Senator John McCain is correct. He and Senator Barack Obama should
return to
Washington to do the jobs we are paying them to do instead of
participating in a political reality show called a debate. The
place for two United States Senators to debate during an economic
crisis is on the floor of the United States Senate. They can present
their views about what to do and attempt to gain support from their
fellow Senators.

Someone who cannot demonstrate leadership as a Senator will not be able
to do so as President.

They can participate in one of those debates anytime. At present their
responsibility is to take care of the business (TCB) they being paid to
take care of as United States Senators. If Obama didn't want to
continue being a Senator while he ran for president he should have done
the honorable thing and resigned like Bob Dole did when he ran for
president in 1996.

Obama doesn't want to TCB in the Senate. He prefers being a celebrity
who
goes around making speeches to adoring crowds because he likes to hear himself talk.

Would you promote someone who spends all his time talking about what he
would do if promoted instead of taking care of business in his current
job? Getting legislation through Congress is one of the president's most important jobs. Appearing on talk shows isn't.

Does Obama
want to merely talk about some vague change or does he
actually want to produce changes? Perhaps Obama doesn't want to
return to the Senate to do his job because he has done such a lousy job
as Senator.

If Obama wants to play the spoiled brat who has to have his way
about a debate, perhaps McCain's running mate Gov. Sarah
Palin can stand in for McCain while McCain TCB's in
the Senate.
