest bailout in our history!

Here's what I think and I wonder why no one in the press has thought of this. I think McCain does not want the debate to take place because he knows he and his close republican friends are guilty of the economic crisis we are facing. If you recall, he is noted for deregulation. I believe he wants to hide under a rock or in one of his 8 or 9 mansions. Maybe he would like to take a quiet trip in one of his 13 cars? I get it; he wants to put country first by appearing in person hoping this move will make Obama look bad somehow even though it is his policies that got us to this point in our history.

Meanwhile Sara Palin said in an interview she doesn't want Congress to point fingers. That's because she also knows it is her party that created this outrageous mess by removing and changing the rules in the financial markets.

So McCain clearly want this current crisis behind him before he debates or he will face many questions he knows he don't want to answer. So why has the press miss this point? Is it because they forgot that they really are the news media? Is it because they don't want to question his motives in fear of the right wing backlash?

So is this guy who wants to be our Commander In Chief having a problem dealing with the reality of 26 years of policies he pushed and supported that has lead us to the brink of a complete melt down?
