LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Sen. Barack Obama said Wednesday that he plans to issue a joint statement with his rival for the presidency, Sen. John McCain, on a $700 billion bailout plan for the nation's financial system. Obama said he called McCain this morning to ask if he would join him in issuing a joint statement, and McCain called him back at mid-afternoon to agree to it. "The two campaigns are currently working together on the details," Bill Burton, Obama's press secretary, said in a prepared statement. McCain has released prepared remarks saying he plans to suspend his campaign to deal with the crisis and wants to postpone a debate scheduled for Friday with Obama in Mississippi.
