Why is a debate of foreign policy more important than dealing with the economic dilemma?

Sounds to me like Hussein Obama is telling Congress that they would get more done without him. McCain thinks that domestic financial security is vital to the growth of our country, but Obama thinks that TV ratings is more important.

Speaks volumes to me.

Barack Obama has no foreign policy experience besides the fact that he lived in Indonesia when he was a small child. All this is a stunt & a front by him brought to you by the Media. he slipped up so bad by saying nothing we have done in the past has worked. He is a true "softy on terrorism" worse then any presidential candidate I've ever seen. And his Challenge to a debate with McCain sickens me... seeing that the person he is still in the race with, and still hasn't secured the nomination with, Hillary Clinton has challenged him to debates, and he's turned them down.... what a naive coward. =|

Both are intertwined in the age of globalization. The real question should be what is more important, strengthening our economy through a strategic foreign policy approach, or by reforming our domestic policies?

EVERYTHING being done relates to the Economy. The economy is the measurement of strength of the country.

Is just as important not more. Since when accomplishing more equate less?

McCain is not even part of the committee working with the bailout. He has nothing to do in WDC. Specially on a Friday night. There is the fact you will ignore.

And you'd delay the elections too. Not the American way. Face it you will never get 900 Billion for a bail out without having a proper debate on it. Now can we get on with the elections.

Multitasking 101

Neither Obama or McCain were needed in Washington today. In fact it has been reported that they are very close to a compromise right now. McCain had nothing to do with the compromise, he was told he didn't need to come back.

It's not that it is more important, it's just that they simply weren't needed for this.

It isn't except to the liberals who would rather hear the same ole things they've heard before than have Obama doing the job he's already elected to do. Of course, since he votes "present" most of the time, he wasn't doing that job even when he was in Washington, so I guess they really can get things done easier without him.

answer

John McCain used the crisis as a COP OUT

The AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE THEM DEBATE

now more than ever!!

1

McCain tried to GRANDSTAND during Hurricane Gustav

they were going to suspend the RNC to help the poor victims of Katrina ( ANOTHER PHOTO OP)

#2

Katrina past by and they didn't get to "show" how patriotic they were

#3

Along come IKE two weeks later

Did they SUSPEND ANYTHING-----NO

did they all run down there and show how Patriotic they were

and help the victims -----NO

#4

Now he come along and wants to DODGE the debates

saying I'm so Patriotic I'd suspend my campaign for the people of America

HORSE HOCKEY

HE IS AFRAID to debate OBAMA

BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WAS PARTLY THE CAUSE of the FINANCIAL MELTDOWN by preaching constantly We MUST DEREGULATE the financial institutions !!

If SARAH PALIN is SO qualified and JOHN SO BUSY

why doesn't she do what a V.P. would do in case of an EMERGENCY and step in and assume THAT DUTY !!!

SHE SHROUDS herself with secrecy, not letting the public VETT her any more than McCain did!!

NOW McCain hides from us too !!

QUITE A PAIR

At least they TALK REAL BRAVE

amazing how people bash mccain for doing his job. he has no obligation to the rest of the country,he works for arizona.you are all a bunch of liberal whiners only hoping that obama can look better on a debate,cause he certainly is too busy campaigning to do what he was elected to do

That's a false choice. They can do both. Neither one is more important and the economic package will get done no matter what. In fact it's almost done already. The debate is important and it will go on. The economic package will get done and it will get passed.
