    This reeks of the worst type of political chicanery. What's the dude going to do - rewrite the $700 billion bailout package? Until last week, the dude thought Greenspan was still chairman of the federal reserve and still doesnt know what a credit default swap is. b,121b,121The depths the dude is willing to go is unfathomable.

    Obama's statement supposedly will be pretty hard hitting. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that room.b,121b,121Harry Reid just came out and said McCain is not being "helpful" and that this is not the time for a "political photo op".b,121b,121And the official word from Old Miss is that the debate is ON. No info on any potential topic switch.

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Word is that he was very presidential. Press is allegedly softballing... most likely because they know what's up and have been mad at McCain all week. I can't see the press conf yet... Reading live blogging it appears that Obama called McCain's bluff and made him look bad.b,121b,121McCain now either needs to go to the debates (looks weak) or stonewall (looks worse).

    Obama said if he is NEEDED in Washington he will be there any time. He also said if he is NEEDED in Washington, both he and McCain have "big planes that they have painted their slogans on the side of and can get them to Mississippi pretty quickly"b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/oj.gif" alt="" 21

Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, "Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?"b,121b,121Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."b,121b,121"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sara Palin. Where is she?"b,121b,121"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"b,121b,121Developing...

Obama handled it better than I thought he would.b,121b,121That said, can someone one please tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS MCCAIN GONNA DO TO SINGLEHANDEDLY FIX THIS SITUATION? This dude hadn't even READ the proposal yesterday and now he's gonna fly to Washington like Super Gramps and GIT ER DONE? Nobody is buying this shit. Time will tell how the public reacts, but the pundits will start weighing in on how this is all just a political move by McCain and that's bound to sway some people.1b,121b,121"I want to delay the debate"b,121b,121"well, I don't"b,121b,121So what now? Someone will have to give in.
