Very presumptuous, that's how I would characterise a desire for change of the so called "policies of the passed height years that didn't work", Why?

First, because sadly in a way the President (actual) never had the chance to implement the policies he had planned, 09/11 set the course.... Therefore, talking about the Bush 's policies is very inappropriate....

Second, today's world has shown that anytime, anywhere and anyhow, it can decide the type of burden it will impose to the country.

Third, because anytime the American People can find out about the actual crisis the fact that to resist the impact on the economy of 09/11 and bring full support to the economy in the aftermath, a policy of low interest rate policy was implemented. The policy implemented to protect jobs and growth has shown its limits but it did protect the People for almost 8 years. It has had unexpected and undesired consequences but it can and it will be turned around.

Fourth, the finish line is november fourth not next poll, there is time to talk to the American People and offer them a vision of the next four years when someone has nearly 30 years of experience in public office and has seen and helped pass legislation in times of crisis.

Fifth, it's for the People to decide, Sen McCain has shown that what some call "erratic" is just the right sense of duty....

When the crisis striked, he decided to suspend his campaign, showing that his job of Congressman was something he was taking very seriously and as such, his duty was to be in Congress. Country first, not his campaign...

He thought it wasn't the right time for a debate on foreign policy when everyone was focused on the economy, and wasn't the right time to oppose in a debate on economy when Congress was looking for unity to pass a bipartisan legislation the country needed. Once more Country first...not his interests in the campaign...For the People to decide.

The interest of nobody to have an ugly race as it will weaken the next President at a time it is not needed...
