All the time we talk about one political candidate or political party needing a game changing event, well right now we need to face the facts, America needs a game changer. I might just have an idea that could be, I emphasize could be, a game changer. Next Friday, September 26 Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain have a date. Instead of having the usual date that a Presidential debate encompasses, I believe they should do something different. Both Obama and McCain have campaigned on being bi-partisan and for the American people. Well right now the economic situation in this country calls for the American people to put ahead of personal political ambition as well as a bi-partisan solution. My suggestion, my challenge to Senator Obama and Senator McCain is to exhibit some of that bi-partisan leadership and instead of the usual Presidential debate, why not debate an Economic Package that will be introduced in Congress. Why not use that time to put together an Economic Package that focuses on creating jobs, strengthening confindence in the Markets, not raising taxes on anyone, and a true Energy policy that focuses on Energy independence. Both of these guys want to be the leader of this country, then they need to take the lead in a horrible Economic situation and quit their dumb bickering on who is to blame. Now is not the time to point fingers, now is the time focus on solving the problem. The quarterback of a football team does not stand on the sideline criticizing and blaming his defense for giving up a touchdown, he goes out onto the field and works as hard as he can to get a touchdown for his team. Barack Obama and John McCain need to quit criticizing each other and get out on that field and pick up their fellow Americans who made errors in judgement and work as hard as they can on scoring a touchdown. The start to this, I believe, is to use their date next Friday to debate and negotiate an Economic package that works for the American people and then turn around and tell every member of Congress that they are going to vote for it and yes tell the President he is going to sign it without objection. Its just a thought.
