The responses of Barack Obama and John McCain to the economic crisis today tells you all you need to know about the choice in this election.

One the one hand, in Barack Obama we've got a statesman who wants to work together to get things done for all Americans. On the other hand, in John McCain we've got a yipping little dog (apologies to canine lovers everywhere) who will tear anything down to get ahead.

1. A shocking contrast. McCain is a selfish old twit. nt

2. of course once again

Obama is showing true leadership in a time that it´s needed. Obama is also looking out for the average joe. McCain is showing he lacks understanding of this crisis and again uses it for political purposes.

3. I noticed the Dow number increasing as Obama talked :-D

4. I hope there was a correlation, people calming down and feeling a

tad more optimistic. :shrug:

5. Wow. The contrast couldn't be greater. McCain thinks of his campaign, Obama thinks of the people.

Who would you rather have in charge right now?

6. McCain has continually been days behind during this crisis

... and still hasn't caught-up with events and Obama. I don't see McCain getting through this cycle without at least one full-on temper tantrum, as the Presidency slips away from him for good.

7. Obama: This is how a LEADER deals with things.

McClown is how a partisan partially responsible for the mess we're in today deals with things: attack, attack, attack while coming up with NO defined solutions other than "we can fix it".

This is not the time to put an economic amateur who follows the agenda that Big Business has drawn out for him in office. We already had 20 years of that nonsense with the three Dicks of Disaster.

8. Obama is a leader. McBush is a pointless self-serving pol.
