Obama held steadfast and questioned why McCain couldn’t mulit-task both the debate and his involvement in the bailout negotiations. What do you think of McCain’s re-decision? Discuss.

GOP’s beef with the Media
The media, as lucky full-time practitioners of the role of citizen that the 1st Amendment protects, have a duty to explore the life and activities and attitudes of a person in Palin’s position and make the results public in responsible fashion. The question is whether they did so in this instance.

The state of California is quickly running out of cash and Governor Schwartzenegger has made an executive decision to cut 22,000 part-time and temporary state positions. He also ordered that state workers receive the federal minimum wage of $6.55 instead of the California minimum wage.
Schwartzenegger apologized to state workers and said he had no choice. “Today I am exercising my executive authority to avoid a full-blown crisis and keep our state moving forward,” Schwarzenegger said. “This is not an action I take lightly.” However, workers will be reimbursed once a new budget is approved.
