John McCain

Crises often have a way of revealing our better selves. Of showing what we're made of and how much we can achieve when we're put to the test. This is true as well of the grave challenges we face in Washington.

I think that, for John McCain, not only does he have to look like he's fixing the problem; he has to fix the problem, because, at the end of the day, if the economy completely tanks, that's not good for McCain.

We have got a severe crisis of confidence among the American people, that this is a system that doesn't take care of the fat cats on Wall Street, but takes care of people like yourself on Main Street.

The country and the world look to Washington for leadership and Congress once again came up empty-handed.

I think I need to talk to America and hear what their solutions are because we're going to have to get the support of all Americans to address this together.

She understands, and we've stated repeatedly, that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interests.

Senator Obama and his allies in Congress infused unnecessary partisanship into the process. Now is not the time to fix the blame, it's time to fix the problem.

The Virginia tribes have waited too long, have come too far, to see their recognition bill die

Senator Obama doesn't understand. What Senator Obama doesn't understand.

He said he wanted to give them a seat at the table, a voice.

He did not suspend his campaign. He just decided that it was more important for him politically or policy reasons or a little bit of both to be in Washington.

$700 billion and probably some bad headlines over the next few weeks on the economy are just not good news for John McCain.

John McCain essentially sided with the House Republicans who said we are not going to be railroaded here.

Washington is broken and I'm going to fix it.

He said he was going to support it.

John McCain, how dare you come and give a debate and you don't even say the word middle class?

I'm not going to set the White House visitors' schedule before I'm President of the United States.

He slowed the process down.

It's difficult to act both quickly and wisely, but that's what's required right now. Time is short, and doing nothing is not an option.

John McCain came, he injected politics into it and derailed the thing.

Look, we're suspending the campaign. This is an altruistic move. This is above politics.

We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the Commission on Presidential Debates to delay Friday night's…

Tomorrow morning, I'll suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative.
