That reminds me of something that amused me in the debate. McCain said we'd tackle energy, health care, and entitlements at the same time. Obama said we had to prioritize. The reason I found this amusing was that Obama, when McCain suspended his campaign, said Presidents have to be able to multitask.

Huge difference. If you can't run a campaign and give feedback on a bill that you aren't authoring then maybe you shouldn't be President. How can you multi-task on 3 different areas that take funding when trying to fix the current economic crisis?

I didn't take Obama to mean that he was going to ignore the other 2 areas, just that they were going to be prioritized and focused on fixing one at a time.
