Obama wants to 'give' us all these entitlement programs, which no one can pay for!

A typical GfS post.

This Bush mess has put "paid" to a lot of initial plans any candidate may have formed. This crisis calls for staying the course the clean up the mess Bush has set in place, but the smart candidate will keep his eye on the middle-distance at the very least, and not just the immediate problem at his feet.

If you want to struggle along as before, with one of the engineers of this mess, then go with McCain. If you want someone who will try to find rational solutions that move beyond hiring the heads of corrupt banks and institutions and is able to look at the larger picture, I think you have to choose someone who can think on his feet and keep a cool head while consulting experts from at least two parties. Obama fits the "white knight" role a lot better than McCain.

The debates tonight will be interesting. Let's see if McCain can get an answer out of his mouth that suggests solutions to the problems and not simply unsubstantiated attaks on his opponent.
