McCain has come out with a plan to solve this financial mess:

Part of this plan is to fire the SEC chairman and set up an federal agency to buy bad companies/investments.
I don't know if this is a good or bad plan, but that is not what is important - this is a PLAN. McCain is trying to show leadership on this financial mess and he has an opening to show voters he can help get the country moving forward again.
Obama needs to come out with a PLAN to deal with the immediate financial mess, or risk losing the initiative to McCain.

Obama has been hammering away at how McCain is part of the reason we are in the mess we are in and he has had some great lines, but we have heard that for two days now and it is time to move on. Real people are hurting and scared and they want to know how the country will get out of this mess - I really do not think they want to hear who's fault it is or who said what at this point - they want to see LEADERSHIP.
McCain is trying to LEAD on this issue. Yes, he has real short comings in this area, but he is LEADING and he will try to project an image of a LEADER in a crisis.
Obama should put forth a plan for deal with the immediate crisis. He should be speaking with Warren Buffet and his economic team and put forth a PLAN.
The blame game is on hold right not, the LEADERSHIP game is now on.
