Should the campaign and Friday's debate be suspended because of the economy?
 

Yes. If you are gunning for the top spot, you should lead; be part of the solution; lead by example, not by words.

I don't mean to be overly sarcastic
but where's the "I don't care button"

Looking at the link that was provided
it appears that the poll is based on politics.
If that's the case then in my view the extra
button would have been nice.

You are correct, sir.

Michelle, or any other admin, could you add the "I don't care button" for Quick?

Why suspend anything....presidents deal with multiple issue. Has McCain ever heard of multi-tasking......this is a great sign of things to come if he is elected :thumbdown ..........Phil

I think it's important for the public to hear the candidates and they should not delay the debates. IMO they should go to washington, do whatever they do there and then go to mississippi or wherever and conduct the debate.

If the rigor of doing both on the same day is too much, then there is much to be concerned about. As president they'll have many days more difficult to manage and more issues to face than this.

updated poll ;)

IMO, I don't think a lot of people understand how serious this situation is.

Thanks.

We will never be faced with one problem at a time. The problem we face are mulit-facet, and we should be manage them in such a manner.
This is becoming ridiculous, did we just discover multi-tasking?

What's "multi-tasking"?!





Oh, yeah...now I remember: that stuff I did when
I worked. :rofl:


Imo, Neither of those bums could run a two kid day care
center or, a two car a day car wash. Their combined
biz/managing experience is less than most 3rd year
sales people, imo. :rolleyes:

Please. One trillion dollars of tax payer money on the line and some of you think a stupid debate over foreign policy is more important.

McCain or Obama will take over as President in a few months and I personally can't think of anything more important than what is going on right now in Washington.

McCain stop the campaign and let's put aside the election and do our job for America.

Obama...The Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid have my number and they can call me if they need me.

Please.

I can't understand why Mr. McCain can't do both. :dunno:
But i guess It's tough when your too old to cut the
mustard. :D
Maybe some of us geezers round here
can teach him how to cut a rug....... :rofl:

A president does not have to know how to run a car wash or day care. He does need an idea of what he hopes from those businesses and then hires people who know all about car washes and kids to run them in his vision.

The president may have no idea of the suds cycle or the latest diapers, nor should he, but he can check out the finished cars and inspect the day care facility, and talk to the owners and parents. He can have his accountants check the books. If it all sucks, he should hire new managers.

We should hope that our president does expect a good washing and day care experience for us citizens. I would like a visionary who will try to upgrade the wash plant so it is better, faster, uses less water, etc. I would like to see the day care center become more accessible and be a great place for the kids.

So, I'll go for the visionary and progressive smart guy. There are millions of competent and committed people who, if hired, will keep everything running great as long as the president is involved and committed.

It is more important for the day care personnel to have experience in dealing with kids than it is for the president to have experience mopping the floors.

He's one up on you Quick. Why do both when you can put politics aside and yet score political points.

Part of the game is taking an upper hand by placing your opponent on his heels and having him react to your game plan.

So far you will have to admit McCain has made some bold moves and kept things close in an otherwise landslide for Obama after the Bush fiasco.

What i can admit to is that if you need Specific examples in McCains 26 years of pushing for more regulation. Sarah palin will try to find you some and bring it to ya......:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That's OK...Biden already admitted that Obama should have chosen Hillary. I'd say in an even match between the two I'll choose the better looking one.

You mean Hillary
or Palin???

You need a brake today....:popcorn:

I'd take Palin or Hillary over Biden in terms of good looks. Hillary is not my type but Palin could be. :D What say you?

None of them thank you.
Iv'e spent 30 years with a princess,
It just don't get any better than this. :thumbup:

Would that be disc or drum? :nanana:

Hmm, aren't they both SENATORS? Yes, they should stop to deal with the problems their country has currently. Their job is to their state, not to their new "could be" role.

O'Reilly said it best:

"Both McCain and Obama can kiss any entitlement or tax promises good-bye."

IMO, it does look like Obama punked McCain out in this situation. He is the one who initiated that the two parties get together and cooperate for the better of the county in the first place. Then when McCain tried to take the lead on something and suggested postponing the debates, Obama smacked him in the face. It was good strategy, IMO. Plus, everyone knows that Obama's bread and butter is speaking in the national spotlight, so why would he want to postpone the debate? On the other hand, I see why McCain would.

Maybe its hard for him since he is getting older?

carlgo, you mistook my facetiousness and disdain for either candidate.

My point was not that either should know how to run those specific
kinds of businesses. :rolleyes: My opin is that we constantly get life
long politicos as our "choices" and that neither 'Bama or McPain have
ever done the kind of "normal", regular, "understood" kinds of efforts
in any kind of business environment.

Career politicians are what we are fed everyday for nearly every office
on any ballot. If that's what we have all come to expect and accept,
shame on us, imo. I don't mean that JoeBizMan is necessarily ready to
be Prez, but the continual layers of politicians vs real world working
experience people is a sad case, imo.

My previous constant table pounding remains: in a country with a third of
a billion people, we had that ugly dozen "running" and it has boiled down
to Obama and McCain. That suggests that no one outside of the standard
political process, and without a lengthy political career, has any chance
of being elected past a very parochial, local level.

My opin is that is wrong and offers few real "choices", does nothing to promote
more effective government, (their is an oxymoron), and continually and perpetually
saddles us with the more of the same kind of political "leadership".
Thus we have and get, what it is...
BR,mD

Edit/added: back on topic, sorta: O & M should show up for the debate. This isn't
that tough of an assignment, imo.
