Best part (at about 3:33):

If your neighbor’s house is burning, you’re not gonna spend a whole lot of time saying, “Well, that guy was always irresponsible. He always left the stove on. He always was smoking in bed.” All those things may be true, but his house could end up affecting your house. And that’s the situation we’re in right now. We’ve got to make sure that we put the fire out and then we’ll start making sure that these folks stop leaving the stove on. But right now our job is to put out the fire.  And we can’t forget that.

This is exactly what we need the presidential candidates to do.  Explain the situation to the American people, because they have the bully pulpit.  What we don’t need them to do is suspend their campaigns and try to wrastle Congress.

Barack Obama.  Ready to Lead.
