John McCain, leader - Barack Obama, wanna-be
Posted by: Mike Gallagher at 7:22 AM
I have never been prouder of John McCain.

This economic crisis puts the leadership qualities of both Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama on full display for all the world to see.

John McCain made a decision to do his job.  After all, like Obama, he is a sitting U.S. Senator.    McCain announced that he's suspending his campaign, heading to Washington and doing everything he can to help get this economic calamity fixed.

Sen. Obama wants to put on the make-up and and smile pretty for the TV cameras in Oxford, Mississippi, site of tomorrow night's scheduled debate.

What a dramatic difference between these two men.   John McCain is a natural leader, Barack Obama is a wanna-be.

Obama isn't even exactly sure when the next president's duties begin.  Last night, he referenced the fact that the next commander-in-chief will be "making decisions" in "about 40 days."

Someone needs to get him a copy of the Constitution.   News flash, Sen. Obama:  the next president doesn't go to work until January.

But in any event, it is gratifying to see John McCain shine like this.   God forbid he backs down and winds up at the debate Friday night.   That would be a disaster.

Let Obama continue to play politics, fiddling while Wall Street burns.  The American people are getting a rare look at the stark contrast between these two men.

Bravo, Sen. McCain.   You have trumped your opponent simply by insisting on putting America first and doing the job you were elected to do.

That's what a leader does.
