Barack Obama's Statement on Friday's Debate

Obama said that his staff is working on the joint statement and that this is the exactly the time that the American people NEED to hear from presidential candidates in order to describe how they plan on leading the United States especially during times of crisis.He believes that he and McCain should continue to have the debate! Obama says that Presidents must be able to deal with various things at one time!Here are two points that Obama made on the bailout package:

• US citizens should be treated like investors if the bailout package passes the Senate.
• The bailout package is not a welfare program for CEOs and others on Wall Street.

Obama said, "It's my belief that this is exactly the time when theAmerican people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess."

Leon Panetta said that this is America's Economic 9-11 but I think that McCain came out of left field with his announcement (much like picking the Palin) in order to save his sinking campaign.
