Do Americans want another crisis to test them? Biden says a vote for Obama will invite an attack. It’s hard to believe he would say this… but he does. Why would Americans want to be the victims of another ‘crisis’/attack?

On the other hand, we have the Barack Obama camp seeing nothing wrong in the rants of the allegedly Christian and God-believing Jeremiah Wright.

Only one of these candidates seems suitable for the job of President. John McCain.

Catch another glimpse of Obama’s mentor and pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright. Obama’s judgment is very poor and it is clear that his choice of mentor/pastor/family friend means he cannot be the man to lead America in these troubling times.

CNN: Biden talks about GOP having economics “upside down” – at least they do not have their ticket upside down inexperienced, unproven candidate running for President…

Obama is seen here ridiculing the now famous Joe the Plumber. What is more, the Democratic crowd joined in the mockery. They are out of touch with America.

CNN: McCain Comeback

Report Card: McCain put in a fair performance but needs to up the ante in future debates. Obama knew his answers but did not connect with the people. Both can do better.

McCain seemed to be the overall winner by virtue of his attacking style in the debate, as compared to Obama’s rather defensive answers. Obama was on the back foot for much of the foreign policy part of the night owing to his lack of experience.

After this first debate, it seems unlikely either candidate will make a disastrous mistake in the debates to come, although Obama will have to be careful that his smug smirks and guffaws when McCain is speaking are not repeated.

By comparison, John McCain took action rather than carrying on with his political campaign as if nothing was happening. He has taken a risk in suspending his efforts to be President but, in doing so, he has demonstrated again to the American people, the American taxpayers, that he will put their interests first ahead of Wall Street “Greed is Good” companies, ahead of Washington politics, and ahead of his own interests.

The American people will remember this come 4th November. If they want a man of action, they will vote for John McCain.

It should come as no surprise that McCain is demonstrating Presidential judgement in deciding that a debate is a mere trifle compared with the economic problems facing the country at this time. It should be equally unsurprising that Obama is putting his campaign and his own personal success ahead of the prosperity of the country and of every American. No doubt, he thinks the average American can find refuge in their religion in these tough times.

It is time to demonstrate bipartisanship – Obama has rarely shown this quality compared with McCain who has consistently reached across to the opposition to broker deals that benefit every American.

McCain remains the real hero, a GI Joe turned President; Obama remains an Inaction Man.

The $700 billion bailout is controversial and requires bipartisan agreement. John McCain is the man to unite the parties and encourage the politicians to be prepared to compromise, if necessary, in order to salvage the economy.

John McCain puts his country first once again. He has made a clear decision that is risky; it might detrimentally affect his campaign. For McCain, the future of America and the plight of every American is far more important right now that his efforts to be President. This is a clear example of the leadership and principled outlook that America and the world needs.
