McCain all bluster: He is not a leader, he is a follower
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 09:56 AM by Roberto1223
I remember Barack Obama calling John McCain "all bluster" during the Georgia-Russia fiasco. Once again John McCain cannot help himself and after demonstrating a shocking erratic behavior during the collapse of Wall Street insisting that "the fundamentals of the economy are strong", and in the cataclysmic drop in his polling numbers, John McCain suspends his campaign to come to the rescue and save the bailout plan authored by Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke and George W. Bush, the worst President in the history of the United States. There was John McCain arriving in Washington, DC, welcomed by his sidekick Joe Lieberman. In a photo op at the White House, John McCain had nothing to contribute and looked ineffectual and out of touch, once again. He was received by an open revolt by House Republicans; it seems that McCain's folly backfired because now there is no deal and he is a captive of the House Republicans. What can Johnny do? Oppose his GOP friends or go along with them. Either one is a loser for Johnny and he is now finding himself as a follower, a do-nothing GOP Senator who is all bluster and no action. Even David Letterman has turned on him and Sarah Palin has proven that she indeed is Dan Quayle in a pony tail.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama has demonstrated restraint and calmness in this crisis and has shown temperament and intelligence to steer our country out of the mess caused by George Bush and his cronies. Enough is enough, now more than ever. John McCain should not "un-suspend" his campaign, he should end it and save the American people the embarrassment of watching his cheap and phony political theater.
