Obama: 'The times are too serious to put our campaign on hold'
RAW STORY
Published: Thursday September 25, 2008


Presidential candidate Barack Obama addressed the economic bailout, during a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative Thursday morning.

"Let me be clear: it’s outrageous that we find ourselves in a position where taxpayers must bear the burden for the greed and irresponsibility of Wall Street and Washington," Obama said. "But we also know that a failure to act would have grave consequences for the jobs, and savings, and retirement of the American people."

Obama also dismissed McCain's call to suspend the campaigns.

"The American people deserve to hear directly from myself and Senator McCain about how we intend to lead our country," Obama said. "The times are too serious to put our campaign on hold, or to ignore the full range of issues that the next President will face."
