Obama and Mccain Deal with Economy Debacle

When the economy is continuing in a downward spiral and the public is a worried frenzy, the presidential candidates need to take action immediately. McCain or Obama must convince Americans that they can lead the country in the right direction, and this current economic crisis tests their leadership, strategies, and sense of direction they want to take this country. An article from the New York Times, “Obama and McCain Stand Firm on the Bailout” discusses how each candidate plans to deal with the crash of the stock market the multiple overturning businesses. There is a $700 million bailout proposed by the Bush administration, but each candidate has a different take on how they think the government should help businesses and the people. However, their proposals are not unique to the current crisis, “most of them proposals they have already made.”Neither candidate commits to voting for the $700 million bailout proposal if their own proposals are not met, and if they choose not to, how does this reflect their ability to take action and narrow mindedness? Will they continue to sidestep issues and not take a decisive stance if they unsure of how it will affect the polls?
