All the papers have front-page comments on the last minute fight attempts of the US republican presidential candidate.

Rzeczpospolita quotes John McCain as saying ‘I will fight till the end’ and publishes a comment by Poland’s former president, Aleksander Kwasniewski, who says that regardless of the election result, things will not change for Poland.
Gazeta Wyborcza comments that McCain wants to repeat the model ‘lose but win’ but reminds that in the past fifty years only twice did a candidate who topped the pre-election polls finally land as a loser in the elections. The paper comments that America needs to change the style of thinking, and should McCain win, this would not be possible. That is why Obama has to take over the presidency, not for himself, not for the US, but for all of us, writes the daily.

Still with Gazeta Wyborcza, which comments that the Polish plumber knocks on the doors of Polish unemployment centres .The number of Poles coming back home from job migrations is growing, and that concerns mainly builders, traders and fish processing industry workers. ‘Ireland is coming back,’ the paper quotes a worker of one of the unemployment centres, ‘the cost of living on the Emerald Island is growing and the Polish workers find staying there no longer profitable.’

‘What will the president say about the common currency?’ wonders Dziennik. It is almost certain that the Polish head of state will attend the EU summit called by President Nicolas Sarkozy. It aims to establish a common EU stand on the global financial crisis, to be discussed in Washington, the paper goes on. If the Polish head of state goes, the prime minister will not, since it would not do Poland any good to repeat the recent row over the flight to Brussels. The government, however, has one problem, writes the daily. It would be happy to share its success on adopting the road map to enter the euro zone, which helps stabilise the economy. Government politicians strongly doubt whether the president can make such a statement, writes Dziennik. Last week’s talks showed that while Lech Kaczynski conceded that Poland should adopt the common currency, he pointed that it would lead to a drop of wages by over 10% and considered 2012 a most unrealistic date for Poland to enter the euro zone. There is little time left, writes Dziennik and the president and the premier continue to differ in outlooks on the common currency.

A young pupil from Warsaw had a very defined outlook on currency in general, writes Super Express. The teenager decided to charge each of his schoolmates 5 zlotys, some 1,5 euro, for using the school staircase. Super Express writes it all went well until an older pupil called the demand absurd. A stair fight erupted and the school authorities were compelled to call police for help. Apparently writes the daily, the young ‘stair businessman’, was an old acquaintance of police officers. They took him to a juvenile detention center, where he will be waiting to stand before a juvenile court.
