What, the old guy can't handle the economic crisis and prepare for a debate at the same time? Must cut into his nap time.

The old guy gets to be a bigger joke every day.

LMAO.....The debate was to be on Foreign Policy which is McCains STRENGTH!

Funny how obamabots all over the net are saying that McAmnesty is scared and running,etc.... from debating the Messiah!

They are such hypocrites that they forget that ObamaPelosi said he would debate McIllegal "anytime, anywhere" so McAmnesty challenged Obamarosa to 10 town hall debates and ObamaLadin has been running ever since.

The DaliBama's followers also forget that McBetterBuildTheWalls strength is Foreign Policy which is what the debate was to be about!

Obama said that he could "cross the Isles" and "Bring both parties together"...lmao....looks like the old fart beat him to it! Ooooh that's right....McAmnesty has been working with Dems and crossing party limes on many occasions! It's all about the Messiah!!!!!! Obama needs to get his azz to work and worry about the election later.

McCain cosponsored a bill to reform the Fed Housing Entities in 2005 but it went no where. Not to mention that McCain has offered repeatedly to debate over the last three months. The Obama campaign refused.

the debate is only 2 hours,why can't he debate for 2 hours? After the debate he can go and discuss the bailout afterwards. If he can't juggle more than one thing at a time how does he expect to run the country?

How transparent.

They see that they're heading south fast in the polls so they want to suspend the debate?

Sheehs, Lincoln camapaigned and debated during a time of war, and many other presidents did as well.

McCain can't handle a 90 minute debate at this time?

Go figure...

ObamaRosa has taken 3 days OFF from campaigning just to prepare for the debate. Instead of taking the time off...how about use that time to try and help America and it's citizens? Oooooh...I forgot, It's all about Dalibama!

All I know is that McCain was born in PANAMA, so he is NOT a "natural born" citizen. Then again if he withdraws now, we will have Palin as a potential Commander in Chief. I think I won't make a big deal about McCain's lack of citizenship, and just hope no one will vote for him. I'm terrified of a McCain or Palin presidency. Look at what Bush has done! They just want more of the same, deregulation and less taxes. How will that ever work? They want to bankrupt the USA and privatize the US treasury. If they hate America so much, they should leave. I can't take four more weeks of them, let alone four to eight years!!!!

McCain was begging for debates before the convetions had occured. Until the conventions were over, neither candidate was the actual nominee of their party. But leave it to McCain to disregard the rules and the law to have things his way. Obama prefered to work with the election process the way it is supposed to work. So now a debate is two days away and McCain has dropped from dead even to ten points behind and low and behold, Johnnie wants out. Hmmm Maybe Bush can call for a suspention of the election of the "crisis". GW and his clone McCain need more time to try to figure out how to embezzle a trillion dollars into the pockets of their rich buddies.

This is America... there is always going to be a crisis of some kind to deal with. Is John McCain going to stay home every time the country needs leadership? If so, he's not fit to be Commander in Chief.

Another proof that McCain puts country first! Barack probably won't put his campaign on hold because he doesn't give a rat's behind about the country. He just cares about creating communism, take a good look at Romania and see what communism does to a country, it creates mindless drones who cannot think for themselves, it creates dependence rather than independence.

Wait a minute, McCain is supposed to debate Palin?? Is she is the Republican celebrity Messaiah, the false prophet Mammon??? I hate the blasphemy, but I'm sick and tired of the lies perpetuated by the Republicans. I'm a Christian and for me Jesus Christ is the only Messaiah. I have never heard a Democrat call Obama the Messaiah, only the Republicans say that ad nauseum. Knock it off.

I have to wonder if Obama will agree, I'm sure if he learned nothing else in college it was to memorize all the possible answers to the quistions asked, and after three days of memorizing he would probably forget half of them if they delayed the debate.
I guess I'm waiting to see if he will put the country first or himself first, just as he did with the benifit in Hollywood the day the stock market crashed, one for me and all for me!!!.

The country was in complete kaos before these two candidates emerged. We need someone to step forward and look out for the American People! Just that simple! I do not care if your Black, White, Asian, Indian etc. It is time to take our country back. We need the debate and two see who will get our country back on track. It is time to get the facts on the table.

McCain has not cast a vote in congress since April 2008 and Obama June 2008. So what is the rush to get back Washington? The fact of the matter is McCain is not ready. They will not let Palin speak on camera without being scripted. Seems pretty scary to this voter.

This is awfully ironic after all the crap he spurted concerning those town hall debates. This is purely a political move being as he is not ready and probably needs to take a nap.
