John McCain Can’t Hold Up During a Crisis

John McCain continues to assure the American people that he is not ready to become president and this time, instead of campaigning and assuring us that if he became president he would know how to take care of such a crisis, he is postponing his campaign and “focusing on the financial crisis.”

I wonder what “focusing” means, since we all know how he has focused on crises in the past (ie partying with Bush on his birthday while Katrina devastated the lives of thousands of Americans.) By showing up for the presidential debate against Obama, continuing with his campaign and focusing on the financial crisis is what we call multi-tasking and I believe that as president, you will be expected to multi-task pretty much every day of your presidency and McCain has just proven to us that he can’t. Not only that, but he is refusing to speak about the issues and refusing to defend his could-be presidential agenda; he is downright refusing to speak to the American people.

Frankly, I believe that McCain just can’t hack a debate; he’s scared. Scared that Obama would wipe the floor with his dementia-ridden, bigot, anti-woman, can’t make up his mind about anything ass on national television. This is just another notch in the bedpost that says McCain is not ready, nor will he ever be ready (or qualified) to be president of the United States. It is for that reason that McCain refused to take questions after issuing his statement that he would be backing out of the debate. This belief can also be backed up by the fact that while he is too busy “focusing” on the financial crisis to attend the debate and to appear on David Letterman, he still had time to sit down for an interview with Katie Couric.

David Letterman, of course, caught wind of the news that McCain was being interviewed by Couric and just down the street from Letterman and so he handled the situation in a fashion that only Letterman could:

I also find it a little odd that McCain wants to go and “save the country” yet skipped the Senate’s vote on the economic stimulus package. McCain doesn’t give a shit about “saving the country” or the financial crisis we’re in right now because obviously, that doesn’t apply to a man who makes over $6 million a year and he has proved time and time again that he either has no opinion on something that could stimulate or fix the economy and give people a break here and there or he is dead set against it. No, this is all because McCain’s numbers are dropping and the “Maverick” saw an opening to make it look like he is working towards doing a good thing when really, he’s just leading the people on, denying to talk to them, crushing his own campaign and I am willing to bet that in a few days, he won’t even remember that he “suspended his campaign.”

But what does this whole “suspension” thing mean? It seems as if McCain’s campaign is not suspended in the least, thus confirming that this whole thing is merely a ploy for him to skip out on the debates because he just can’t hack it.

McCain also contacted Barack Obama urging him to also postpone the debate, to which Obama replied, the next president needs to “deal with more than one thing at once.”

Exactly.

You can vote on McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign here.
