Priorities, or Leadership We Can Believe In

by: Douglas E. Lindner

Mon Sep 29, 2008 at 17:32:34 PM EDT


Amidst a major economic crisis, let us see what our two Presidential candidates think is most important for us to see first when we visit their official websites.  Screenshots taken moments ago from JohnMcCain.com and BarackObama.com.

John McCain is right now, on television urging "our leaders" to put aside politics and come together to address the situation.  I started writing this before he came on, so I'll show you a screenshot of his website from about 20 minutes before his statement. McCain-Palin would like you to watch a video in which Governor Palin talks about helping their campaign, bringing change to Washington, and zero actual issues.  As far as I can tell, it has no mention of the economic crisis, despite the fact that, the Dow is down over 750 points today, a larger one-day drop than the one that eventually led McCain to pretend to suspend his campaign.  Here's the screenshot:

And here's what you get when you visit the Obama-Biden site:

Country First.  Address the crisis.  The candidate of substance.  Wait, that's pro-Obama rhetoric, right?
