Comment about: John McCain and the Transparently Political Ploy

| McCain's recent actions seem to indicate that he feels his role in helping with the financial debacle is far more important than his role in helping the American people set a course for the next 4 years. | I find McCain's position, that the number one item of importance for him right now is solving the nation's economic crisis, is ridiculous. How about focusing on what you do best, Senator McCain, and letting the economists work out the nations financial problems. We've seen that McCain's position on federal deregulation of the financial industry has been part of what has led to this mess. McCain is no economic genius and will only be needed for a vote once an economic plan is crafted.
In the meantime, we citizens have an EXTREMELY important job to do: namely, choosing the next president. Our economy is only a fraction of the problems we now face. Add to that a dangerous and complicated national security situation, heavy reliance on non-renewable and foreign-controlled energy sources, skyrocketing health care costs with many uninsured, increasing global temperatures causing a multitude of irreversible environmental problems, increasing impotence in affecting world opinion and garnering multi-lateral support, and much more. Our crisis extends far beyond the economy and we need to know what McCain and Obama intend to do about it.
There's no doubt that McCain's number one job at this time, is developing a plan for his presidency and presenting it to the American people. The fact that he continues to come up with reasons to shield himself and his running mate from direct scrutiny raises many questions. Such as: Is John McCain running scared? Is he afraid to provide details to Americans because he's not confident they'll work? Are smoke screens his best chance for being elected?
Come on Mr. Straight Talk Express. Quit hiding.
