Barack Obama responded to McCain's call for a postponement of the debates in a press conference (something McCain has avoided for 40 days now) this afternoon.
Said Obama: “With respect to the debates, it's my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who, in approximately 40 days, will be responsible for dealing with this mess. And I think that it is going to be part of the president's job to deal with more than one thing at once. I think there's no reason why we can't be constructive in helping to solve this problem and also tell the American people what we believe and where we stand and where we want to take the country.”
