McCain to the rescue

As Senator McCain says about himself, I don't know much about banking and economics, but I wonder about his riding into Washington with all the drama of a swat team entering the bank to save the hostages from the robbers. The fact that it took him three days may not matter. The Republicans like all good soldiers have fallen in behind their candidate and act as though they have been following the leader all along. These high priests of small government and deregulation will follow the leader like good little scouts. There seems to be general agreement that it was the deregulation of the mortgage industry which was promoted by former Senator Phil Gramm, close friend and former adviser of McCain, which has led to the current economic melt-down.

Apparently the Good Senator feels that jumping into what was an ongoing process with both parties said to have been cooperating is far more important than his campaign for president.Or, is it more important 'to' his campaign? He has 'suspended' his campaign, though I am sure he is confident that the Governor of Alaska with all her vast international political insight will keep things on course. Just now the news flash, he now feels the crisis will be resolved and he is going to Mississippi to debate with his opponent.

Isn't it good to know the future of the country may be in such competent hands?
