Political Ploys

John McCain (canceling the debates):

“I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.”

Barack Obama:

“This is exactly the time when people need to hear from the candidates. Part of the president’s job is to deal with more than one thing at once. In my mind it’s more important than ever.”

McCain needs more time to deal with the problem that he himself created. Meanwhile, Barack Obama can multitask. Which of these two people appears more qualified to be president?
