To debate or not debate

With all of the mess that is going on with the bail outs. I wonder who gets to pick and choose what is more important? The debate that is supposed to go on, or talks of the bail outs? I look at it this way.
Both are very important, and have to be consitered. Like it or not both are Senators that running for the most important office and want to become the president of the United States. I do consider that just because the two of them are running for president should not take away what they know of first hand. Seeing as now we know that McCain is going on with the Debates for Friday, means he took off that one day to say his piece about the bail outs. I don't recall hearing about Obama showing up..did he? However, then you hear that McCain took that one day off to call off the debate to say his piece and come back to the debate today knowing that there is no deal. I don't know about you, but I find myself being very confused on which way to feel about this.
I do know that with there not being a deal, I really think now there will not be one made until we elect a new president and I really hope that isn't the case, as I feel that there will be more problems that will stem from this, which will result in more crisis in our business here and at home. I don't think that Congress is doing what they should be doing, as they should be investigating more and more of these business and following thru with penalties. {Why do I have the feeling that would result in too many of our elected officials that would be investigated}

Lets hope for the best, as I know I cannot take anymore of this.
