| Melodramatic - certainly.  I still think it will be effective from a campaign standpoint.  Obama says the American people need to hear from their leaders.  McCain should say the American people need their leaders to stop worrying about a campaign when there's a crisis, and point out the leaders working together in Washington is a lot more important than delaying the debate a week.
 Suppose I don't understand why it is problematic comparing this to our last major crisis.  He didn't say "Republicans showed why they rock and dems suck after 9/11", he said this is a crisis we need to come together on, just like we came together after 9/11.  Why is that a problem?  Not meaning it rhetorically.  I don't get it.  If anything, he's outlining the magnaminity of the issue at hand.
