I could never be prouder to be an American.

After all of the fighting, bickering and downright nasty politics going between the two sides these past few months, Obama and McCain decide to call off their campaigns to get key bills related to the economy passed in congress.

This is something that is normally unheard of in any politics, let alone in the dirty world of US Presidential politics. I think both candidates are showing that they are the "mavericks of change" that they have dubbed themselves, and are clearly not "Politics as usual"

I have never in my lifetime seen the spirit of democracy shine brighter, than when two people can set asside their differences to get what needs to be done passed through congress at the expense of their own political campaigns. This is truely a rare bright day in American politics
