Amid the recent financial crises, John McCain said today that if he were the president, he would fire U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Chris Cox. This did not go over well with both Republican and Democratic analysts. One also pointed out that he has floundered in the past few days of economic turmoil.
While on the “Today Show” on Tuesday morning, McCain said, “We cannot have the taxpayers bail out AIG or anybody else." But on Wednesday on "Good Morning America," however, he said that the government had no other choice but to help the insurance company.
It seems that McCain doesn't really know which way to go on this issue and that seems to be a little unnerving to the American people. In today’s Gallup Poll, McCain in now following Barack Obama by 4 percent. (This is a 9-point drop from after the Republican National Convention.)
My thoughts...
As far as campaign tactics go, I can't say that John McCain's actions today did much for him. Perhaps he is taking this self-proclaimed maverick thing a little too far...

I think that this just goes to show that John McCain should in fact not be president! He cant even make up his mind on what he would really do. And granted It is a HUGE decision, and it will affect everyone, but at least Obama says what he wants and how he feels on the subject! I think that shows a lot!
