Glad McCain is Taking this Seriously

On September 24th, Senator McCain said, "We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved."

He was "hired" by the American Taxpayers to be a voice in Congress. I appreciate that he is taking that responsibility seriously and is willing to suspend the presidential campaign in order to work on this financial crisis. I don't always agree with him and I am more conservative than he is. But McCain has warned Congress in the past that this kind of financial crisis could happen and he has spent his career crossing political lines to do what he's thought is right for our country.

However, Obama is way over to the left on his politics - far from what I believe is true and correct. Further, he talks about "change" in Washington but has done little in Congress to bring it about. It appears that even now, with the crisis at hand, he's unwilling to do much about it.

I'm not worried about the debates. McCain did very well at the Saddleback Church compared to Obama. Senator McCain also asked Obama to participate in several town hall meetings months ago. Obama refused. Some questioned how well Obama would be able to perform in an open town hall meeting. I don't know - we never got a chance to see.

Thank you, Senator McCain, for consistently being a leader, even if we don't always agree.
