POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL CRISES
In Linden’s view, the Friday night presidential debate settled little to nothing. Obama looked less bad than Linden expected him to look and McCain appeared mostly presidential but was unwilling to use many of the attack opportunities that were presented to him. The moderator appeared less biased than many previous ones have appeared. Backers of each man proclaimed that their guy was the debate winner. McCain had suspended his campaign in order to return to Washington: Obama had said “I’m available if you need me” but decided that he better follow McCain’s lead and returned also.
As of Sunday evening, Linden was unaware of any congressional agreement in relation to the financial crisis. It should be noted that the democrats do not really need an agreement with the Republicans to pass a bill but they have no wish to appear solely responsible for the initial monstrosity.
The democrats announced that they had an agreement, then McCain made his appearance, followed by Obama. At the meeting, President Bush deferred to the democrats who then turned to Obama. He, perhaps because of lack of executive experience, failed his test. Conservative Republicans said they could not support it as written: Too much wasteful spending. Then, the meeting ended in a less than completely cordial setting. If you are a taxpayer, you should thank God for Conservative Republicans.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Thursday: Did some work in the goldfish pond area. Talked to Brian and Julie. Not as active as I should have been.
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at my church. Joyce called (she had just returned from Florida) to see when my appointment with the eye specialist is: It is Wednesday. Went to a calling at a funeral home. Watched the presidential debate.
Saturday. Received some fig and peach preserves plus some honey from Katia. She called and we had a very enjoyable conversation. She told me that “Obama” in Turkish means an annoying, yapping little dog. I watched some football on TV later.
Sunday: Morning church and Sunday school followed by brunch with friends, paper reading and a nap at home and evening services at my church.
