Well,we got "that" phone call.
Our economy is on the brink,with the government nationalizing huge parts of the economy(also called neo-socialism) ,loaning billions to Detroit and bailing out bad faith corporations,etc. Basically rewarding their maleficence.They should be doing jail time.
How have the candidates reacted to the "call" ?
McCain has vacillated from Sen.De-regulator to captain reformer.Called to pass the 700 billion bail-out right away,and also said we shouldn`t pass a bill giving 700 billion of taxpayer money to Wall Street.Contradicting himself.
He has blamed the crisis on Mr Obama,personally,lol.While his campaign is run by the very lobbyists who have been behind the deregulation of banks and Wall Street for the past decade.McCain`s campaign manager Rick Davis,was payed 30 grand a month to lobby for looser rules for Fanny Mae.One of the Senators he lobbied?McCain himself.
Phil "Americans are whiners" Gramm(top McCain economic adviser),was payed hansomely to get a law passed that got rid of most of depression era regulations, that have made our economy rock solid and protected our money/investments for the last 50 years..The laws/regulations that FDR passed,wiped out by republicans.
McCain can`t seem to separate himself from this crisis and isn`t acting very coherent.
Mr. Obama ,on the other hand,wants some more scrutiny of the "bail out" law and is against rushing it through without safeguards for home owners.
A balanced and responsible reaction.
And he remains calm and collected while explaining in words folks can understand,why his approach is better for main street,and not just for Wall Street.

How the candidates react to this crisis is very insightful to how they`d handle themselves as president.

Has anyone ever been in a situation where all about you, including yourself, were running around in a panic looking for an exit from a bad situation and there is one guy at the table who is calm, collected and in control. At first glance you think..OMG, how can he or she be so collected, so strong in this terrible time. And than you realize, that person has no clue what is going on and is waiting for a text message to come through from a friend who has all the buzz words. The guy isn't strong and responsible..the guy is an idiot! Now, Mr. Obama is not an idiot.He is probably the best con man on the scene since P.T Barnam. In fact he is the only man in the world who truly knows the real Barack, something most Americans have no clue after almost two years of TV stardom.
We are to believe that he is an expert on economics, an expert on Global politcs, an expert on money markets, an expert on healthcare, an expert on energy, an expert on just about every ill that might befall our country and its people. Ever wonder why his primary energy, outside of the radical leftist wing of the democrat party, are young, impressionble twenty years old, most just starting the experience of life? He is the penultimate college professor who has children in class mesmorized, if not intimidated. Interestingly, I was proud to se that generation in my own family who were ardent Barack fans earlier this year, go down to Media yesterday to see McCain, Palin, and their good buddy Joe Lieberman. And they came back with buttons that they did not have to buy....but that's another story.
