Presidential Candidate Obama looked and sounded oh so presidential and reassuring at his news conference today as he took questions from reporters. The contrast between him and runaway McCain could not have been more CLEAR!!!

You should ALSO have noted that the newly
released Fox News Poll has Obama up 6, so it appears that NBC's is inconsistent.

Not only will Obama have to spend valuable time raising money instead of campaigning this fall, but with his poll numbers going nowhere, what assurances does he have that his donors are willing to throw good money after bad?

In the meantime, he is spending cash and resources as if there is no tomorrow (maybe there isn't). like sending paid workers from Georgia to North Carolina, where McCain-Palin is ahead by 15-20 points!

Great decisions by someone who claims running his campaign is his best executive experience.

OMG, the hallucinogen must still be in effect. Just when I was getting my hopes up and giving the voters some credit for seeing the light after EIGHT long years of hell! Wake up, middle class America, we need an intelligent, diplomatic president who will advocate for you, not Bill Gates and Donal Trump.

Get out of the way McCain and stop grandstanding....learn to multi-task...it's a 21st century concept.

When the polls look good for McCain they're right and when they look good for Obama they're wrong? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Even FOX -- who have been known to lie for their guy -- has him up by 6 points!

Love the 'multi-task' statement from Obama. HA! Poor old McLeft in the Dust, can't do two things at once; begging to be in the real decision making going on in Congress even though he's been MIA since early April and even he admits he doesn't know a lot about the economy. McCain is slipping away into the pit where ill tempered, unprepared OLD Senators go when it's clear they've missed their chance at the big job. What a laugh of a candidate and what a risk to this country to have McCain as President. I shudder at the thought.

Warren Buffet said today that this rescue needed to be done by Monday. He called it a financial Pearl Harbor. Another major bank is apparently on the brink of going under if this legislation is not passed. He does not cry wolf. This is a real crisis for everybody.

I just heard a cut of BO telling Harry Reid "If you need me call me". That's leadership?

Can you imagine during Katrina if Bush had said this when he was ignoring the disaster.

Also, the cross-tabs would indicate this poll overrepresents Republicans in that of those polled who voted in the 2004 election 42% voted for Bush and 37% voted for Kerry. I think this poll VASTLY undersamples dems and dem-leaners.

It is probably an outlier

The debate should be postponed.

John McCain looks like a President today. Barack Obama does not.

In his announcement to temporarily suspend his Presidential campaign to return to Washington D.C. to work toward a bipartisan solution to the nation's economic situation, Sen. McCain is demonstrating what real leadership is.

John McCain is putting our country first and politics second. It's the right thing to do.

Sen. Barack Obama should follow Sen. McCain's lead

Drew Merchant — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:38:55 GMT

McCain wants to hide his connections to this financial crisis.

Why is it that the Republicans want people to know less and vote less? Because they represent a small minority of special interests. Because they don't want the actual tally of Americans' voices to be heard.

Now that the financial climate is here and the novelty of his running mate has waned, McCain wants to hide in the closet next to Palin.

Bipartisanship is code for duck and cover.

not sure what polls you're gawking at... Obama is close in NC, and ahead in every other swing state that McClown is trying to grapple away. The other thing is this... the closer the race the more people tend to give Obama... just ask Hillary and McClown last month. By the way... we all know he got 10 Million the first week of the month in one night. He then got another 9 Million during the fundraiser in California...

It's going to be another 55-60M dollar month... count on it.

This is not a two point race. Numerous national polls, including trackers show Obama's lead to be bigger, but more importantly, he's starting to pull away a little bit state polls for places like Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan etc. It will be very interesting to see if there's any movement whatsoever in the trackers tomorrow. Even the daily polls take several days to catch up with actual events and developments in the race.

To think that I used to like McCain. I even voted for him in the 2000 Michigan primary. That was before he turned into McBush. What on earth ever happened to this guy? It's like he's from another planet or something. His time has come and gone, and if the decisions he's making right now are any indication of how he will lead our country, he's more out to lunch than I surmised. Give it up, McBush, and take your bimbo running mate with you...

It would appear that John McCain is more interested in saving our retirement accounts, our bank accounts and our mortgages and getting the country back on track than winning the election.

What a great leader! He just got my vote, which was not going to him until today. Please wake up, forget about the last eight years and Please remember that everything that is currently taking place in our economy has begun in the last two years.

Now think, whose been in charge of the legislature, inacting laws, policies and budgets for the past two years? One hint, it hasn't been the Republicans nor the President.

Get over yourselves if you think one man can enact change and take a hard look at what you have been supporting since '06.... I did, and I am depressed it took me this long to realize I was wrong!

The bailout is 700 billion dollars, every year we import 770 billion dollars of energy which we do not have to import. We can turn coal into gasoline, stop the imports and create 50,000 new jobs just in Illinois. Check it out.
