Do you really want an impulsive old man who makes horrid snap judgments as president?
Oh come on, what you listed are hardly horrid snap judgements.
"One minute the fundamentals of the economy are strong"
The non-finance companies are in good shape, exports are growing, the US is still the best country when it comes to education, high-tech, IT, bio-tech etc.. Its biggest problem are the sub-prime crisis and the shape of its financial sector. Which is by a large part a problem of trust. So he was a) pretty much correct even when the financial crisis has the potential to destroy the economy and b) trying to project confidence was a good thing to do in this situation.
- "then he wants a commission to study the problem"
he wants a commission after it became clear the financial crisis was larger than ANYONE expected? Yes that's a horrid snap judgement.
" then he's suspending his campaign to work on it and skipping the debate"
He DID work on it together with Obama and even Bill Clinton says this was no excuse. A debate is not exactly the most important thing when the whole financial system is in tatters.
"now he's going to debate even though an agreement hasn't been reached"
He asked Obama to suspend the debate and Obama didn't agree to do it. Seems to me more of an issue on the other side.
I don't deny that McCain has its errors but the ridiculous hyperbole some people try to say something against him is pretty weird. horrid snap judgements lol.
