In a week of continued financial unrest and anxiety, I would like make sure that the person who inherits this mess is confident, strong enough to be able to take on more than one problem, understanding to listen to all sides to see how to fix the problem, and offers a soft, but firm voice enough to assure the rest of us so we all don't go into a huge panic. Unfortunately for McCain and Palin, Obama came off more to be that person than both of them combined. McCain is falling into desperation mode and like what Letterman said on his show, it stinks.

There are 50 Hail Marys in a rosary and McCain is trying to taking all of them in a short period of time (not a good sign). McCain's first Hail Mary was to pick Palin to be his VP. And look at what karma is doing with her. Palin looks like a scared puppy compared to the rest of the world leaders. She is being protected by the McCain campaign from any kind of questioning (not a good sign). From weak amount of interviews she's done, she can't really answer a question in complete sentences, fires back at questions she doesn't like by calling them elitist and calling them attacks against "normal and ordinary" American citizens. Amongst all of that she still says that she has accurate foreign policy experience because of where she lives in Alaska, but at the same time, just got a passport last year.I am all for a woman in the White House (I love Hillary) but to put this woman there is an insult to all women. A woman really has to be this incompetent to be in the White House? Talk about the glass ceiling crashing on us.

His second Hail Mary was to delay a much needed president debate when we have just about a month left until the national election and that he would only debate if a deal was quickly resolved. That Hail Mary definitely backfired by two things: 1) A lie which he said he would head over to D.C. to confront the financial bailout when he was actually still in New York (David Letterman has the proof of that) 2) The unexpected civil war between congressional republicans. McCain arrived to a surprisingly broken up Republican party. What makes his presence in D.C. also meaningless is that McCain probably doesn't have a clue on what the bailout is about. He's not on any financial committees and from my understanding, he's doesn't had any time to read up and catch up on it. The notion that there was a meeting between McCain, President Bush, Pelosi, Paulson, Obama, and other congressional leaders with Obama talking the Treasury secretary with many questions while McCain stayed silent shows something to me. That Obama is trying to understand what is going on and by asking so many questions, he is trying to help as best he can. That doesn't show stupidity, it shows the effort to learn, and understand. Staying silent is a time of crisis does nothing and in McCain's case of being silent, it did nothing.

I don't understand why people continue to support McCain and Palin when they are repeatedly showing how they are not effective for the job at hand (I've listened to them both equally in the conventions and individual speeches). Whomever becomes president is going to have to inherit all of the messes that Bush made in the last 8 years. We need someone who has a stronger set of shoulders and backbone than Bush and Cheney ever did and Obama is showing himself as they person in subtle ways (which is actually very effective). McCain can't do what he did earlier and suspend one thing in order to do something else. That narrow minded thinking is dangerous with consequences that can effect all of us. Sorry, McCain the world still keeps going on without you. How is Palin supposed to be the support when she can't even support herself. What happened to the Pit Bull with lipstick? Sounds like she has a leash now. I used to hate her, but now I honestly pity her. I pity them both on their bridge to nowhere.

I saw these on Huffington Post and then I saw them on the Wall Street Journal website. If this is for real, the McCain Campaign is the biggest bunch of desperate idiots I have ever seen. Seriously, I'm with the other poster who wonders if someone is trying to sabotage him (or even Obama if you really want to get paranoid) or if McCain and his Pit Bull with lipstick even know what their campaign is doing on the job. Are they really that careless to release an ad so early? (I have a feeling a lot of people are going to say yes after the last few days)

Keep screwing up McCain Campaign! It just helps Obama even more.

I've been writing about McCain for most of the day and I'm just too tired to keep writing about badly he is unfit to serve. This week has been a nice demonstration of that. Think of this performance on a bigger scale if he is elected president. I think enough is said there.

It's funny how a s*#t load of money will make specific groups of people become the strangest bedfellows and enemies. The dispute between congressional republicans over the bailout was a surprise to me. Seeing every day citizens who consider themselves Republicans become angry at members of their admired party is bizarre. As a registered member of the Democratic party, I'm used to people within my party fighting and members of the Republican party be proud and stand together (especially for McCain nowadays). Now the opposite has happened. The world is changing people.
