What would be McCain's response to the current economic crisis?
I am just wondering what would be happening if McCain was in charge?

1. Perish that thought! I've also considered that scenario, and

14. If Palin was in power, she would sign whatever she needed to sign to
let Alaska secede. It was her emergency escape plan all along.

15. Bomb, bomb, bomb, - - - - somebody!!!
.

.

USA has it's weapons all over the globe, why?

Because it can't negotiate with anyone on a humane level . . .

I pray and hope that President Obama can change that

and I suspect most of the World feels the same way

praying and hoping . . .

23. Freeze all government spending
except for defense, veterans benefits, NASA, . . .

There would be no response. I don't even know if he'd have pushed through tax cuts. I expect a McCain White House would have accomplished nothing by now.
