NO BAILOUT!

ABC News has learned that President Bush called Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., this evening and invited him to participate in a meeting about the Wall Street bailout bill tomorrow afternoon in Washington, DC, with other congressional leaders, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Obama accepted the president's invitation, a source tells ABC News.
The invitation comes at an interesting time. The President has not been in the middle of negotiations with Congress, leaving that task to his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
McCain earlier today announced he was suspending his campaign -- and his participation in the first presidential debate Friday night -- in order to return to the Capitol to work on the flailing bill. McCain's move has been denounced by Democrats and political observers as a political gimmick, though the McCain campaign insists the senator is trying to put politics aside to solve the stalled legislation.
President Bush's move could be seen as an attempt to aid McCain's gambit by creating a presidential-level meeting where the Arizona Republican is present.
Obama still intends to attend the debate Friday evening.
Oh! Bush payback to McCain.
FAIL!
All I can do is laugh at 0bama. So is the debate still on?
As soon as I figure this out, I think it’s going to be brilliant.

I’ve just decided that President Bush is an IDIOT...or a traitor.
Obama just lost some DUmmies and KOssaks.
Nice job Bush!
NO BAILOUT!
So Barry is now dancing to President Bush’s tune ?
Hilarious !
Not at all. McCain is the leader. 0bama is the follower. Who’s going at the behest of the President?
Ah, geez, I don’t know what it was. Maybe the President knows how to play the politics game, I sure don’t think asking Obama to Washington was a good move. He should have let the Good Ship Obama sink.
He must be needed. /s
It makes 0bama look indecisive and weak.
Will the media report this as a “stunt” now? After all, McCain returning to D.C. to do his FREAKIN JOB, while the economy is in a tailspin, is considered a “stunt”.
I absolutely LOATHE the media, if you couldn’t tell.
Check
The One looks like a follower in this crisis.
ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
