It just reinforces the fact Obama is the more partison canidate.

 

If by fact you mean your opinion fine, it reinforces your opinion.  However actual facts, and given your posts lately I highly suggest you look up what the word means in a dictionary, seem to state otherwise.

Senator Obama was the one to initiate contact between the campaigns and put forth the suggestion of releasing a bipartisan statement ever since it became clear that both candidates were expressing similar concerns on the bailout.  Senator McCain brought up the possibility of suspending campaigns/delaying the debates but Obama told him to hold off and first let's get the statement out.  At which point McCain blindsided him by going public in an effort to try to claim the political high ground by seemingly putting country before politics.

However the way he went about it trying to force Obama's hand by publically calling to delay the debates really takes away any credibility he has as far as trying to pretend he's avoiding partisan politics and actually caring about the financial issues at hand.
