Your bogus new leaders can't commit to a decision that they know is bad
So they stay away to make themselves look better!
Man that's some great leadership qualities they're both showing
They both know it doesn't do anything to help the people or keep the economy going!
Do they know what's in those 3 pages that Hank is trying to sell?
Besides paying mega bucks to CEO's that should be jailed for what they are doing?
Great leadership skills (NOT)
Candidates likely to skip bailout vote

Congress is poised to vote on the biggest government intervention in the financial markets since the Great Depression, but it’s unlikely that any of the three senators vying for the White House will be there – even though all three have talked of little else for over a week. Sen. John McCain (R- Ariz.) has no plans to return to Washington this week, even though on Monday he expressed discomfort with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s trillion-dollar bailout plan and has offered his own rescue proposal. “Sen. McCain is monitoring the situation closely,” said campaign co-manager Steve Schmidt on a conference call Monday. “We will see how this unfolds this week.” McCain “retains his rights to evaluate it as it goes along and make a final decision,” said co-manager Rick Davis. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) also looks like a no-show. Senior Obama strategist Robert Gibbs said the campaign would be monitoring the process as it unfolds this week, but as of Monday, the campaign would not commit to Obama making the trip back to Washington – even though the bailout proposal has taken a central role in Obama’s stump speeches. “It’s safe to say people will know where we are,” Gibbs said. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), Obama’s vice presidential running mate, is also “monitoring” the bailout situation, said spokesman David Wade, calling the rescue legislation “a critical issue.”
