Presidential Candidates Taking A Time-Out

Mccain_image_2Obama_imageAs media reports started commenting today, it looks like both Presidential candidates are going to stop campaigning and go back to Washington D.C. to deal with this government bailout issue.  John McCain is heading back to Washington to deal with this crucial issue and it looks like Obama is as well.  The only real difference is whether or not the first debate on Friday evening should take place, which Obama has said he wants to continue as planned and McCain’s camp noted a potential delay.  President Bush will speaking on the issue tonight.  After what has felt like a multi-year Presidential campaign, most of us are probably wishing it didn’t take a financial crisis to interrupt this never-ending campaign trail.
