The Debate commission should tell McCain that he does not set the agenda.
McCain needs a serious recalibration, a grounding, a keeping it real session. YOu're not in chaege John so stop trying ti issue directives.

1. McCain is trying to gain the high ground by telling everyone what
to do. He wants Obama to come the Washington and to meet with the President. He claims to have contacted Bush about having a meeting. (I believe that Bush and McCain are working together on this.)

Now, whatever happens, McCain will claim several things.

So, in the end, if the meeting is held and the bill is done. Then McCain will claim all of that. If the debate goes on without him, he will try to appear to be more concerned about the Country than the election. What a pompous, overbearing and out of touch stupid ass!

We can only hope that most Americans will see these theatrics for what they are, tacky stunts.

16. No. But, his "plantation" mentality is telling him that he is in charge.
Mental institutions have numerous cases of patients who think they are Napoleon, Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, CIA agents, etc.

3. if he was really concerned about the country he never would have suggested postponing.
people are worried and for good reason, this deabte really is needed now. And McCain should also f off for trying to get Obama to suspend his campaign as well. McCain isn't the boss.

17. McCain is trying to tell (1) the debate committee, (2) Obama, (3)
Bush, and (4) the Congress what to do. The man is delusional.

10. It shows that he hasn't got the capability of followinf this important campaign through
in fact he has let his voters down. Now they are going to vote Obama. Today I believe is a turning point. McCain/Palin's campaign is in trouble.

7. I think they've more or less done that
They've said the debate will go on as scheduled. Now if they cave that's another matter but as it looks now, they're sticking to the script.
