I see that Senator John McCain has formally requested of Senator Barack Obama that the first Presidential debate, to be held tomorrow, be delayed so that he may focus on reviewing America's current economic crisis.
Is he serious? The current US financial woes have been in the making for nine years. Some of the world's largest financial institutions are on the brink of bankruptcy. People are losing their homes. The world's stock markets are extremely volatile and sway from good to bad every hour and John McCain, with a self-confessed 'lack of knowledge regarding economic matters', wants to delay a debate and get this problem rectified quick-smart. How? What is he going to do? Is John McCain going to sell a couple of his smaller houses and loan the ailing Wall Street $700 billion instead of the taxpayer?
While he is at it, why doesn't he just ask Obama if they can delay a face-off until all troops withdraw out of Iraq, Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez are a distant memory, Guantanamo Bay is a theme park and Sarah Palin actually has some experience?
Quite rightly, Barack Obama declined the request to delay the debate, saying, and I may be paraphrasing here, that in such desperate times, the American public deserve to hear exactly who does have a plan, as well as a spine.
