Obama had a decision and he made it. He decided to not go back to Washington and actually do the job he was elected to do but instead to stay down in FL where he has been prepping for the upcoming debate, that may or may not be an actual debate tonight. Now the question to me is what does a debate do for a candidate. To me all it does it is puts them on the spot in front of the American people. Now for Barrack Obama that is not a good thing. He is running on the idea of vaugue ideas of change that try to put this idea of an utopia in the minds of the people watching and listening. In a debate people listen for ideas, which is the one things that Obama is short on. There are no teleprompters during debates, and there are not monstrous, favorable, crowds that will be there screaming and crying in his presence.
Obama has chosen to prep for a debate that might not even happen tonight, instead of representing the only people that have ever elected him to office, the poeple of Illinois. That says something about his character. Something else that says something about character is that McCain is able to go to Washington represent those people of Arizona that elected him to represent them. It also says something that he can travel from debate prep to Washington to handle the crisis, meet with President Bush and other congressional leaders to help America and show his leadership, travel to NYC to speak, in person, in front of Bill Clinton's PAC (where Obama spoke via satellite.) Then going back to Washington to continue to work on a package to help the economy. Now does he have time to prep during that schedule. Not really, he is prepared for the debate, and doesn't have to prep on his own ideas. He is a real person whose every movement is not scripped like some other politicians who at times are considered a messiah.
