The Answer – committees that John McCain does not sit on. Chris Dodd, who chairs one of those committees, told Rachael Maddow tonight that Obama has been in constant with him to check on the progress and offer ideas. McCain has not been in touch at all.

Just yesterday McCain told reporters he hadn’t looked at the plan yet. So just 24 hours ago, John McCain could not be bothered to read three pages about this crisis. Today we now have McCain yelling fire (not to mention that only 1 week ago the “foundations of our economy are strong”).

John McCain and Barack Obama going to Capital Hill is going to do nothing to hurry the process. As matter of fact it will hinder it, as they bring Presidential politics into the most important part of our country right now. Even Harry Reid said that today.

McCain’s whole stunt today does not have a god damned thing to do with the economy. McCain could care less with his multiple houses and cars. It has everything to do with his failing campaign.

Now we need to ask ourselves how the stock markets will respond to this bullshit tactic by John McCain. The DOW was working its way back up today, until McCain made his big announcement. After that it went right back down. Is John McCain causing more turmoil on Wall Street? Is he costing this nation millions because he is an incompetent leader running an incompetent campaign? Hell yeah and he should be publicly flogged for this grand exhibit of selfishness.
