It does make sense, both McCain and Obama are Senators and probably should focus on this and worry about the campaign next week.
You know the MSM will take it as grandstanding, but we will see. |
|
King Liberal, you are just making Jeff Goldstein's argument below.
Protein Wisdom reports:
As I noted in an update last evening would almost certainly be the case, the media today is pushing the story that the firm owned by McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, lobbied for Freddie and Fannie Mac — all while continuing to ignore exploring, at any length, Sen Barack Obama’s actual ties to those closely related to the current economic meltdown. Not only that, but the Davis-as-tied-to-crisis story is disputed by the McCain campaign — which alleges that the NYT has reported in bad faith, and that public records back up the campaign’s claims that Mr Davis cut ties to his firm in 2006, and that he never lobbied Freddie or Fannie Mac (and in fact, hasn’t been a registered lobbyist since 2005).
All of which, I suppose, is not surprising; after all, the media seems to think that the Sen from Illinois is running against everyone but Senator McCain, from the Gov. of Alaska to a campaign manager, and so their function has been to try to dirty them and hope that as the stories accrue, the public is left with a certain impression crafted by their reporting, while the facts that undercut this impression will ultimately only be “corrected” in the back pages of the paper, if at all.

"UH why not just let bush do his job and you do your? Show up for the debate."
He's a sitting Senator, as are Biden and The One...as part of the Legislative Branch, it IS their job to be in Washington to fix this.
|
|
|
McCain is walking the talk by suspending his campaign to deal with financial issues affecting all Americans. He truely cares for his country. |
|
|
Writing legislation IS McCain's job. It would be great of Obama to show up anyway. No one would watch. McCain could then say that while he was working on a fix for the problem that Democrats caused Obama was trying to get face time on TV. |
|
...to just listen to everything KL says and do the exact opposite.
I have never seen anybody else who is so exactly wrong every single time....! It's amazing.... |
|
|
Since Obama's "job" has been running for president for over 2 years, he naturally assumes this is McCain's job as well. |
|
get to work.
Senator Obama, suspend your campaign, postpone your debate prep, stop "formulating your response", and put your country first.
It matters little "who called who first" -- lots of politicians say we need to "do something" -- others actually take action. McCain is clearly ready to act.
Way to lead, Senator McCain! |
|
|
make the rest of them stay as well and to hell with their re-election campaigns. |
|
|
Obama doe not know how to write legislation, why not show some thing the he wrote. Just think it all started with Fanny and Freddie, wow who was in charge, I know who got the money but who was running the show, and they want to run the government lol |
|
kind of like designing your own presidential seal or removing the American flag from your plane, or giving a speech to 200,000 Germans or giving your acceptance speech in a stadium surrounded by greek columns ...
of course in this case it is actually doing the current job they are paid to do ...
I mean just think of all the "grandstanding" Obama could have done had he actually run the sub-committee he was in charge of ... |
|
This is just what McCain needed to do to show everyone that he believes in "Country First".
Obama & Biden can go back to congress and vote "present" again. |
|
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
The smell of desperation REEKS in here! |
|
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
The smell of desperation REEKS in here! |
|
Obama won't do a damn thing ...
But 2 weeks from now he'll be talking about HIS bailout package ... |
|
Carl Cameron just mentioned on FNC that McCain is suspending advertising as well.
COUNTRY FIRST!
Where are you Obama? The clock is ticking. |
|
So McCain can't devote two hours to defending his party's principles to show America he can lead.
Instead, he's afraid of debate, afraid of truth, afraid of having to defend Gramm, afraid of anybody not Sean Hannity questioning Palin.
And you hypocrites demand that Obama now step back from having to do what you've been demanding.
I guess those non-spinnable polls are scaring you.
McCain/Palin: Not Ready To Lead 08! |
|
KL is nothing more than some dorm room rat that cannot play varsity sports (also intermural sports), was never given a bid to a fraternity, does not have a girl/boyfriend (he probably prefers the latter) and has nothing better to do in his free time than post idiotic comments that make zero sense.
If he knew anything about politics and the economy he would understand how serious of a problem this is and McCain is 100% right to suspend his campaign and return to Washington to try to solve this problem
|
|
|
First of all, Obama initiated the idea of a joint statement by the 2 candidates and it looks like McCain preempted it by taking credit for it. So much for the straight talk express. Secondly, if President Bush has time to speak to the country tonight, certainly John McCain can find sometime Friday night -- unless you are claiming that Bush is putting politics before country. Finally, what exactly has changed in the last 48 hours that would cause McCain to suspend his campaign other than the Fox and WP polls showing McCain way behind Obama all of a sudden? |
|
|
This is the McCain that I trust with the countries future and my family’s future; putting the United States first as he always does. |
|
He can always debate Biden.
That could be pretty lively. |
|
|
OBAMA,NEEDS A DRUG TEST! AL SHARPTON,AND JOHN KERRY IN THE MEAN TIME,ARE IN A MEETING WITH LOUIS FARRACKAN.JUST IN CASE OBAMA IS ELECTED,LOUE WILL BE IN CHARGE OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM!AND FIFTY-CENT IS GOING TO INSTALL A 200,OOO STERO SYSTEM IN THE PREZ-LIMO! |
|
just hire the friggin' Joker and Riddler to astroturf? What is with the "HAHAHAHA" idiocy?
Hey KL, yeah maybe Congress will ignore McCain like they did 3 years ago regarding Fannie and Freddie. Like they ignored Greenspan and Bush. I love your line about him being ignored because Chris Dodd is running the show. Wow, so are you saying that Chris Dodd would put politics in front of our economy? |
|
Back pedal much?
VoiceOfReason: Bush, being POTUS, has an obligation to speak to the people. Just as it it is McCain's job to write legislation it is Bush's job to speak to the people of this country. Are you people all complete doofuses? |
|
in the senate? He's way beyond that kind of scut work.
Hey, he DID his time- all 143 days of it.
Anyway, he's busy. He has to raise money, and give speeches. And his minions- scuse me, his dem colleagues in the senate- are takin' care of bizness - they're introducing all kinds of bills with his name on them (so by October his resume won't look quite as thin as it does now).
So why should he lower himself to stop the very important stuff he's doing now (talking) to go and DO something????
Please.
|
|
he likes it better if McCain isn't there!
Just like saying no to the 10 joint town halls McCain proposed. Now, Obama says no to a bi-partisan session to solve an economic crisis.
So, as long as Obama is the only one who gets to talk, he'll debate.
Obama: CAMPAIGNS FIRST!
|
|
|
Too bad he wasn't eager when McCain wanted to do those Townhalls. |
|
|
but of course, she's so dumb that McCain won't let her speak to reporters. |
|
if Obama insists on putting politics first.
|
|
|
...even remember where D.C is.....? |
|
|
No my friend, we're just concerned citizens just trying to talk sense into our right wing bretheren who have literally lost their minds. The spinning going on here is insane. McCain's imploding, get a grip and admit the obvious. |
|
Get ready for the "ummm uhhh well your stupid" comment from KL. Once he gets his a-s kicked in a debate, which happens every time he writes something, in typical liberal fashion he resorts to cheep shots.
He really needs to put down his bong and get out of his dorm room. I am sure there are lots of things to do at whatever community college he attends.
|
|
|
Keep spinning righties! We all know what's going on here. Not fooling anyone! |
|
Both men want to be President, but we've only heard from John McCain?
Where is Obama? Sure, we've heard from his handlers, surrogates, and campaign people --- but where is Obama?
How long will it take to formulate his response?
Are you taking a poll or something? What's up?
|
|
How much did your lobotomy cost....?
You got a good lawsuit there, pardner.... |
|

Yeah, you obviously hold yourself to a much higher standard! |
|
Kind of the opposite of the Bob Dole plan: eschewing the presidential campaign for a few days to take on Senatorial duties. The American people, unfortunately, might see it as a cop-out. But McCain is once again putting the good of the country ahead of his personal ambitions.
Meanwhile, a genuine crisis is here. Does Obama have the spine to even be "present" this time? And if he can't handle a crisis now, can we expect him to handle a crisis when he's in the White House? |
|
Part of "talking sense" means actually saying someting of value. Your comments on this thread:
"Keep spinning righties! We all know what's going on here. Not fooling anyone!"
"but of course, she's so dumb that McCain won't let her speak to reporters. "
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
The smell of desperation REEKS in here!"
Well, all I have to say is "Good Work." Keep talking that "sense." |
|
|
I am not above cheep shots once provoked. Difference is we conservative choose to debate the issues. While people like you and KL like to post idiotic comments and once defeated ALWAYS resort to cheep shots. |
|
Is that why he supports Obama and opposes McCain?!?!?
Or is his sock-puppetry catching up with him and he forgot which ID he was using? |
|
If you want to be the President, act like the President. Just like dressing for the job you want, not the job you have.
McCain isn't doing this for attention. He is doing it because it is THE RIGHT THING to do and it is top priority. The debate can wait a few days or a week. Discussing Foreign Relations right now is not the top of the agenda with the current market situation.
McCain and Obama BOTH need to suspend campaigning to be sure that the rest of us don't get royally screwed on this bailout! |
|
....when McCain doesn't show up for the debate, and Obama STILL loses....?!
Uh,uh,uh..... |
|
McCain has missed more Senate votes than anyone else this year.
McCain admitted that he really didn't know much about economics.
Now, McCain wants to postpone the debates because he thinks his expertise is needed in Washington.
Please.....Do McCain's handlers really think that the American people are that dumb? Even McCain's supporters recognize a desperation move when they see one. |
|
WARNING!: ADULT TALK HERE! DORM RATS DON'T LOOK!
Someone asked a good question, why did McCain wait this long to take this action? If it is just a grand standing ploy he could certainly have done it sooner. Why now? Is it the time that he needs to be in the Senate to best effect what ever legislation is being written? Or has he has gotten word that the dems are planning to run amuck with the legislation and he feels he should be on hand to help defuse the bomb? |
|
|
Barrack may not remember where DC is but that's okay, Michelle runs everything anyways. |
|
|
Obama wanted a joint statement, as if that would accomplish anything. McCain decides to lead instead. |
|
....sodomites, Communists, and atheists do not run the United States of America.
In my world, men do not marry men, Muslims do not tell Christians what they can say and what they can't say, and problems created by an overgrown government are not an excuse for an even bigger one....
Maybe you're the one who needs to get out of the meth lab for a while..... |
|
|
this isn't so much about economics as a whole as it is about the mortgage industry. And, please, try to remember, McCain alerted the Senate to problems in the industry several years ago, so he has been shown to have knowledge of the field. |
|
In fact, there was a period of time when Obama could have debated John McCain several times --- back when McCain offered to do the 10 or so joint town hall appearances.
Now is the time for action. John McCain is acting, while Obama is thinking about what he's going to say.
McCain has given us another unprecedented moment in American politics, by putting it aside to solve a crisis and lead.
McCain / Palin: REAL Change! |
|
|
Have you ever made an actual point? |
|
I bet Pat Buchanan must get a good laugh at McCain's knock off of his old campaign slogan "America First".
The problem with McCain's slogan is that it is hard to tell which country he's talking about. Is it Georgia, Israel, or Mexico? It sure as hell isn't America, based on his votes on issues like amnesty for illegals and his belligerent positions regarding the Middle East and the Caucasus.
Of course Obama is just as bad with his "citizen of the world" crap.
The US is screwed come November. |
|
|
|
|
but when he combs his hair just right you can hardly see it. |
|
Anyone who could possibly think a debate on foreign policy is more important than getting the whole dam* country out of this horrific mess it's in because the greedy, manipulating scum who run wall street Fannie freddie, etc. needs their head examined. When's your apppointment? The economy of this country is at stake and you're worried about a stinking debate because you are a left loon. Your man doesn't give a hoot about the economy, only his own nefarious agenda, and fools such as yourself help him effect that lunacy.
I wouuld suggest you take a long walk off a short pier. It would be nice if you could take mr. 'NOTHING' with you. |
|
How obvious is it that the dems don't want to solve the crisis?
You can't have a presidential campaign going on independent of this crisis. One can respond or one can take the initiative.
|
|
'FUNDAMENTALS OF THE ECONOMY ARE SOUND
Nuff said. '
I'm glad we agree here. The thing is, I believe it and you don't. You see, the mortgage industry is not the economy, it is just one piece of it. It was a piece of the economy that was running smoothly until the democrats decided to regulate it off balance. If the democrats do not make further foolish law to make the matter worse the economy will be fine, in the short and the long run. If the democrats screw it up (which they will, probably) the economy will take it in the chin but will recover due it's overall soundness (barring further stupidity of the democrats).
|
|
....Obama like a fiddle ever since this campaign started.
The poor boy is always a step or two behind, and always on defense.... a babe in the woods....a deer in the headlights.... |
|
I just got a news alert that Obama rejects McCain's call to postpone debate over financial crisis.
I have a feeling tomorrow Obama will be saying "this comment was taken out to context," when people start asking him if his Presidential aspirations are more important than helping fix the mortgage and banking crisis. Just like his vote against "Born Alive" protection for babies that survived abortions.
|
|
...debate Barack.
Dang- THAT IS BRILLIANT!!! Mac is busy cleaning up the mess the DEMs made, so he sends Sarah to handle Barack!
Wouldn't exactly be FAIR though - considering Sarah can speak without a teleprompter.
|
|
If you demo-rats had your way, the USA would be run by "sodomites, communists and Atheists!"
We're almost to that point now. |
|
want to solve this crisis? They are more interested in gaining power. First, they tried to lose the war so they could blame it on the Republicans. Now, they are happy to sit on the sidelines and let the country go down the toilet--just so long as they are in charge of whats left over.
|
|
Once Again, KL shows that he cares nothing for the country, only for his agenda. There is no reason to waste time talking about candyland and unicorns.
This blog is about McCain's decision to do the job he's being paid to do as a Senator, rather than continue on the campaign. Pretty good idea, if you ask me. It's a matter of priorities. Obviously McCain feels the problems at hand are more important than winning. |
|
|
with suspending his campaign and delaying the debates because he has NOTHING to add to find a solution in DC. He wants the debate to go on because McCain does have plenty to add. He knows McCain will come out looking better than him. Plus, it looks like he got toes stepped on, or so he says, and his feelings are hurt. |
|
|
Not a bad idea! Let McCain work on legislation, and send Palin to the debate. What a pretty can of whooping butt that would be! |
|
|
In this time of crisis - he just doesn't have time to do his job as Senator - just like he didn't have time to visit the wounded in the hospital. Thank God that we have guy like McCain who has his priorities in order. |
|
Where does your messiah's "statement" say anything about suspending campaigns or postponing debates....??
I think, as usual, you are giving him credit for another phantom accomplishment....!
...and stop sitting on my unicorn....! |
|
"The decision was Obama's"?? The decision was to do what? Pass a proposal that they had not yet had time to review?
That's not what we are talking about here, sir! We are talking about reducing campaign activity so that our Senators have time to analyze this problem.
You somehow find a way to slant every detail to Obama's favor. What a talent you have! |
|
....failed ESL student.
Sheesh, what an idiot! |
|
I am not mad, and I don't think that any of my posts showed anger.
Also, I don't wear bifocals, I'm too young for that.
Also, I am not confused.
If McCain and Obama are, as you say, teaming up, GOOD! But please, stop insulting conservatives. |
|
This is an example of what the country can expect from each candidate if they win the election.
Obama First – Talking on the phone to people about the economy while continuing his ads and preparing for a debate that he hopes his opponent doesn’t show up for. Obama is very hopeful that the debate will become a speech that he reads from a teleprompter that is written by a brilliant speech writer, since he isn’t good at answering questions. Obama with his over inflated ego wants to be petty and argue about who did what first. He is paid to be in Washington and vote on issues – guess he is afraid a vote of present will not look good in this situation.
Country First McCain – Is going to Washington to do his job, the job he is paid to do, and putting the country ahead of running election ads and a debate. Proving as he did when he said, “I’ld rather lose an election than a war” that the country that he loves, that he fought for, that he almost died for comes first.
|
|
Obama wants to talk on the phone about the crises and issue joint statements.
McCain is going to Washington to take action to deal with the crises.
Action speaks louder than words!
|
|
|
|
why not have Sarah Palin offer to allow Obama go with Mc Cain to Washington to help hammer out a deal to save the economy while she and Biden meet in Mississippi to debate the foreign policy issues, or even change it to the economy if they want?
We have been hearing where McCain and Obama both stand on all the issues for nearly two years now anyway, and I don't think either of them could say anything new on any subject. But, it would be a great opportunity for Biden and Palin to let the people of this country know where they each stand on either subject.
Obama just wants to wriggle out of going back to Washington to do his job because he is so enamored with the thought of becoming President of the US he can't be bothered with anything else, not even the economy woes which could very well trun into a depression before our very eyes - sooner rather than later.
John Mc Cain is a leader, Obama is a power-hungry opportunist. The choice is clear.
Vote McCain/Palin on November 4th. |
|
That's not McCain backing down, it's saying if the crisis can be addressed by the end of the week, he'll attend the debate.
Is there no minor point you'll latch onto to prove your candidate is better? |
|
|
McCain takes charge...Obama votes present. |
|
Good posts, friends! See you on the next one.
Notice that King Liberal's response last time was "whatever". How intelligent! |
|
Insults are all KL has. I have never seen him make a substantive post. They are always attacks and putdowns. He is opaque to reason.
BTW, I am old enough for bi-focals. ,_,
lol |
|
Or Romney or another of McCain's advisers.
But if McCain is in DC trying to fix the problem, don't let Obama show up alone - have a McCain surrogate (Palin would make the most sense) show up to the debate. |
|
|
Why, oh why, can't Republicans take responsibility for ANYTHING?! Party of personal accoountability? My right foot! |
|
|
We will if we ever screw up the world's economy like your guys did....promise! |
|
|
We don't need bi-focals to read your stuff...we need barf bags.... |
|
Send 'em to everyone else....
I'm a pilot....I've got my own. |
|
You know the Town Hall demo, that's why you made the bifocals comment? So if you know the demographics of TH folks, who do you work for?
I don't belong to any demographic category. Neither do my father, mother, or sister.
|
|
|
Hmm, it seems that King Lib is everywhere, all of the tine. Are we sure he's an individual? It would take an awful lot of energy to post as much as "he" has. |
|
|
Nice comment, Am I supposed to care that you're tired? Or am I supposed to assume that my comments bore you? Either way, nice answer! |
|
|
If you know our demographics, as you claim, could you please tell me why you are pretending to "yawn"? |
|
If you know our demographics, as you claim, could you please tell me why you are pretending to "yawn"? And what demographic do you presume I'm in?
Good night to you, king. |
|
|
once again exposes with his mouth what is wrong in this country, left wing idiots that wont work together with anyone not even other dems ,mccain wants to find a solution that works for ALL america, and asked obama to work together, and obama , being a true left wing idiot, showed mccain the same finger he showed clinton, so much for working accross lines for the good of the country, and all you dems are so full of kool-aide you dont see just laugh and attack and ridicule and wonder why obama isnt 25 points ahead and ready from coranation, go away , shut up , we dont need more proof we need unity.hence the name UNITED STATES, not the LEFT WING CALIF< NY< of the usa. |

Here is your ridiculous diatribe, and my response to each point:
1. Do you want something?
Julie responds--yes, I want accountable government.
2. Yes you are boring.
Julie responds--really? If I'm so boring, why don't you just ignore me?
3. Yes you belong to a demo and you know what it is. Don't be so coy.
Julie responds: I'm not being coy. You haven't asked for my demographics. Want 'em? Probably not, because they wouldn't fit your agenda
4. See #2.
Julie responds: See response to #2.
5. If you want 20 barf bags for a nickle I can "hook you up." Paddy might be able to help you as well.
Julie responds: What?
6. I have less and less time for the intellectually dishonest on this board. You're earlier commnet discarding the events of the day because they didn't fit your myopic view discredits you. I do not hold that against you however. sometime sit is hard to see things as they evolve in real time.
Julie responds: Again, what? Myopic view? Intellectually dishonest? I SO glad you hold nothing against me, brother, I'm not the one who needs to be discredited.
7. Do you like Ice cream? How about kool aid?
Julie responds: Don't care for either, thanks.
8. Screwtape said earlier that Obama "lied" during his press conference about being in touch with McCain, as it seems you two are close if you can get him to produce his evidence I would be much obliged.
Julie responds: I am not "close" with Screwtape. I don't even know him/her. But Screwtape has a lot of valuable comments.
9. Remember there is no such thing as a dumb question.
Julie responds: Yes there is. Whoever coined that phrase was an idiot. Dumb questions are rampant!
10. And now madam, I bid you good night.
Julie Responds: I bid you good night, too. But isn't a bit silly for you to be polite to someone you just called "boring"? Please, what a farce. |

Reading the posts on this site helped remind me why I try to keep away from right wing blogs. They are nothing but republican talking points repeated ad nausium with name calling and ranting thrown in for good measure.
In all the blather on this site not once is it noted that this crisis on Wall Street is proof possitive of the failure of neo-conservative theories regarding market deregulation. Deregulation of the markets is the reason that this has happened to our economy, and as a life long proponent of deregulation John McCain is one of the last people I want handling this crisis.
What Obama should have said to McCain when he suggested his bi-partisan work weekend is, "Thanks John, but you are part of the problem, so please sit this one out while the Democrats clean up this Republican mess." |
|
Amazing.
As of yesterday, McCain admits that he hadn't even bothered to read the proposed legislation.
As of last night, he was giving interviews to Katie Couric.
McCain is hiding his own fear of being face-to-face with Obama.
The most recent poll shows that most Americans see McCain's actions as a desperate political stunt.
McCain read the most recent polls and panicked.
What a pair. An air head from Alaska and a bumbling conceited hothead from Arizona.
Surely, the Republicans could have done a whole lot better. |
|
|
get Romney on that ticket - FAST. Find some graceful way, or tell the country "I forgot to vet her...and now I find I can't have her on the ticket with this economy." Dang. |
|
After 26 years of pushing for deregulation McCain has suddenly seen the light and is for responsible government oversight? I don't think so. You right wingers can't have it both ways. If you want no government oversight of the free market then there can be no government bailout of the free market. No more privatizing of the profits and socializing the losses. Again, NO MORE PRIVATIZING THE PROFITS AND SOCIALIZING THE LOSSES. That's what McCain and Bush are doing, giving Americans' hard earned tax dollars to the mega wealthy after they ripped us all off.
I've had enough of this BS. The same people who are McCain's closest economic advisors are also the criminals who engineered the deregulated market that has led to this crisis. It sort of reminds me of living in Venezuala, where the police where so corrupt that they would burgularize your home, and when you reported the break in, would sell you your stuff back for a tidy profit. It was bad but this is worse because this is happening in my country. It is time to call these scumbags out for their lies and it's time for change. |
|
|
Does Senator Obama plan to vote "present" on this life/death issue for the country...that is, while he's preening before his presidential seal and talking to himself? |
|
I applaud McCain's decision to temporarily suspend his campaign and stay in Washington until Congress can work out a bailout plan! On the other hand, you have Obama, who refuses to do likewise, saying, "If they need me, they can call me...you can talk to my staff..." Presidential campaigning, politiking, debating etc., are all fine and well. But in a time of crisis, one has to put aside one's own self-interest (even for a day or two) for the good of the country. In a time of crisis, this country needs bold leadership. It's obvious to me that Obama isn't that leader! |
|
|
since Mr. Obama comes down on both sides of so many issues, he can just debate himself |
|
I wish someone would point out Obama has been holed up in a hotel room for a week studying foreign policy. Libs keep calling Sarah unqualified.
This is the dems pick for president. What a joke. |
|
Obama must have questions and answers memorized, so he wants to talk about foreign policy,
why dont they change the topic to the economy,
we are in a total economic collapse,
and Obama says call me me if you need me,
wow,
Obama wants to run our country like his advisors ran fannie and freddie into the ground,
Noway Obama you just showed the American people how he would run things,
let someone else do it,
Obama wants to vote present.

easy. do both. spend today and tomorrow am in Washington, fly to Miss. at 5pm do debate fly back to Wash. at 10pm. Don't suspend, have Sarah run the campaign, both candidates get their message out through their campaign staff and surrogates. Why are the choices mutually exclusive? .C'mon Mac, don't get weak kneed now! |
|
Boy his lack of intellect really shows.
What a poor multi tasker he is.
So if he is president and he has to go to the bathroom when the red phone rings is he going to say wait until I finish what I'm doing first?
Both democrats and republicans said they do not need him to take credit for the work that they have already done on the rescue plan.
The University of Mississippi has spent $5,000,000 preparing for this debate and McCain is telling them he has something else to do.
This 60 year old white republican grandmother from Arizona has had enough of John McCain who has spent 26 years doing nothing for Arizona. What would he do for America? The same Nothing, Zero, Nada. |
|
Why not schedule another debate on the economy. I am sure there will be some interesting info to bring to the American people.
Think before you jump on this idea libs.
Tibby |
|
|
I would have been greatly impressed with Obama and credited him with courage and leadership if he would have had the integrity to show up and do the job he is currently being paid for without having to be asked by the president to participate. Both Senators had the option to resign their seats to run for president. They both declined but only one is willing to honor his commitment to the people to continue to represent their interests at such a critical time. Obama acts more and more like an Emperor defined as "the male sovereign or supreme ruler of an empire". |
|

but didn't the left, the libs, the dems and the press jump all into GWB face when he was not arriving onto New Awlins as katrina(the storm of the century)was pulling out? But osmama obama gets away with this ain't so bad call me if you need me. I'm also pretty sure that his response is about the same as nagin and blanco gave when katrina was still way out in the gulf. |

...at least he's got that much going for him. Unfortunately that's all he's got going anymore. This latest gimmick he tossed out there shows just how panicked he is, and how he is completely out of answers, solutions, and even his old standby, lies. He's given up!
Says A LOT about what kind of president he would make - a big fat, YELLOW one. What happened to this once-war-hero??? Very sad indeed to see such a man crumble into a pathetic, cowardly shell of his former self. Oh, well, better that we find out now before he's in the Oval Office facing a huge crisis...then calls for a "time out" in order to get his facilities in order.
Obviously the man is too old, too senile, and too much of a risk to be put in office. He's pretty much said so himself with this latest frightened-child reaction. |
