To make it out as a bad thing is idiotic.

I think the only issue is that McCain beat Obama to making this move. Had Obama wanted to go back to Washington, and McCain wanted to continue campaigning, I doubt anyone complaining here now would be complaining about Obama's decision. They'd be vilifying McCain.
From a purely campaign perspective, not even getting in to actual good government, I think it was smart for McCain, and that's probably what really drives people nuts. He now seems much more authentically concerned about the economy.
