Our Tax Dollars At Work?

With the big financial crisis looming over our heads and country about to go into a recession/depression if something is not done fast, shouldn't all of our leaders be in Washington, DC to work this thing out? After all, isn't that what we are paying them to do? If we were being paid to handle management decisions and a crisis arose, wouldn't our bosses expect us to do the same? If we didn't, we would be fired. So why is Obama still out campaigning when this is one of the biggest decisions to face our nation since the Great Depression? Because McCain beat him to it. By suspending his campaign and calling for Obama to do the same, McCain beat him to the punch. If he goes to Washington & suspends his campaign, he will look like a follower. If he stays away he looks like he is putting his campaign ahead of the country. It's called politicking, and Obama is the best at it. He still wants the debate about foreign policy to on as scheduled tomorrow night even though the country may fail. What he needs to do is get his butt to D.C. and work this thing out. That's what he being paid to do. Now is his chance to come up with some great bill that will not only stabilize the country, but bring it back to greatness. He has the unique opportunity to show us the "change" he can make as President. The problem is that he realizes this and can't come up with "The Great Compromise" because he has never had to do it in the past. He gets in and gets out before anything bad can happen and people find out just what type of leader he is. He did the same thing in Chicago, Illinois, and now the Senate. Get in and move up as quickly as possible. He has used the war effort as a platform for bringing our soldiers home because too many are dying in Iraq. Well Mr. Obama, more Americans have died on the streets of Chicago this year than in all of Iraq (compare 1 US city to a whole nation). Has he done anything about that situation? No, and he is not willing to do anything now.

Mr. Obama, get to work--now!!!
