He has been in Congress for a long time so this means he has more skeletons. How can you convince America of change when you yourself have been part of the status quo for nearly three decades? Fresh faces mean fresh start not old faces new start. We all know why he does not want to go to that debate. He has been in Congress for a long time so this means he has more skeletons.

So he can make a last ditch effort to save his miserable campaign? He hasn't presented one bill proposal on banking in the last year while Obama has submitted five. Call your congressmen and women and tell them enough is enough. McKeating wants more for his rich-a** cronies and lobbyists than they even deserve for creating this mess--and no one is talking about what should happen to those that created it. The debate should not be allowed to be postponed--presidents should be able to at least multitask for a measly hour and a half. If Grampy can't do that then he has absolutely no business trying to run the country.
